SKIN CONDITIONS
What's your concern?
Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Wrinkles associated with aging are the most common issue our patients want to address. Several factors affect wrinkles, including sun exposure, smoking, sleep patterns, nutrition, and hydration, among others.
Wrinkles typically begin around the eyes and forehead, and then extend to areas around the lips and nasolabial folds. Over time, they can give the general appearance of sagging skin, reversing the often-desired pyramid facial shape towards a bottom-heavy triangular face shape caused by loss of firmness and texture as well as a reduction in collagen synthesis.
Therefore, it is important to treat fine lines and wrinkles as early as possible with natural skin care products and facial treatments to avoid more complex treatment requirements in the long run.
Depending on the cause and severity of the wrinkle, several facial aesthetic strategies may be considered, from minimally invasive treatments that support the appearance of skin firmness to more conventional approaches such as neuromodulators or bioactive materials.
Treatments for fine lines and wrinkles:
- Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) therapy, either by injection
or microneedling - Laser therapy
- Botox
- Bio-fillers and synthetic fillers
Treatments for acne and acne scars:
- PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin), often a first-choice option in our clinics, may be recommended by injection or microneedling as part of a personalized plan.
- Laser therapy
- Bio-fillers and synthetic fillers (for deeper acne scars)
Acne and Acne Scars
Acne removal and acne scar removal are the second most commonly performed procedures within our clinics. Studies have shown that approximately 80% of the population suffers from acne at some point during their lives.
Acne may come in different forms and and severity levels, in skin types of different ages and ethnicities. Oftentimes, it results in scar formation, pits, or changes in skin texture.
Fortunately, several options exist at CARE Esthetics to help improve the appearance of acne and acne scars. Using minimally invasive approaches, our providers develop personalized plans designed to support clearer, smoother-looking skin. Individual results vary.
Rosacea and Visible Facial Veins
Most commonly observed around the cheeks, nose, and forehead, rosacea is a chronic condition characterized by redness of the face. Patients also develop telangiectasia, a condition wherein dilated blood vessels cause unattractive red, blue, or purple veins on the face (especially the lower face).
Laser therapy is a common option for reducing the appearance of small facial blood vessels. Conditions such as rosacea may be addressed with a combination approach of laser therapy and microneedling with PRF. Individual results vary.
Sun Damage and Melasma Formation
Following excessive sun exposure, the skin on the face can suffer from melasma due to too much melanin production. Melasma is typically characterized by brown patches, which result in unnatural facial discoloration.
In addition, exposure to harsh ultraviolet (UV) light can cause facial skin to experience a rapid loss of elasticity and a decreased ability to produce collagen.
Treatment with PRF and microneedling may help improve the appearance of sun-damaged skin. For melasma, lasers and certain pigment-correction serums used at CARE Esthetics may be recommended. A consultation is required to determine which facial treatment is right for you based on your skin type and the severity of your condition. Individual results vary.
Moles
Moles are common skin growths that often appear with age. These spots may be addressed with laser therapy, a minimally invasive treatment.
During the procedure, your provider treats the area in a layer-by-layer fashion. Individual results vary.
