What’s the Difference Between Skin Resurfacing & Skin Rejuvenation
Hearing the terms skin resurfacing and skin rejuvenation can be confusing. They sound like they could be the same thing. But, in reality, they are two different services.
Skin rejuvenation can refer to anything that improves the appearance of your skin. It could include services like micro-needling and radiofrequency treatments, or products like facials, cleansers, and medical-grade skincare.
Skin resurfacing is designed to remove select imperfections by sloughing off the outer layer of skin. Using a variety of methods, we can eliminate the build-up of dead skin and debris on the surface of your skin, revealing healthier, smoother skin underneath.
Some treatments penetrate deeper than others, offering different results. Superficial treatments like chemical peels eat away at the very top layer of skin, revealing the healthier-looking skin underneath. However, more in-depth treatments lake laser resurfacing can go quite a bit deeper, offering more drastic changes like wrinkle reduction. The team at Kelso Lake Medical Cosmetics will discuss your treatment goals and help you determine what type of treatment will work best for you.
