Skin Rejuvenation

Skin rejuvenation is achieved through a variety of treatments that enhance skin health and address signs of aging. ⁽¹⁾

Over time, sun exposure, genetics, environmental damage, and the natural aging process can cause changes in skin tone and texture. These changes may leave your skin looking dull, uneven, or damaged, even if you maintain a consistent skincare routine. While over-the-counter products may help, professional treatments offer more noticeable and longer-lasting improvements.

In New York City, both Dermatology, Laser & Surgery of Carnegie Hill and Dermatology, Laser & Surgery of Flatiron offer a wide selection of advanced skin rejuvenation procedures designed to help patients restore a youthful and refreshed appearance. These practices provide personalized treatment plans that focus on nourishing, resurfacing, and revitalizing the skin using proven non-surgical methods. Our goal is to help patients achieve brighter, smoother, and healthier-looking skin through expert care and customized treatment.

To start your skin rejuvenation journey, schedule a personal consultation at one of our two locations online or by calling the office nearest you:

About Skin Rejuvenation

Dermatology, Laser & Surgery of Carnegie Hill and Dermatology, Laser & Surgery of Flatiron specialize in various rejuvenation procedures that target multiple layers of the skin to address concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores, acne scars, and uneven pigmentation. Each treatment is carefully selected to match the patient’s unique skin type and desired results. Below are some of the rejuvenating treatments offered at both practices:

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive procedure that exfoliates the skin’s surface to remove dead skin cells and refresh the skin. ⁽¹⁾ This treatment is often recommended for patients looking to refresh their complexion, improve skin texture, and reduce the appearance of minor imperfections. Microdermabrasion can leave the skin feeling smoother and more radiant after just one session, with continued improvements over time and a series of sessions.

Clear + Brilliant®

Clear + Brilliant® is a fractional laser treatment designed to improve the overall tone and texture of the skin while being gentle enough for all skin types. This treatment uses a combination of 1440nm and 1927nm nonablative fractional lasers. ⁽²⁾ This laser works by creating thousands of microscopic treatment zones, encouraging the skin to replace damaged tissue with new, healthy cells. Patients seek Clear + Brilliant® to address early signs of aging, sun damage, or uneven pigmentation without the downtime associated with more aggressive lasers.

PRP Therapy

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy uses a patient’s own blood plasma to stimulate collagen production and tissue repair. ⁽³⁾ Our dermatology specialists will draw a small amount of blood, process it to concentrate the growth factors, and then reintroduce it into the skin through targeted injections or microneedling. This approach can improve skin elasticity, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and promote a more youthful glow. PRP is frequently combined with other treatments for enhanced results.

Microneedling

Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that stimulates the body’s natural healing response, which boosts collagen and elastin production. ⁽⁴⁾ Microneedling treatments can effectively help minimize acne scars, smooth out rough texture, and reduce the appearance of enlarged pores. Patients typically notice firmer, more even skin as the healing process unfolds.

Microneedling with PRP

For patients seeking more dramatic improvements, microneedling can be paired with PRP therapy. This combination allows the growth factors in PRP to reach deeper skin layers through the micro-channels created by the microneedling device. The result is amplified rejuvenation, with faster healing and greater collagen stimulation compared to when either treatment is done alone. Both NYC practices frequently recommend this approach for patients who want a powerful boost in skin renewal.

Micropen™

Micropen™ treatments are a variation of microneedling that uses a specialized device to create precise micro-punctures in the skin. This technology helps improve skin texture, tone, and firmness. The Micropen™ is particularly beneficial for treating delicate or hard-to-reach areas, offering targeted results with minimal discomfort and downtime.

HydraFacial

A HydraFacial is an innovative, non-invasive treatment that deeply cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates the skin using a specialized device. This device ultimately helps patients improve skin tone, texture, and radiance with minimal downtime. Our specialists typically recommend this treatment to patients seeking to address fine lines, enlarged pores, and general skin dullness.

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels resurface the skin by removing the damaged outer layers and stimulating collagen production, ultimately resulting in a smoother, brighter appearance by revealing the skin underneath. Chemical peel treatments come in several forms. Our specialists offer VI Peels, Glytone Peels, and PCA Peels, each of which aims to target common concerns such as discoloration, acne scars, and uneven texture.

Specialized skin rejuvenation treatments offer numerous benefits, some of which include:

Personal Consultation

At Dermatology, Laser & Surgery of Carnegie Hill and Dermatology, Laser & Surgery of Flatiron, all procedures begin with consultations to help patients feel comfortable and informed about their skin rejuvenation choices.

This is also the time to ask questions, learn what to expect, and explore post-treatment skincare routines to maintain your results.

If you would like to take the first step toward skin rejuvenation, contact the practice of your choice online or call either location directly:

Preparation

Before undergoing a skin rejuvenation procedure, patients will be given a detailed set of instructions. Patients may be advised to:

Following these guidelines and any others will help ensure optimal results, facilitate a smooth and effective procedure, and reduce the risk of irritation or side effects.

Procedure

The process of your skin rejuvenation treatment will vary depending on the chosen treatment. Microdermabrasion involves gentle exfoliation, while Clear + Brilliant® uses laser energy to create small thermal zones on the skin that foster new cell growth. Microneedling, Micropen™, and PRP therapy use fine needles or injections to stimulate collagen production. Most skin rejuvenation sessions take less than an hour and are well-tolerated with minimal discomfort. We prioritize patient safety and comfort, ensuring each treatment is performed with precision and care.

Results

Results from skin rejuvenation treatments will depend on the treatment or combination of treatments selected. Many patients notice an immediate improvement in skin brightness and smoothness, with continued enhancements over the following weeks as collagen production increases. Procedures like PRP therapy and microneedling often deliver progressive results, making multiple sessions beneficial for maximum improvement. Both NYC practices recommend scheduling follow-up appointments to assess your results and make adjustments to your treatment plan as necessary.

Recovery

One of the main advantages of non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatments is the minimal downtime they often require. Patients can usually resume daily activities shortly after treatment. Mild redness, swelling, or sensitivity may occur but typically subside within a few days. Your rejuvenation specialist will provide clear aftercare instructions, including gentle skincare routines and sun protection, to support healing and protect your refreshed skin. Throughout your recovery, our staff will remain available to guide you and answer any questions you may have.
