With Valentine’s Day approaching on the 14th, February is the month of love, and what better time than now to fall in love with your skin again. Look to dermatologist Jennifer Baron, MD, in San Jose, California, for your best advice on skin rejuvenation.
Every person, every face, and every skin type has its own characteristics. For that reason, when we talk about skin rejuvenation, we’re discussing a broad palette of procedures and treatments that serve as the basis for your ideal skin revitalization program.
You won’t need every service we offer. In fact, you may be surprised at how little help your skin needs to glow. We’re all our own worst critics, so an impartial, professional consultation with Dr. Baron is the first vital step to rejuvenation in time for Valentine’s Day, or for your own Valentine's gift to yourself for a refreshed look for the coming spring.
The scope of skin rejuvenation
You can improve your skin’s appearance in any number of ways, and skin rejuvenation covers any or all of them. Some of the most common skin issues include:
- Uneven skin tone
- Overall dullness
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Photoaging (sun damage)
- Scarring
- Laxity (sagging skin)
- Pore size and other skin texture concerns
- Unwanted hair
As a full-service dermatology practice, Dr. Baron and her team offer a range of treatments to meet your skin-rejuvenation needs.
Our rejuvenation procedures and treatments
Consider these therapies to improve the appearance and feel of your skin.
Broadband light (BBL) therapy
Also called a photofacial or intense pulsed light (IPL), this light-based treatment uses high-intensity, broad-spectrum light to deliver energy non-invasively beneath the skin to stimulate collagen production and break up skin discoloration and pigmentation.
Microneedling
A secret your body holds is that it can repair many common issues affecting your skin’s appearance. However, it responds only to damage. Many skin rejuvenation treatments leverage this principle by inducing controlled damage, which your body responds to in a predictable way.
Microneedling initiates a cascading healing response by creating tiny pinhole injuries in your skin. The damage heals quickly on the surface while triggering a months-long process that delivers brighter, tighter skin. Combine microneedling with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy or custom-matched nourishing serums to meet your skin’s unique needs.
Injectable treatments
Botox® and dermal fillers each deal with specific types of wrinkles. Expression line wrinkles form over muscles in your face that become semipermanently contracted. Botox is a neuromodulator that relaxes muscles, treating wrinkles in the forehead and between and beside your eyes.
Dermal fillers literally fill in missing tissue, collagen, and other support aspects of the dermis layer into which lax skin begins to fall, filling crevasses and adding volume. Each type of injectable provides results that last for months.
These are just three of the many skin rejuvenation treatments we offer to help you fall in love with your skin again. Contact Jennifer Baro,n MD, at her San Jose practice for a professional skin assessment. Call or click to arrange your visit today.
