Skin Care

Atlanta, Marietta, and Woodstock, Georgia Facial Rejuvenation

Youthful, glowing skin is one of the most immediately-recognized aspects of beauty, and one of its most enduring constants. The luster of healthy skin immediately increases the beauty of your face and body, and we often recommend that patients who are having plastic surgery also use advanced skin care techniques to improve the quality and durability of their results. If your skin is dull, wrinkled, or discolored, we offer many skin care procedures that can reduce your wrinkles and improve your overall appearance.

How Your Skin Ages

Our skin is remarkable for its ability to flex, stretch, grow, and renew itself. Our skin is not designed to last, but is made of cells that are born, grow old, die, and are shed. When we are young, this process is quick, and the cells on the surface of our skin are young and fresh-looking, but as we age the process slows and the surface of our skin is made of older skin cells. As a result, the skin looks duller and acquires more damage from sun and environment. The skin becomes less flexible, and wrinkles begin to stay, first in places where the skin flexes regularly, then all over the skin's surface, contributing to what is often described as a “crepey“ appearance: thin-looking skin covered with numerous fine wrinkles.

Combating Skin Aging

To combat skin aging, we use a combination of procedures that speed up the slowed process of shedding skin as well as providing the skin with vital nutrients that help its older cells maintain a youthful glow.

A facial is a wash that cleans the skin, providing nutrients for the skin and removing the outermost layer of dead cells, a process known as exfoliation.

A peel is designed to remove more dead skin cells than a facial. Peels can be very mild, using fruit acids, or they can be powerful, using stronger forms of acid. Mild peels are designed to rejuvenate and fortify generally healthy skin, while more extreme peels are used to combat serious wrinkling, sun damage, discoloration, scars, even pre-cancers of the skin.

We also offer non-chemical forms of exfoliation, including microdermabrasion and laser skin resurfacing. Microdermabrasion uses tiny crystals to gently wear away the outer layer of skin. Laser skin resurfacing uses a laser to remove the outer layers of skin.

We also sell advanced skin care products that can help you maintain the youth of your skin by daily supplementing the nutrients it needs to keep itself healthy and lustrous. You can talk to our skin care specialist to design a skin care solution targeted to your skin's unique character.

Combating Other Wrinkles

Not all wrinkles are due just to changes in the skin. Some wrinkles have underlying causes that must be addressed. Wrinkles due to loose or hanging skin can be reduced with a facelift or similar procedure.

Some wrinkles are due to conditioned muscles that remain contracted instead of relaxing when not needed. BOTOX® Cosmetic injections help these muscles relax, removing the wrinkles they cause.

Other wrinkles are due to lost facial volume. These deep folds can be corrected using injections of dermal fillers like Restylane, Juvéderm, Radiesse, and Sculptra. Sometimes, transplanted fat may be used.

Other Treatments

In addition, Marietta Plastic Surgery offers other treatments that can help you look your best. We offer treatment for spider veins, vascular lesions, sun and age spots, and birthmarks. We also perform laser hair removal and tattoo removal.

Another specialized procedure we perform is permanent make-up services. Permanent make-up can be used to enhance your eyelashes, give lips color, enhance eye brows, or conceal scars. It can also be a crucial part of breast reconstruction, giving your reconstructed breast an areola that helps it look more natural.
