Overview
Skin rejuvenation is a broad term for treatments aimed at improving tone, texture, fine lines and signs of sun exposure. It can include chemical peels, microneedling, laser and light-based treatments, and medical-grade skincare.
The right approach depends on your concerns, skin type, tolerance for downtime and budget. Often, a combination plan with sun protection and home care works best.
A consultation helps match treatments to goals and identify any concerns that need medical evaluation, such as changing moles.
How it typically works
- Skin assessment.
- Discussion of goals and downtime.
- Treatment planning.
- Treatment sessions.
- Home care guidance.
What affects the outcome
- Sun protection supports any rejuvenation plan.
- Combination treatments are common.
- Skin type affects options.
- Downtime varies by treatment.
- Suspicious spots should be evaluated by a dermatologist.
Local notes for Colorado's Front Range
Colorado's high elevation and abundant sunshine mean stronger UV exposure than at sea level, so sun protection is a common part of skin treatment plans. Colorado sets rules for who may perform medical aesthetic procedures.
