Whether you have been confronted with these problems for your entire life or they began to develop only recently, resurfacing procedures at Ethos Spa Skin and Laser Center will help you regain the youthful and vibrant aspect of the skin.
A few of the factors that can contribute to the aforementioned issues include prolonged exposure to ultraviolet rays, poor nutrition choices, the consumption of alcohol and tobacco.

There is no age restriction for skin resurfacing, so whether you need these treatments during your late teens or your twilight years, we at Ethos Spa Skin and Laser Center will not hesitate to help. However, the healing period depends on the body’s ability to regenerate the tissues, so older patients may have to wait a bit more for the full results.

3-Prong Approach To Getting Back Your Youthful Skin
Nowadays, there are three main approaches to skin resurfacing:
- Peeling
- Microdermabrasion
- Laser resurfacing
In regards to peeling, you can either opt for glycolic acid peels, TCA peels or phenol peels. Glycolic peels are recommended for superficial skin resurfacing needs, such as smaller wrinkles or crow’s feet. TCA peels are slightly more thorough and typically recommended for extensive wrinkles and blemishes and are ideal for localized peeling. Phenol peeling is the most aggressive, but has shown promising results in the treatment highly damaged skin, deep creases and pre-cancerous conditions.
Microdermabrasion is a procedure similar with sanding, meaning that a fine sandpaper-like surface is massaged at high speeds on the skin, with the role of eliminating the upper layers.
Microdermabrasion is substantially deeper compared to the aforementioned chemical peels and capable of addressing skin problems in an advanced stage. Lastly, the skin resurfacing technique implies carving miniature holes in the skin, allowing the surgeon to control the concentration the collagen particles and guide them accordingly.
