SKIN REMODELING

Skin remodeling treatments stimulate new collagen production and rearrange existing collagen to help plump and tighten the skin for a more youthful appearance. Collagen is one of the main elements in our body that keeps skin looking firm. In other words, the more collagen production you have, the more supple your skin will look and feel.

Some of the most popular treatments for skin remodeling in our Nashville clinic include:

Microneedling (with/without PRP or radiofrequency)
Evoke
PDO Threading

MICRONEEDLING

Microneedling can refer to a variety of treatments that can be done using PRP, radiofrequency or with the MicroPen alone. While all 3 provide significant results, not every skin type if the sam, so neither is the treatment recommendation.

The advancements in the MicroPen have evolved and left many of our patients as happy as can be. While others have strongly benefited from the advanced technology of radiofrequency (RF) used in our Morpheus8 treatments for the face and body. Not to list PRP last, as it has definitely gained popularity due to its nickname as the ‘vampire facial’ has grown exponentially over the past several years.

EVOKE

Evoke is a pain free facial remodeling device that addresses the cheeks, jowls and chin submental area. The goal of the Evoke is to help reduce volume in the face and jowls while also improving the texture of fine lines and wrinkles. Anyone looking for more definition to their jawline and underneath their chin are great candidates.

DERMAPLANE

Men and women of all ages, from young people to older adults, can benefit from dermaplaning. Dermaplaning is a simple and safe procedure for exfoliating the epidermis and ridding the skin of fine vellus hair (peach fuzz). Using a scalpel and a delicate touch, Alison simply abrades the surface of the skin using light feathering strokes. This is a great treatment to offer to patients who are pregnant or nursing who want a deep exfoliation, but are not allowed to use peeling agents on their skin because of the risk that the chemicals will be absorbed into the blood stream, and may be transferred to the fetus or the child. It is also a first choice for patients who have excess vellus hair on the skin. This hair often causes a buildup of dirt and oils in the follicles, so removing the hair gives the patient healthier looking skin.

HYDRAFACIAL + PERK

HydraFacial is an invigorating treatment that can be given in as little as 30 minutes. It delivers long-term skin health and can be tailored to meet the specific needs of all skin types.

HYPERHIDROSIS

Morpheus8 can be done in 2-3 treatments for long lasting or even permanent results.

IPL

Intense Pulsed Light – ICON MaxG treats overall redness, brown discoloration, broken capillaries and sun damage.

KYBELLA

KYBELLA® is a prescription medicine used in adults to improve the appearance and profile of moderate to severe fat below the chin (submental fat), also called “double chin.” We also offer Kybella body contouring treatments to dissolve small areas of stubborn fat on the body.

MICRONEEDLING

The skin needling system allows for controlled induction of the skin’s self-repair mechanism by creating micro “injuries” in the skin which triggers new collagen synthesis yet does not pose the risk of permanent scarring. The result is smoother, firmer, and younger looking skin.

PIGMENTED LESIONS

Lumecca by InMode is one of the most powerful intense pulsed lights (IPL) on the market. It’s effective, safe and comfortable. Typically takes 1-2 sessions.

The Lumecca IPL laser is used to reduce and remove specific pigments in the skin, from redness and spider veins to discoloured patches.
