• Micro-Laser Peel – If your skin shows moderate signs of aging, a microlaser peel is worth looking into. “Stronger than microdermabrasion or a mild chemical peel, which typically only induce shedding of one epidermal layer, micro-laser peels can offer minimal-to-full epidermal exfoliation. The results include a minimized appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, enhanced skin elasticity, improved moderate scarring and overall radiant skin,” Daniel says. Because micro-laser peels are laser procedures, they typically require two to four days of recovery and cost between $500 and $1,000. • Dermal Fillers – Contrary to popular belief, dermal fillers like Juvederm, Restylane, Radiesse, and Sculptra not only spot-treat fine lines, but they fill the area as well. These are a cost-effective, minimally invasive way to reduce wrinkles and replace soft tissue loss. “Fillers seem to induce production of collagen in many people, leading to much longer-lasting effects,” Sabini says.
• Laser Skin Resurfacing – According to Daniel, “Fractionated CO2 laser skin resurfacing or Erbium laser resurfacing produce dramatic rejuvenation results without the downtime and enhanced risks posed by facial rejuvenation surgery.” These lasers have the ability to precisely target and treat certain problem areas like wrinkles and sunspots, without damaging the skin around them. “Depending on the size of the areas to be treated, most laser rejuvenation patients require a series of three, 15–20 minute treatments, followed by seven to 14 days of limited sun exposure,” Daniel says. Fractionated CO2 and Erbium laser treatments range anywhere from $200–$1,500. • Tricholoracetic Acid (TCA) Chemical Peel – Much more aggressive than an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) chemical peel, a TCA chemical peel uses acetic acid to remove the outer layer of skin, or epidermis.
