Corrective Skin Peels
Medical Strength Peels
At Lase By The Sea we are able to perform a variety of chemical peels from superficial to deep. The deeper the peel the greater the results and the longer the recover period. The type of peels performed include Lactic, Retinol, Glycolic, Deep Sea and TCA Peels.
Skin Needling
Skin needling is a medical device used in micro-needling to break down old scare tissue and to stimulate skin cells to proliferate. This cell multiplication results in the formation of new tissue layers of elastic collagen fibres (neo-collagenesis) as well as in new cappilaries for an improved blood supply (neo-angiogenesis) The procedures are called Scar Reduction Therapy and Collagen Induction Therapy.
What is a Dermaroller?
The Dermaroller is a cylindrical shaped drum stud with very fine needles. It is a medical device used in micro needling to stimulate skin cell proliferation. This cell multiplication results in the formation of new tissue layers of elastin and collagen fibres (neo-collagenesis) as well as in new capillaries for an improved blood supply (neo-angionesis). This procedure is called Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT).
What is the difference to other skin rejuvenation techniques?
In contrast to all ablative techniques like Lasers and Fractional Laser treatments, the Dermaroller stimulates new tissue formation – it acts constructively and the skin remains intact. The skin does not get damaged (unlike other needling devices) and therefore will not go into a wound healing response. The Dermaroller significantly improves atrophic scars & improves skin texture.
What effects does the Dermaroller have on the skin?
It improves the thickness of the dermis as well as the epidermis. This in return improves skin texture and reduces wrinkles. It also has a positive effect on hyper-pigmentation as well as on hypo-pigmentation. Reduces disfiguring scars & acne scars, stimulates new collagen fibres, improves blood supply and harmonises pigmentation.
How is the procedure performed & does it hurt?
The skin is cleaned and afterwards numbed with an appropriate numbing cream so it should not hurt at all. Skin is thoroughly needled in such a way, that each skin part is needled about 15 to 20 times. An even flushing is the best indication for a perfect medical performance.
Can it be performed on any skin colour?
Since Dermaroller does not use thermal heat (unlike IPL & Lasers) it is safe to use on all skin types and all skin colours. There is no risk of post-inflammatory hyper-pigmentation.
