SKIN TIGHTENING

Skin tightening is one of the most popular procedures in the United States. Through the use of various creams and minimally-invasive procedures, we can help induce the body’s own mechanisms to tighten the skin. The methods range from the application of antioxidants on the skin to radiofrequency microneedling and lasers, such as the Spectra FX Laser. The effects usually do last a while, but requires maintenance over time as the skin continues to age gradually.

SCAR TREATMENT

Scars are not only cosmetically bothersome, but some may continuously grow and become itchy and red. Scar treatment is a complex art that may require a combination of topical creams, steroid injections, lasers, and minimally-invasive procedures such as microneedling and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections. We perform these procedures safely and with experience. We are proud to offer the newest in radiofrequency microneedling, which helps decrease scars, grow collagen, and tighten the overlying skin.

MELASMA, BLEMISHES, AND SUN SPOT TREATMENTS

There are various treatments for blemishes and sunspots. We offer in-office medical grade products and chemical peels that can help lighten brown discoloration. In addition, we have lasers that are safe to treat these conditions. As with most treatments, expect a series to see improvement. The type of treatment or treatments will depend on a variety of factors, including your native skin color, size, and depth of the lesion, as well as your general health. A medical consultation is required prior to treatment.

   I really cannot say enough about my experiences at Metropolis Dermatology. From the booking system to the office ambiance to the patient care - this is truly an amazing dermatology experience. I always see Dr. Shauna Higgins and each visit has truly been a top notch. Dr. Higgins is attentive, engaging, well-informed, and effective. I have recommended dozens of friends to her and they all have had similar experiences. So glad I found this place!
