The Skin Institute and Laser Center at Savannah Plastic Surgery is home to licensed medical skincare specialists who can help you bring out the best in your skin.

The skin is the largest organ of the body, and it’s constantly exposed to the elements and daily irritation and damage from pollution and household chemicals, the sun, and other sources. Proper care is essential in order to protect both the health of your skin and its appearance.

What Aesthetic Services Are Available?

At the Skin Institute and Laser Center, we offer a range of skincare treatments, laser treatments, and radiofrequency treatments designed to enhance, beautify, and protect your skin. Our service range includes:

Dermaplaning

Treatment: Gentle exfoliation removes dead skin cells, peach fuzz, and other debris from the surface of the skin. Dermaplaning can also reduce fine lines and acne scarring. This is a comfortable, pain-free treatment with few side effects and little downtime.

Results: Smoother skin and a more even skin tone and texture, with less of the debris that clogs pores. Skincare products become more effective after dermaplaning, and it’s possible to achieve a smoother, more even makeup application.

The results of dermaplaning last around one month.

Microdermabrasion

Treatment: Mild skin exfoliation is performed with an exfoliating tool that gently removes the outermost layer of skin. This is a gentle treatment that’s suitable for people with sensitive skin who can’t tolerate chemical peels or laser resurfacing. Microdermabrasion treatment causes some redness that subsides after one to two days.

Results: Microdermabrasion can reduce:

• Fine lines
• Wrinkles
• Sun damage
• Acne scars

And improve skin texture to make skin softer, smoother, and younger-looking. It’s important to maintain good skincare habits after treatment and protect your skin from the sun to maintain your results.

Chemical Peels

Treatment: This treatment uses a precise blend of chemical ingredients to stimulate a controlled exfoliation process. Chemical peels can be customized by altering the ingredient blend to suit your individual needs and treatment goals. After treatment the skin will peel and flake as part of the exfoliation process. This can also cause skin dryness and sensitivity, with temporary redness, tenderness, or itching.

Results: Initial results can be seen as the skin heals, but it can take up to three months to see the full results. This treatment can:

• Improve fine lines and wrinkles
• Reduce sun damage
• Complete pigmentation correction
• Improve acne scarring
• Even out skin texture

Some people may need multiple treatments to achieve their treatment goals or have regular treatments to maintain their results.

Injectables

Treatment: Injectables include BOTOX®, Dysport®, and other neuromodulators that target the cause of facial wrinkling. Injectables work to relax the muscles at the treatment site, which has the effect of smoothing out facial wrinkles.

Results: Neuromodulator injectables may cause some minor redness or swelling that lasts a few days, but no downtime is needed. Results can be seen around one week after treatment. Depending on the individual and the treatment area, this may mean wrinkles are reduced or even eliminated altogether.

Treatment results are clinically proven to last three to four months and can be extended with further treatments.

Fillers

Treatment: Dermal fillers are injectable treatments that are formulated to add natural-looking volume to the skin to counter age-related volume loss. These treatments are injected into the skin to smooth out fine lines and some wrinkles, enhancing and restoring a more youthful appearance to the face. The dermal fillers we use include:

• Juvéderm®
• Restylane®
• Sculptra®
• Radiesse®
• Versa®
• And more

Results: These treatments may cause minor swelling, redness, and bruising at injection sites, which typically last only a few days. Initial treatment results, including plumper, more youthful-looking skin, are noticeable almost instantly. Depending on the products used, the results can last from several months to a few years and can be extended as needed with further treatments.

Facials

Treatment: Skin Institute and Laser Center facials are geared towards improving and correcting the skin. Facials also help maintain other procedures. Our skin experts will guide and recommend to you what is necessary for your skin concerns.

Results: Facial results depend on the specific treatment. They can include:

• Cleaning and purifying the skin
• Moisturizing and protecting the skin
• Reducing acne
• Acting as acne scar treatment
• Skin rejuvenation
• Reducing visible signs of aging, including fine lines

Results last from a few weeks to months. Many patients choose to have regular facials to maintain their results.

Microneedling

Treatment: This aesthetic service uses the body’s own natural healing ability to rejuvenate and refresh the skin. In the microneedling treatment, a tool with several tiny needles is applied to the skin. The needles puncture the skin with minute wounds, which trigger the body’s healing response and stimulate collagen production. A topical anesthetic is applied to the skin before treatment to minimize discomfort.

Results: After treatment it’s common to have some redness and swelling, with light bleeding or scabbing for a day or two. Most people see some results within a few weeks, but it takes up to three months to see the full results of treatment, which include:

• Reduction in fine lines and wrinkles
• Improvements in skin tone and texture
• Reduced appearance of scars, including acne scarring

Results are long-lasting and can be extended with further treatments.

Permanent Makeup

Treatment: If you like the look of makeup but not having to constantly reapply it, permanent makeup may be the solution. Permanent makeup treatments apply color to the skin permanently, with a technique similar to tattooing. Common treatment areas include the lips and eye area. A topical anesthetic is applied at the start of the treatment session to minimize discomfort.

Results: Most people have some swelling and redness in the treatment area for a few days. There may also be some light scabbing, with full healing completed in one to two weeks. It’s common for colors to fluctuate as the skin heals, and it may take up to a month to see the final results.

Permanent makeup can last for several years, with results depending on skin type, skincare habits, and other factors.

Microblading

Treatment: This aesthetic service is a form of permanent makeup that enhances the eyebrows. The microblading tool applies tiny, thin cuts to mimic the appearance of brow hair and leaves behind pigment that is specially formulated to the exact shade required. To minimize discomfort, a topical anesthetic is applied at the start of the treatment session.

Results: After treatment it’s common to have some swelling and redness around the brow area, and there may be light scabbing as the skin heals. Healing should be complete after about a week. The exact result depends on your own goal for treatment, but, in general, you’ll have fuller, thicker brows, with no need to apply makeup every day.

Results last up to 1 year.

Waxing

Treatment: Removing unwanted hair can feel like a never-ending battle, but waxing is a simple aesthetic service that gives you long-lasting results. Because waxing removes the entire follicle, it takes much longer for the hair to grow back, as compared to shaving. Waxing is suitable for the:

• Brows
• Arms and armpits
• Back
• Legs
• Bikini line

Waxing can be temporarily uncomfortable, but a skilled professional can complete the treatment within minutes, and it’s tolerable for most people.

Results: Apart from some minor skin sensitivity, there are no side effects or downtime after waxing. The results are immediate and last around four to six weeks, depending on your hair type and growth rate.

Skincare Products

Treatment: No skincare routine is complete without a complete set of skincare products for use at home. We’ll help you find the products that work for your skin type and address your unique skin care needs.

We offer products from:

• ZO® Skin Health
• Obagi®
• SkinMedica®
• Colorescience®
• Revision Skincare®
• EltaMD®
• And more

Results: Using the right skincare products can improve your skin’s tone and texture and help you maintain the results of any other treatments you have at the Skin Institute and Laser Center.
