Laser Skin Resurfacing

Laser therapy and microneedling can be used effectively together to produce optimal skin rejuvenation. Both procedures stimulate collagen production, and the results will be dramatic. Your dermatologist may recommend both treatments in the same appointment or staggering them. You will receive personalized recommendations based on your aesthetic goals and unique health history.

Regardless of whether you undergo laser skin treatments and microneedling at the same appointment or in two separate sessions, you can expect a remarkable transformation at Dallas Dermatology Partners.

How do laser therapy and microneedling work together?

By themselves, laser skin treatments and microneedling can help you enjoy younger-looking skin. You will notice improvements in texture, tone, and firmness.

For optimal results, many patients prefer to combine these treatments for skin rejuvenation. For example, if you combine the Moxi laser and the Genius RF Microneedling system, you will see a near-instantaneous improvement in the texture of your skin. These treatments work effectively together to stimulate new collagen production, tighten skin to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and a rapid reduction of areas of hyperpigmentation and skin damage. In contrast, having only a Genius treatment by itself may require a wait time of up to three months before you can see the full result.

In some cases, the dermatologist may recommend combining both treatments on the same day. Other patients may be best served by staggering the treatments. Discuss your goals and skin health history with the dermatologist to determine which treatment schedule works best for you.

First, however, your dermatologist will determine whether one or both treatments are appropriate for you. Microneedling and laser skin resurfacing complement each other effectively and safely.

How do laser skin treatments work?

Different laser skin resurfacing treatments include the Sciton Moxi laser, Halo laser, and BBL Hero laser. For example, the non-ablative Sciton Moxi laser is appropriate for patients with post-inflammatory pigmentation and works wonders for those interested in skin “prejuvenation.”

On the other hand, the BBL Hero laser is ideal for patients who desire minimal downtime. Your dermatologist will discuss your skin goals to determine which is right for you. Although each laser is a little different, they all work similarly; they deliver an intense beam of light energy to reveal the new skin underneath and stimulate collagen production.

Laser skin treatments can help you look younger and more vibrant by:

• Minimizing the appearance of lines and wrinkles
• Improving skin tone and texture
• Addressing photo-damage areas, such as sunspots
• Reducing other blemishes, such as acne scars

How does microneedling work?

Microneedling creates areas of micro-damage to trigger the skin’s natural healing and rejuvenation processes. It uses very tiny, sterile needles to prick the skin gently. This stimulates the production of collagen and elastin. As a result, the skin looks smoother and firmer. After a series of microneedling treatments, you can expect to see improvements in the following issues:

• Enlarged pores
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Loose, crepe-like skin
• Uneven skin tone
• Rough skin texture
• Discoloration
• Minor scars and stretch marks

Some patients may opt to undergo RF microneedling, which introduces radiofrequency energy and further stimulates collagen and elastin production.

Dallas Dermatology Partners is pleased to offer Genius RF Microneedling, which combines microneedling with fractional radiofrequency energy to create younger-looking skin. The smart handpiece of this system enables our dermatologists to adjust the RF penetration depth to each individual’s skin thickness and texture, delivering a fully customized treatment.

While you will notice some results immediately after receiving Genius RF treatments, it can take up to three months to see the full result. This is because it takes time for the body to produce new collagen.

Yes! Often, dermatology patients want to know if one treatment could help them achieve all their skincare goals. However, combining multiple types of treatments, such as Moxi and Genius RF Microneedling, can be beneficial because, together, they can correct a wide range of issues. Together, they are even more effective at rejuvenating and transforming the skin. To find out if Moxi and Genius Microneedling could work for you, contact Dallas Dermatology Partners to consult with an experienced clinician.

What is Moxi and what can it treat?

The Moxi laser treatment uses a controlled, fractional laser to rejuvenate the skin. This non-ablative laser can address many common signs of aging and create a more youthful-looking complexion. It’s also safe for all skin types and can be used as an anti-aging or a “prejuvenation” treatment (performed before the signs of aging are easily discernible).

The Moxi laser can address the following skin issues:

• Dull or uneven skin tone
• Mild scars, including acne scars
• Melasma
• Mild sun damage
• Poor skin texture, including large pores
• Fine lines and wrinkles

In addition, Moxi requires minimal downtime.

 

What is Genius Microneedling and what benefits does it offer?

Genius RF Microneedling is an effective anti-aging treatment. It uses needles to create micro-damage to the skin, which stimulates collagen and elastin production. In addition, it takes an innovative approach to the traditional microneedling treatment by introducing radiofrequency energy.

This treatment offers the following benefits:

• Minimize hyperpigmentation
• Reduction in the appearance of stretch marks
• Smoother, younger-looking skin
• Fine line and wrinkle reduction
• Skin tightening and firming
• Improvement in the appearance of acne scars
• Minimized appearance of pores
• Improvement of skin tone and texture

Like Moxi laser treatment, this treatment also offers minimal downtime.

Maximize your skincare results by combining treatments

Moxi laser treatment and Genius RF Microneedling can achieve remarkable results. Combined, they offer more comprehensive benefits because they target different layers of the skin. The Moxi laser targets the uppermost layers—the epidermis and the topmost part of the dermis. In contrast, Genius RF Microneedling works deeper within the skin—far into the dermis—offering effective contouring and tightening.

When these two treatments are combined, patients can look forward to comprehensive skin rejuvenation. Moxi and Genius can address a range of problems, from reduced collagen and poor skin texture and laxity to wrinkles and sun damage.
