Don’t let the names scare you. Chemical peels, dermabrasion, and laser rejuvenation are effective cosmetic treatments that can benefit the skin in many ways. Dr. Sterling is a nationally recognized expert and has extensive experience using all three modalities.

In general, chemical peels provide superior and long lasting wrinkle removal. Dermabrasion minimizes scars and softens etched in wrinkle lines.

Lasers are excellent at removing broken blood vessels and brown spots with minimal down time.

During your private consultation, Dr. Sterling will discuss with you which of these methods, or other treatments such as Wrinkle Fillers or Botox, will help you the most. Dr. Sterling will also discuss risks and benefits of each option. Please call 732-449-3005 to schedule an appointment. Our friendly staff is available to answer any of your questions.

Chemical Peel

A chemical peel is often the single best treatment to achieve complete facial rejuvenation.  Dr. Sterling is an expert in performing all types of peels.  Chemical peels reduce or even completely eliminate wrinkles, sun spots, age spots, and freckles. Once the peel heals, the skin looks healthier, cleaner, and more youthful.

Chemical peels have become very popular. Millions of peels are performed each year. Since the days of Cleopatra, chemical peels have been used to obtain more beautiful skin. Today, new techniques and technologies in peeling offer effective ways to rejuvenate the skin.

Dermabrasion

Dermabrasion is a procedure in which Dr. Sterling removes or “sands” the skin with a diamond-studded rotary instrument to improve its contour. Dermabrasion should not be confused with “micro-dermabrasion”, which is a superficial technique for minor skin refreshing. Dermabrasion is predominantly used to improve scars from acne, chicken pox, surgery and accidents. It can also be used to treat sun damage, wrinkling, and precancerous skin growths. The skin is completely numbed prior to dermabrasion.

Laser Rejuvenation

The use of lasers in dermatology has advanced rapidly over the years. Dr. Sterling uses three precision lasers (CO2, KTP and ND:Yag lasers) to remove the most common signs of age and sun damage from red and brown discoloration and wrinkles.

How do lasers work to rejuvenate the skin?

Laser rejuvenation works by precisely targeting the three major signs of aging:

Brown discolorations, also known as pigmented lesions (age spots, sun spots, etc.), are darker than the rest of the skin and absorb more laser energy than surrounding skin.

Red discolorations, also known as vascular lesions (small veins, rosacea, cherry angiomas, etc.), are overgrown or enlarged blood vessels. Preferentially heating vessel walls causes them to weaken and be absorbed by the body.

Wrinkles and skin laxity are caused by a gradual breakdown in collagen density and strength. Deep heating laser energy starts a regenerative process which lays down new healthy collagen.

Fees for Chemical Peel, Dermabrasion and Laser Rejuvenation
The fee typically ranges from $2,900 to $5,900 depending on the severity of sun damage, wrinkles and the patient’s individual skin characteristics.
