At Cosmetic Plastic Surgery, we offer a complete skin care program. Our Skin Care Department has been developed to provide our patients with the best available treatment utilizing pharmaceutical grade skin care products containing exfoliants, as well as Retinol, bleaching agents, anti-aging active ingredients, moisturizers and broad-spectrum sunblocks. The products that are made specifically for Cosmetic Plastic Surgery have historically given the best results in rejuvenation of aging skin and treatment of sensitive skin types as well.
Our treatment consists of an evaluation by both a physician and a trained medical skin care specialist. A program is then designed and tailored to help you achieve lasting improvement in the way your skin looks, acts and feels. After the appropriate products are selected, the patient is educated on how to use them and in some instances this is combined with a medical microdermabrasion, chemical peel, skin rejuvenating mask or IPL (intense pulsed light) or laser treatment.
In addition, we offer a full line of pharmaceutical grade mineral make-up. It not only provides skin nurturing anti-oxidants and UV protection, but also provides your skin with radiant, flawless coverage in the season’s latest hues. Our skin care specialist is available to help you select the best colors for your skin tone and guide you in application techniques and camouflage. These cosmetics are non-comedogenic, contain no perfumes or chemical dyes, and are even suitable for sensitive skin types and conditions.
With the abundance of skin care products on the market today, we understand how confusing it can be for you to select products that work for your skin care needs. Therefore, Dr. Castillo offers complimentary skin care and cosmetic consultations with our medical skin care specialist to all patients.
Microdermabrasion, Chemical Peels and Medical Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive form of skin resurfacing (exfoliation) that removes the topmost layer of skin cells, leaving your skin supple, vibrant and refreshed.
Chemical peels are another form of exfoliation used to improve a number of skin imperfections. Chemical solutions are used to loosen dead skin cells creating a smoother, softer and more even skin tone. Chemical peels are available in many different strengths and formulations, allowing us to design a treatment program especially for your skin care needs.
For enhanced results, microdermabrasion can be immediately followed by a chemical peel and vitamin nutrient oxygen facial. This combination treatment is referred to as "medical microdermabrasion."
These treatments are very effective for those with mild to moderate sun damage, large pores, uneven skin texture, slight yellow skin discoloration, hyperpigmentation and fine lines. It is typically best to begin with a series of 6 treatments (depending on the severity); however, these may also be done as a stand-alone treatment. Each treatment is scheduled approximately 1-2 weeks apart to obtain maximum results. Many patients then choose to continue to schedule a single medical microdermabrasion treatment every few months as a “maintenance” program to assure a radiant, healthy looking skin. All of these treatments allow the patient to return back to work or normal daily activity immediately following these treatments. Patients can expect some pinkness or redness of the skin, which typically goes away within the hour. Cosmetics may be applied immediately following this treatment to cover any residual redness. A professional mineral base cosmetic is recommended. Please see Skin Rejuvenation, Ablative and Non-Ablative.
