Medium Depth Chemical Peels

Dermatology of Virginia
Phone: (703) 828-7128

General Information:
Medium depth chemical peels are an effective skincare treatment designed to penetrate deeper into the skin compared to superficial peels. They are ideal for addressing more pronounced skin issues such as moderate sun damage, deeper wrinkles, and significant pigmentation irregularities. At Dermatology of Virginia, our medium depth peels are carefully tailored to each patient’s skin type and concerns, offering a rejuvenated and more youthful complexion.

How Do Medium Depth Chemical Peels Work? Medium depth peels typically use trichloroacetic acid (TCA) or a combination of acids to reach the middle layers of the skin. This level of penetration encourages the shedding of damaged skin cells, promoting the regeneration of new skin. The process not only improves the skin’s appearance but also stimulates collagen production, enhancing skin elasticity and firmness.

Common Conditions Treated with Medium Depth Peels:

Moderate to severe sun damage
Deeper wrinkles and fine lines
Acne scars
Hyperpigmentation and age spots
Uneven skin texture and tone

What to Expect During Your Chemical Peel Treatment:

Consultation: Our skincare experts will conduct a thorough assessment to determine if a medium depth peel is suitable for your skin concerns and goals.
Procedure: The peel solution is applied to the skin for a specific duration to ensure optimal penetration. You may experience a tingling or warming sensation during the application.
Recovery: Medium depth peels have a longer recovery period compared to superficial peels, often ranging from 5 to 7 days. The skin will initially turn red and may swell, followed by peeling and flaking as the new skin emerges.

Post-Treatment Care: After the peel, it’s crucial to follow a specific skincare regimen to support healing. This includes avoiding sun exposure, using gentle skincare products, and applying sunscreen daily. Our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure the best possible results.

Benefits of Medium Depth Chemical Peels:

Superficial Chemical Peels

Dermatology of Virginia
Phone: (703) 828-7128

General Information:
Superficial chemical peels, also known as light or mild peels, are a non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment. They gently exfoliate the outermost layer of the skin, revealing a smoother, brighter, and more even-toned complexion underneath. At Dermatology of Virginia, we offer customized superficial chemical peel treatments tailored to address various skin concerns, including fine lines, mild discolorations, acne, and texture irregularities.

How Do Superficial Chemical Peels Work? Superficial chemical peels use mild acids like alpha-hydroxy acids (AHA) or beta-hydroxy acids (BHA) to exfoliate the skin gently. Unlike deeper peels, they target only the outer layer of the skin (epidermis), causing it to peel off and stimulate the growth of new, healthier skin cells. This process improves the appearance of the skin, making it look fresher and more rejuvenated.

Common Conditions Treated with Superficial Peels:

Fine lines and wrinkles
Uneven skin tone and texture
Mild sun damage and freckles
Acne and acne scars
Hyperpigmentation and melasma

What to Expect During Your Chemical Peel Treatment:

Consultation: Our skincare specialists will evaluate your skin type and concerns to determine the most suitable peel formulation for you.
Procedure: The peel solution is applied to the skin and left on for a predetermined amount of time before being neutralized and removed.
Recovery: Superficial peels have minimal downtime. You may experience mild redness or flaking for a few days post-treatment. Most patients can return to their normal activities immediately.

Post-Treatment Care: After a superficial chemical peel, it’s important to protect the new skin. Avoid direct sunlight and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen every day. Our team will recommend appropriate post-peel skincare products to enhance and maintain your results.

Benefits of Superficial Chemical Peels:

Minimal downtime
Suitable for all skin types
Improves skin texture and tone
Enhances skin radiance
Can be performed regularly for sustained results

Botox Treatments

Dermatology of Virginia
Phone: (703) 828-7128

General Information:
Botox is a minimally invasive treatment widely recognized for its effectiveness in reducing the appearance of facial wrinkles and fine lines. It is a purified form of botulinum toxin that temporarily relaxes facial muscles, resulting in smoother, more youthful-looking skin. At Dermatology of Virginia, our skilled professionals provide Botox treatments tailored to each patient’s individual needs and aesthetic goals.

How Does Botox Work? Botox works by blocking nerve signals in the muscles where it is injected. When those nerve signals are interrupted, the affected muscle is temporarily paralyzed or weakened. This reduction in muscle activity helps to diminish the appearance of wrinkles and can prevent new ones from forming. Botox is most effective on wrinkles that haven’t quite set in and reduces the onset of wrinkles by preventing the contraction of the underlying muscles.

Common Treatment Areas:

Forehead lines
Crow’s feet (lines around the eyes)
Frown lines between the eyebrows
Lines around the mouth

What to Expect During Your Botox Treatment:

Consultation: Our specialists will discuss your aesthetic goals and examine your facial structure to determine the most effective treatment plan.
Procedure: The Botox injection process is quick and requires no anesthesia. A fine needle is used to inject small amounts of Botox into specific muscles.
Duration and Frequency: The entire procedure takes approximately 10 minutes. Results typically last 3 to 6 months, and follow-up treatments can be scheduled to maintain results.

Post-Treatment Care and Recovery: Botox treatments require minimal recovery time, allowing you to resume normal activities immediately. Some patients experience minor bruising or swelling at the injection site, but this is temporary and typically resolves within a few days. Avoid rubbing or massaging the treated areas for 24 hours to prevent spreading the toxin to other areas.

Red/Brown Spot Removal with Laser Treatment

Dermatology of Virginia
Phone: (703) 828-7128

General Information:
Red and brown spots on the skin, often resulting from sun exposure, aging, or skin conditions, can be effectively treated with laser therapy. At Dermatology of Virginia, we specialize in laser treatments that target these spots, offering a safe and effective solution for restoring a more uniform skin tone.

Laser Treatment for Red/Brown Spot Removal: Our state-of-the-art laser technology is designed to specifically target red and brown pigmentation in the skin. The laser emits a focused beam of light that is absorbed by the pigmentation in the spots. This light energy is converted to heat, which breaks down the pigment, causing the spots to fade and eventually disappear. This method is efficient and safe for various skin types and tones.

What to Expect During Laser Treatment:

Consultation: We begin with a detailed consultation to assess your skin condition and discuss the expected outcomes of the treatment.
Procedure: During the procedure, you’ll wear special eye protection. The laser device will be adjusted according to your specific needs and passed over the targeted areas.
Post-Treatment Care: You may experience some redness and sensitivity immediately following the treatment, similar to a mild sunburn. These symptoms are usually temporary and subside within a few days.
Recovery: Recovery time varies depending on the intensity of the treatment. Most patients can resume their normal activities immediately, although we recommend avoiding direct sun exposure and using sunscreen to protect the treated areas.

Benefits of Laser Treatment:

Minimally invasive
Little to no downtime
Quick and convenient sessions
Long-lasting results

Personalized Care: At Dermatology of Virginia, we understand that each patient’s skin is unique. We provide personalized care and tailor our laser treatments to meet your individual needs, ensuring optimal results.

Laser Hair Removal

General Information: Laser hair removal is a popular and effective method for long-term hair reduction. It’s a safe procedure suitable for various parts of the body, including the face, arms, legs, underarms, and bikini area. The treatment involves the use of concentrated light beams (lasers), which are targeted at hair follicles. The pigment in the follicles absorbs the light, which destroys the hair. This process can significantly reduce hair growth, often leading to permanent hair reduction after several sessions.

How Does Laser Hair Removal Work? During laser hair removal, a laser emits a light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair. This light energy is converted to heat, which damages the hair follicles that produce hairs. This damage inhibits or delays future hair growth. Although laser hair removal effectively delays hair growth for long periods, it usually doesn’t result in permanent hair removal. Multiple laser hair removal treatments are needed for initial hair removal, and maintenance treatments might be needed as well.

What to Expect During and After the Treatment? Laser hair removal typically requires a series of two to six treatments. The interval between treatments will vary depending on the location. On areas where hair grows quickly, such as the upper lip, the treatment might be repeated in four to eight weeks. On areas of slow hair growth, such as the back, the treatment might be every 12 to 16 weeks. For each treatment you’ll wear special goggles to protect your eyes from the laser beam. An assistant might shave the site again if necessary. The doctor might apply a topical anesthetic to your skin to reduce any discomfort during treatment.

Is Laser Hair Removal Right for You? Laser hair removal is most effective for people who have light skin and dark hair, but it can be successfully used on all skin types. Recent advancements in technology have made laser hair removal an option for people who have darker skin. Laser hair removal isn’t generally effective for white, gray, red or blond hair — although treatment options for lighter hair continue to be investigated.

Our Expertise: Our dermatologists at Dermatology of Virginia are experienced in laser hair removal and use state-of-the-art technology to ensure safe, effective treatments. We’ll work with you to create a personalized treatment plan, taking into account your hair and skin type, as well as your hair removal goals. Call 703-828-7128 today to get started.
