A new year offers the chance to think about your goals and prioritize the things that matter to you. For many people, enhancing the appearance of their skin is near the top of that list.
If skin rejuvenation is among your 2026 New Year’s resolutions, Christopher Smith, MD, and the team at Christos Doctors Inn Walk In Health Care in Lauderhill, Florida, offer a range of dermatology services and medical aesthetics treatments that can help refresh and renew your complexion.
Let’s explore three of the more common aesthetic treatment options and how they can help your skin look its very best this year.
If you’re hoping to achieve a refreshed complexion, a chemical peel is an outstanding option. Chemical peels are a type of exfoliation. While physical exfoliation uses abrasive materials to remove the outermost layers of dead skin and cell debris, peels use a carefully formulated chemical solution to achieve the same results.
Chemical peels are customizable, and there are options to suit virtually every set of needs. A lighter peel can brighten your complexion and soften your skin with minimal redness and peeling afterward.
A medium peel goes deeper, addressing issues like hyperpigmentation and acne scarring; you can expect a few days of redness, minor swelling, and peeling skin after treatment. Deep peels are also an option, but they require more downtime and create more extensive peeling and flaking as your skin recovers.
Few things lead to more dramatic improvements in your skin than laser therapy. Today’s treatment platforms use concentrated beams of light to trigger changes within your skin.
Ablative lasers work by vaporizing the outer layers of your skin to reveal a layer of fresh, healthy cells. Nonablative lasers work to trigger your body to create new collagen and elastin while also enhancing circulation in the area and managing inflammation.
Lasers are a wonderful way to give you a more youthful and refreshed appearance. There are several options to choose from, and some involve more recovery time than others. Our team can guide you toward the right approach for your skin goals.
If you’re looking for noticeable improvements in the look and feel of your skin without light therapy or chemicals, microneedling might be a good fit for you. This treatment uses a handheld wand covered in tiny, sterile treatment needles.
As your practitioner moves the device across the surface of your skin, the needles create tiny punctures into the deeper skin layers. Your body recognizes these miniscule channels as tiny injuries, and it rushes to launch a healing response.
New collagen and elastin develops, serving to plump your skin from within, and concentrations of pigment break apart and clear through your body’s lymphatic system. Microneedling also helps treat enlarged pores, acne and other forms of scarring, and roughly textured skin.
It takes time to see the results from microneedling, and most people achieve optimal results from a series of treatments spaced out over time.
