Skin rejuvenation and resurfacing can be achieved in many different ways. Dr. Olga Zilberstein Medical Aesthetics offers different non-surgical treatments to help you improve skin quality, tone, and texture. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Olga Zilberstein to see how you can improve the appearance of your skin. 

What is skin rejuvenation? 

Skin rejuvenation is improving the quality and appearance of your skin. 

What happens to our skin as we age? 

As we age, we gradually lose collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. These are all factors that keep the skin looking plump and youthful. Starting in the mid-twenties, our collagen gradually declines by 1% per year. 

What can be improved? 

  • Fine lines 
  • Wrinkles
  • Acne 
  • Acne Scars
  • Surgical Scars
  • Hyper-Pigmentation
  • Sunspots 
  • Rosacea 
  • Loose Skin 
  • Crepey Skin 
  • Thin Skin

The following procedures can be combined to stimulate collagen production, and help the skin become more youthful and rejuvenated: 

Micro-Needling:

What is micro-needling?

Micro-needling is a treatment where tiny needles are driven into the skin creating micromechanical injury. This stimulates your body’s response to heal and stimulate collagen production. Micro-needling can be done on the face, neck, and body. We offer micro-needling in Brooklyn, NY, and Long Island, NY. 

What does micro-needling do? 

Micro-needling improves your skin’s tone and texture and reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars. The results can be enhanced using Exosomes, PRF, and Mesotherapy.

Exosomes:

What are Exosomes?

Exosomes are growth factors that come in the form of a serum clinically proven for skin rejuvenation and regeneration. They are applied during micro-needling and after radio frequency (RF) micro-needling and the tixel for optimal healing and restoration. They contain stem cells, potent growth factors, peptides, coenzymes, minerals, amino acids, and vitamins. Exosomes are hypoallergenic and paraben-free. We have Exosomes available in Brooklyn, NY, and Long Island, NY. 

What do Exosomes do for the skin?

Exosomes absorb quickly into the skin to:

  • Improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
  • Improve hyperpigmentation and sunspots
  • Brighten the skin
  • Deliver hydration
  • Reduce redness and skin irritation
  • Improve the appearance of skin lesions and scars, and texture
  • And reduce pore size.

PRF (Platelet Rich Fibrin):

What is PRF? 

Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) harnesses your body’s growth factors. We draw your blood and spin it in a centrifuge to separate the plasma from the rest of the blood content. PRF can be injected directly or micro-needled into the skin. When micro-needled into the skin, it is often referred to as a “vampire facial”. We have PRF injections and micro-needling available in Brooklyn, NY, and Long Island, NY. 

What does PRF do? 

  • Stimulates collagen production
  • Improves the structure of your skin
  • Minimizes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
  • Brightens the skin
  • Improves skin tone and texture
  • Reduces the appearance of dark undereye bags 

How often should you do PRF injections or PRF micro-needling? 

3-5 treatments are recommended, 4-6 weeks apart. 

Mesotherapy:

What is mesotherapy? 

Mesotherapy is a solution that delivers vitamins, peptides, and hyaluronic acid into the skin via injections or micro-needling. Skinvive by Juvederm has recently been FDA-approved. Skinvive is an injectable treatment that has a lasting 6-month glow and deeply hydrates and nourishes the skin. We offer Mesotherapy and Skinvive in Brooklyn, NY, and Long Island, NY. 

What does mesotherapy do? 

  • Produces collagen
  • Improves fine lines and wrinkles
  • Improves skin texture, elasticity, and firmness
  • Reduces hyperpigmentation
  • Brightens your skin and makes it look more rejuvenated and glowy.

Radio-Frequency (RF) Micro-Needling:

What is RF Micro-Needling?

RF Micro-Needling uses RF energy and needles to go deep within the skin layers to stimulate collagen, contract, and tighten the skin. We have RF Micro-Needling in Brooklyn, NY. 

What does RF Micro-Needling do and improve?

  • Improves skin elasticity
  • Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
  • Improves the appearance of stretch marks, surgical scars, and acne scars 
  • Improves rosacea 
  • Reduces hyperpigmentation
  • Improves skin tone and texture
  • Reduces the size of pores 
  • Improves crepey skin 
  • Tightens and lifts the skin 

How often should I do RF Micro-Needling?

3-5 treatments are recommended, 4-6 weeks apart. 

Tixel: 

What is the Tixel?

The Tixel uses thermal-mechanical action technology for superior skin resurfacing results. A titanium tip is heated up to 400 degrees Celsius and pulses to contact the skin briefly. High temperatures result in the stimulation of the production of new collagen and elastin. The tixel is often compared to CO2 laser resurfacing treatments, with much less downtime. We offer Tixel treatments in both our Brooklyn, NY, and Long Island, NY locations. 

What does the Tixel do? 

  • Improves fine lines and wrinkles
  • Reduces hyperpigmentation 
  • Improves crepey skin 
  • Treats acne
  • Leaves your skin looking rejuvenated

Skin Care:

Medical-grade skincare is a great tool to use to fight the process of aging.

  • Physical sunscreen (zinc oxide-based) prevents premature aging by preventing collagen destruction from the sun
  • Retinol is clinically proven to stimulate collagen and it prevents the formation of new wrinkles and treats existing ones. Retinol is also known to treat acne.
  • Vitamin C, Peptides, and Hyaluronic Acid all contribute to maintaining beautiful and luminous skin.

Bio-Stimulating Fillers:

What are bio-stimulatory fillers?

These are fillers specifically used for collagen stimulation. They are injected directly into the skin. They work by helping your skin produce its collagen and volume. These are fillers like Sculptra and hyper-dilute Radiesse. They improve tone and texture, restore lost volume, and make your skin look rejuvenated and glowy.
