As the leaves change and the air cools, it’s the perfect time to rejuvenate your skin after a long summer. Fall is ideal for skincare treatments that can help you achieve a radiant, refreshed complexion. Yelena at Triangle Facial Plastic Surgery is here to share her top pics for rejuvenating skincare treatments to consider this season:

1. Tetra CoolPeel CO2 Laser

The Tetra CoolPeel CO2 laser is a game-changer for those looking to minimize fine lines, wrinkles, and sun damage. This minimally-invasive treatment uses controlled energy to target the outer layer of skin, stimulating collagen production with less downtime compared to traditional lasers. It’s perfect for achieving smoother, healthier skin just in time for the holiday season!

2. Halo Laser

Combining ablative and non-ablative technology, the Halo laser is designed for maximum results with minimal recovery time. It effectively treats issues like uneven tone, texture, and pigmentation. This treatment is suitable for all skin types, making it a versatile option as we transition into cooler weather.

3. BBL Photofacial

If you’re looking to combat sun damage and hyperpigmentation, the BBL (BroadBand Light) photofacial is a fantastic option. This treatment uses advanced light therapy to target redness, age spots, and overall skin tone. As we say goodbye to summer, it’s an excellent time to refresh your skin’s appearance and restore its natural glow.

4. Morpheus8

For those seeking a non-surgical facelift, Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to tighten and lift the skin. This treatment stimulates collagen production deep within the skin, leading to firmer, more youthful-looking skin. Fall is the perfect season to start this treatment and enjoy the results for the upcoming festivities.

5. Microneedling

Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that promotes skin renewal and improves texture. By creating tiny micro-injuries in the skin, it encourages collagen and elastin production. This treatment is great for addressing scars, wrinkles, and large pores, making it a must-try for anyone looking to rejuvenate their skin. Add on PRP to your treatment to maximize your results!

Embrace Fall with a Fresh Glow

As you prepare for the cozy months ahead, consider incorporating one or more of these rejuvenating treatments into your skincare routine. Contact us to schedule your complimentary consultation with Yelena to find the best options tailored to your needs. Your skin deserves a little extra love this fall—let’s make it glow!

The CoolPeel vs. Chemical Peel: Understanding the Difference

Post author By tfpsadmin
Post date August 8, 2023

When it comes to rejuvenating your skin and achieving that youthful glow, there are numerous options available. Two popular treatments for treating sun damage and improving overall skin textures are the “CoolPeel” and the traditional “chemical peel.” Yelena at Triangle Facial Plastic Surgery is here to explore the key differences between these two skincare procedures.

Technology and Approach

CoolPeel: The CoolPeel is an advanced CO2 laser treatment that uses cutting-edge technology to target the outermost layer of the skin. It delivers controlled bursts of energy to stimulate collagen production and promote skin regeneration. Unlike traditional lasers, the CoolPeel leaves the surrounding skin undamaged by utilizing a fractional technique.

Chemical Peel: On the other hand, a chemical peel involves the application of a chemical solution to the skin, typically composed of alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), or trichloroacetic acid (TCA). The solution exfoliates the skin’s top layer, causing it to peel off, revealing smoother, more youthful skin underneath.

Downtime and Recovery

CoolPeel: One of the major advantages of the CoolPeel is minimal downtime. Since it precisely targets the outer layer of the skin, the recovery period is relatively short compared to other laser skin resurfacing treatments. Patients may experience some redness and mild peeling, which usually resolves within a few days as healthy glowing skin is revealed.

Chemical Peel: Depending on the depth of the peel, recovery time can vary. Superficial peels (such as Pomegranate Peel, Blueberry Smoothie Peel) may have a shorter recovery period, but medium to deep peels (such as ViPeel and Timeless Peel) might require more downtime as the skin heals and peels off.

Skin Concerns Addressed

CoolPeel: The CoolPeel is an excellent option for treating fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, acne scars, stretch marks and overall skin texture. It stimulates collagen production and helps to improve skin tone and firmness.

Chemical Peel: Chemical peels are effective in addressing various skin concerns, including acne scars, uneven pigmentation, and mild to moderate wrinkles. They can also help to unclog pores and reduce the appearance of age spots.

Number of Treatments Needed

CoolPeel: Depending on individual needs and desired results, multiple CoolPeel sessions may be recommended. However, dramatic improvements can often be seen after just one treatment.

Chemical Peel: The number of chemical peel sessions required depends on the depth of the peel and the specific skin concerns being addressed. Some patients may achieve their desired results with a single peel, while others may need a series of treatments.

In conclusion, both the CoolPeel and the Chemical Peel are effective treatments for achieving smoother, more youthful skin. The choice between the two will depend on individual skin concerns, desired downtime, and treatment goals.

Maximize Your Wedding Day Glow With These Tips

Post author By tfpsadmin
Post date April 14, 2022

Glowing wedding day skin is on every bride’s wish list, and it’s absolutely attainable with proper planning and guidance. Our team of highly experienced anti-aging experts at Triangle Facial Plastic Surgery in Raleigh is here to share some tips to boost and maximize your glow so you can feel your very best on your special day!

If you haven’t already established a consistent daily skincare routine, NOW is the time! Your daily skincare routine should include:
- Gentle cleanser in the morning, evening and after exercise.
- Moisturizer application to keep your skin hydrated and smooth.
- Vitamin C + retinol products for anti-aging. Vitamin C brightens the skin, evens skin tone and protects the skin from environmental stressors that can come during the day. Retinol (aka Vitamin A) firms and tightens the skin. Both products can be used together, but they should not be applied at the same time – apply Vitamin C in the morning and Retinol in the evening.
- Sunscreen application to your face and neck (YES, even if it’s cloudy out) and reapply after prolonged periods out in the sun.
Exfoliate with a gentle exfoliation product 1-3 times each week (depending on your skin type). ZO SKIN HEALTH® Exfoliating Polish is an amazing, gentle polish that delivers an insta-glow and amazingly smooth skin!
Consider additional skincare products to address specific concerns, such as acne, redness, spots and pigmentation. The best way to determine the best products to improve your skin condition is to consult with a licensed medical esthetician.
Hydrate from within! You should consume plenty of water each day. A good rule of thumb is to drink 0.5-1.0 ounces of water for each pound you weigh.
Schedule monthly facials to refresh and hydrate your skin, unclog pores, and improve the appearance of specific skin concerns. HydraFacial gives you glowing, firm and more youthful looking skin in just 30 minutes! And there are a variety of booster options to address your specific concerns, whether it be hyperpigmentation, acne, redness, wrinkles, etc.
Erase forehead wrinkles, glabellar lines (aka the dreaded 11’s) and crows feet around the eyes with a neurotoxin treatment 1-2 months before the big day.
If you’re looking to soften & contour your facial profile, and add volume to the areas including the cheeks, chin, jawline and lips, you may consider non-surgical filler treatments. Filler treatments should be done several months in advance to ensure satisfactory results. Definitely plan ahead!
If you are looking for more dramatic results to improve the appearance of aging and problematic skin vs. skincare products and facials alone, you may consider laser and IPL (intense pulse light) treatments. They are more intensive treatments, and when combined, they are even MORE powerful! These treatments should also be scheduled several months in advance to make time for multiple treatments if needed to achieve the desired results.
- CoolPeel CO2 laser treatments deliver a total skin rejuvenation with little downtime. CoolPeel treatments dramatically reduce fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, acne scars, minimize pore size and improve dullness and skin texture in 1-3 appointments (typically scheduled a month apart).
- BBL Hero treatments penetrate into the deeper layers of skin and deliver remarkably clear and refreshed skin. BBL Hero is great for addressing hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone, acne, inflammation and redness. It also helps to remove unwanted dark colored hair.

Contact us to schedule your complimentary skincare consultation with Yelena, our licensed medical esthetician, and she will assess your skin, discuss your goals and timeline to create a customized treatment plan for you!
