Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Fine lines and wrinkles are often the earliest and most visible signs of aging. They can be dynamic, appearing with facial expressions and muscle movement, or static, remaining visible even at rest. These creases are caused by multiple factors, including environmental exposure (sun damage and gravity), lifestyle choices (smoking, stress, and diet), genetics, and more. Understanding the type and cause of your fine lines and wrinkles is essential for determining the most effective treatments.

Crepey Skin
Skin that is thin with multiple delicate wrinkles similar in appearance to crepe paper tends to develop on areas of the body that receive the most sunlight. This condition is caused by decreased collagen and elastin production, which are affected by aging, genetics, environmental and lifestyle factors.

Skin Laxity
Sagging skin occurs when there is a decrease in collagen and elastin, which maintain the integrity of the skin’s structure and contribute to its smooth appearance. Sun exposure, gravity, weight fluctuations, and natural aging can all contribute to the development of skin laxity.
Affected Areas
Face, under eyes, neck, abdomen, legs, knees, arms, and other areas.
Treatment Options
- Pixel8 Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling
- Laser skin resurfacing
- Microneedling (with or without PRP)

Facial Volume Loss
Collagen, elastin, hyaluronic acid, and fat deposits all contribute to the smooth plumpness that is characteristic of beautiful skin. The natural aging process reduces these vital components of youthful skin, as do genetics, smoking, sun exposure, and other lifestyle and environmental factors.
Affected Areas
Temples, eyelids, under eyes, cheeks, jawline, lips, chin, and other areas.
Treatment Options
- Dermal fillers
- Sculptra®
- PRP Injections
- Fat transfer
- Surgical solutions at Designer Plastic Surgery
Acne Scarring
Acne scars, which develop after a breakout has healed, can alter your skin’s texture, resulting in either pitted or raised areas. The extent of scarring is influenced by both your genetics and the severity of the breakout. Treatments are available to address pigmentation concerns and promote cellular regeneration, helping to restore and smooth your complexion.
Affected Areas
Cheeks, forehead, nose, jawline, chin, neck, chest, back, upper arms, and other areas.
Treatment Options
- Hydrafacial® with SkinStylus
- Microneedling (with or without PRP)
- Chemical peels
- Laser skin resurfacing
- Pixel8 Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling
- Dermal fillers for pitted scars
Pigmentation
Dyspigmentation, hyperpigmentation, and hypopigmentation can all contribute to a patchy, uneven skin tone. Pigmentation issues are related to dysfunction with melanin production, which can be related to aging, sun exposure, hormones, and skin trauma. Pigmentation can manifest as sun spots, brown spots, redness, or an irregular skin texture.
Affected Areas
Anywhere, but especially cheeks, forehead, chin, jaw, chest, back, arms, legs.
Treatment Options
- Chemical peels
- Laser skin resurfacing
- Hydrafacial® with boosters
- IPL photofacial
- Microneedling (with PRP)
- Pixel8 Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling

Sun Damage
UV rays damage the skin on a cellular level, resulting in various skin concerns: wrinkles, sun spots, leathery skin texture, uneven pigmentation, and redness. Sun exposure, no matter the weather (as UV rays can penetrate clouds), can result in aggressive aging. Sun protection is essential, but if the damage has already been done, there are treatments that can diminish or reverse the effects of sun damage.
Affected Areas
Anywhere sun exposure takes place, typically the face, neck, chest, hands, arms, legs, back.
Treatment Options
- Chemical peels
- Laser skin resurfacing
- IPL photofacial
- Pixel8 Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling

Double Chin
Individuals of any weight can struggle with the accumulation of fat along the jaw and under the chin. How fat is distributed in the body is often attributed to genetics, and submental fat is frequently resistant to diet and exercise.

Treatment Options
- Microneedling
- Pixel8 Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling
- Kybella®
- Surgical Solutions at Designer Plastic Surgery
Hair Removal and Reduction
Unwanted hair, especially in certain areas, frustrates many people beginning in puberty. Hormone imbalances, ethnic backgrounds, and genetics can contribute to thick, dark, and persistent hair growth.
Affected Areas
Face, legs, arms, bikini area, chest, back, underarms, buttocks, and other areas.
Treatment Options
Hyperhidrosis (Excessive Sweating)
Unwanted sweating, especially in sensitive areas such as the axilla, palms, and feet is often frustrating and embarrassing. Hormone imbalances, ethnic backgrounds, and genetics can contribute to these hard to manage symptoms.
Affected Areas
Armpits, bikini area, chest, hands, and feet.
Treatment Options
- Selective BOTOX® Injections
Cellulite Treatment
Dimpled, uneven skin texture is the mark of cellulite. The primary cause of cellulite are fibrous septae, little fibers that anchor the skin to the deeper structures of the body. These septa bands create those telltale dimples. Pseudo-cellulite also exists and is a byproduct of the natural aging process and degeneration of connective tissue.
Affected Areas
Buttocks, thighs, hips, stomach.
Treatment Options
- Avéli™ Cellulite Treatment
- Pixel8 Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling
- Microneedling (with PRP)
- Laser skin resurfacing
Varicose Veins & Spider Veins
Tiny capillaries near the skin’s surface can be easily damaged, resulting in redness, streaking, or a blotchy appearance. Spider veins can look like spider webs or tree branches and are often red or purple in appearance. Varicose veins are swollen, twisted, or otherwise enlarged veins, not always discolored, and can lead to future health problems.
Affected Areas
Face, chest, arms, legs, behind the knees.
Treatment Options
- Sclerotherapy
- Long-Pulsed Nd:YAG laser treatment for vascular reduction
Stretch Marks
Rapid skin expansion can often lead to stretch marks, which are common during pregnancy and weight gain, as well as fast-growth areas like the knees, elbows, and back. Stretch marks can be reddish-purple when they’re new, then fade somewhat to a lighter color. Their severity and visibility are often determined by genetics.
Affected Areas
Stomach, hips, thighs, lower back, breasts.
Treatment Options
- Laser skin resurfacing
- Microneedling (with PRP)
- Surgical Solutions at Designer Plastic Surgery
Hypertrophic Scars
A hypertrophic scar is a thick, raised scar. This abnormal wound-healing response involves excess production of collagen and connective tissue in the injured area. Hypertrophic scars develop over the course of one to two months and may become less apparent over time.
Treatment Options
- Laser skin resurfacing
- Pixel8 Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling
- Corticosteroid injections
- Chemical peels
- PRP therapy
Keloid Scars
Unlike hypertrophic scars, keloid scars can extend beyond the original wound area, sometimes growing to be quite large. They can be darker in color and may develop months to years after injury. They do not go away on their own without treatment.
Treatment Options
- Laser skin resurfacing
- PRP therapy
- Corticosteroid injections
- Surgical solutions at Designer Plastic Surgery
