How Much Sun Damage Do You Have?

Do you know how much sun damage you have actually accrued over the years?  It is most likely more than you think.

At our Orlando Plastic Surgery and Skincare Center we use The Reveal Imaging system to “reveal” the extent of your damage in only seconds.  This is quite helpful, because even if you see a relatively even complexion with only a few freckles or discolorations when looking in the mirror, there may be significant damage lurking below the surface that will become visible as you age.  

The Reveal Imager uses RBX imaging technology and is as simple as taking your photo. The Reveal device creates a high-resolution image to examine your subsurface melanin and vascular features. 

You may be asking yourself, “Why would I want to see all this damage?”  Having a skincare consultation that includes a Reveal Imaging photo allows our Paramedical Aesthetician or Nurse Practitioner to determine the appropriate treatment and products that will best correct the damaged areas. For example, when only minimal damage is visible to the naked eye I might only recommend a home care regimen including a Retin-A type product and monthly chemical peels to reverse and minimize the signs of aging.

However, if the Reveal shows that your damage below the surface is extensive, though not yet visible, we may want to consider more intensive treatments such as a series of VI Peels or MiXto laser resurfacing.  What the Reveal Imager shows will provide us with the knowledge to determine how to most effectively and efficiently treat your skin.  

Take a look at the video below and see how Reveal is used to document the progress of skin care treatments, providing clients with an extra level of assurance that their skin conditions are in fact improving.
