Whether it’s wrinkles and sagging or acne scarring and texture, everyone has a reason to want more radiant skin. You probably look up to celebrities, lauded for their perfect complexions, assuming the only way to get these results is via surgical methods. Luckily, you couldn’t be more wrong! Younger, clearer skin is just a spa day away. 

Xanadu Med Spa is here to give the inside scoop on a variety of skin resurfacing options they recommend and offer within a relaxing spa oasis. A type of skin rejuvenation, skin resurfacing revives skin by accelerating the natural desquamation process, or the removal of skin cell build-up and other surface debris. Many methods can achieve this, from exfoliating techniques to chemical peels and more. Take a look: 

Microdermabrasion 

Microdermabrasion treatments utilize micro-crystals to exfoliate away dead, dry skin cells for a healthier-looking complexion. It’s also the strongest way to combat discoloration when combined with a chemical peel. 

Benefits:

• Brightens skin.
• Cleans out pores.
• Refreshes skin.
• Reduces hyperpigmentation. 

Hydradermabrasion

Hydradermabrasion is similar to microdermabrasion as they both use a rough tip to break up the skin and a vacuum to sweep away debris. With this one, a skincare solution is applied during the process as well. 

Benefits:

• Increased serum absorption.
• Minimizes discoloration.
• Reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. 

Dermaplanning

This exfoliation method gets rid of dulling cells atop the skin’s surface using a 10-gauge scalpel. And before you run out of the spa and for the hills, know it’s actually not scary at all with an experienced provider. In fact, it’s a favorite of many actresses and models for camera-ready results. 

Benefits:

• Incredible exfoliation.
• No more peach fuzz!
• Greater penetration for skincare products. 
• Creates a smooth canvas for makeup.

Microneedling

Automated microneedling is a newer technique in aesthetic medicine where tiny needles create micro-injuries in the skin, facilitating the production of collagen and elastin. A thicker dermis layer then regenerates, softening wrinkles. 

Benefits:

• Softens wrinkles, fine lines, and acne scars.
• Improves skin’s overall appearance.
• More effective absorption of skincare products.

Anti-Aging Medical Peel

This treatment includes a variety of different products blended to exfoliate dead skin cells and hydrate those underneath. Experts at Xanadu Med Spa make a custom formula for each patient’s needs.

Benefits:

• Great exfoliation.
• Deep hydration. 
• Anti-aging (Obviously!) 

Skinmedica Vitalize and Rejuvenize Peels

Skinmedica peels erase years of time from the skin using a special blend of alpha-hydroxy acid, beta-hydroxy acid, resorcinol, and retinoic acid. They’re also friendly to all skin types. 

Benefits:

• Requires little downtime for patients. 
• Improves scarring, severe hyperpigmentation, & sun damage. 
• Dramatic results after a series of peels.
