  DiamondGlow™ Facial Treatments

  If you’re looking for a skincare treatment that offers high-quality results in a short timeframe, look no further than DiamondGlow™. DiamondGlow™ is the new, high-tech way to exfoliate while simultaneously delivering skin-boosting serum. It can also reduce the appearance of fine lines and sun damage while brightening and evening out the skin’s overall tone. A step up from traditional microdermabrasion, DiamondGlow™ not only clears and cleans your pores, but deposits customized serums when they will be optimally absorbed – immediately after cleansing. It can also be used in areas where more traditional, crystal-blasting treatments cannot. For example, DiamondGlow™ is safe for use around the mouth and eyes, in addition to the face, arms, and upper back. DiamondGlow™ uses a unique, 3-in-1, skin resurfacing tool. The first component of this tool is the medical-grade, diamond tip that gently abrades and removes dead skin cells and dirt. The DiamondGlow™ wand also features a tiny vacuum, that whisks away debris and dead skin as soon as it is loosened. Finally, the wand features the ability to hold customized serums. Prior to beginning your procedure, the specialists at Wilmington Plastic Surgery and Skin Care MedSpa will evaluate your skin, create a serum that uniquely suits your needs, and deposit the custom serum into the DiamondGlow™ tool. Ask us if you’re a candidate for this remarkable procedure. The biggest upside of DiamondGlow™ is its customizability. Because we can fill the tool with any serum, we can create a blend that will meet your unique skin care needs and correct things like breakouts and fine lines. One DiamondGlow™ session typically lasts 30 minutes. The best results are seen after several sessions spread over 6-8 weeks, depending on your skincare professional’s recommendations. Whether you’ve got a party, wedding, or business trip, DiamondGlow™ allows you to revitalize your skin quickly, painlessly, and with almost no side effects.

  SkinPen® Microneedling

  SkinPen® is a simple, versatile Microneedling tool that erases skin imperfections. The process allows skincare products used during the treatment to penetrate deeper into the skin, resulting in more significant and long-lasting results. While it looks like a simple retractable pen, SkinPen® is actually a medical-grade micro-needling tool available to skincare professionals only. It is ideal for skin resurfacing, without burning, peeling, and redness. Microneedling is especially useful in summer months when patients wish to be outside and therefore are exposed to the sun. With SkinPen, there is little to no downtime involved. In addition to addressing fine lines, wrinkles and discolorations in the skin (such as brown and red spots), Skinpen® is especially effective on acne scars on the face and back, as well as stretch marks on the abdomen and legs. Appropriate for all skin types, it can reverse years of sun damage and enhance the overall appearance of aging skin. SkinPen stimulates your skin’s natural ability to repair itself and produce new collagen. Microneedles, in effect, create micro-injuries, after which the skin, naturally and automatically, begins to dissolve tissue damage and replace it with new cells. Microscopic channels allow the product to penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin, which produces better results. Many patients notice that their skin looks healthier immediately. However, since your body is healing itself naturally, the process continues over several weeks. Final results may take three to six months. SkinPen’s settings can be individualized, so the treatment tends to be very comfortable for most patients. Typically, it is a 30-minute procedure but depends on the area(s) treated and the severity of damage on the skin. During your consultation at Wilmington Plastic Surgery, we can give you an idea of what to expect including the number of treatments you’ll need also depends on what you are having done, your individual goals, and the overall health of your skin. Likewise, recovery depends on individual factors. On average, though, patients experience mild sunburn-like slight pink/redness and heal completely in 24-96 hours. During your consultation at Wilmington Plastic Surgery, we can give you an idea of what to expect. Schedule your appointment below your journey to perfection skin.

  Scar Reduction

  Many new products and procedures that are highly effective at eliminating or reducing the appearance of scars are now available. Wilmington Plastic Surgery offers a full range, as well as the expertise to safely and effectively employ them. Scars can appear both large and small on our bodies. More often than not scarring causes little to no pain after the healing process. Other times dermatological issues like acne or wounds that never healed quite right can cause problems. When scars begin to impact your self-image or physical pain they require professional treatment. The plastic surgeons and skincare professionals at Wilmington Plastic Surgery’s Skincare Medspa and Clinic are well-versed in the treatment options available to reduce the appearance of scars and address associated skincare conditions. Scarring happens thanks in part to our skin’s natural ability to heal. After an injury, our bodies repair wounds with new collagen fibers that result in scar tissue and new skin. Treatment options for scarring will be determined by the location, size, and age of the scar.

  Dermaplaning

  Reveal smooth, glowing skin with professional dermaplaning at Wilmington Plastic Surgery & Med Spa. This non-invasive exfoliating treatment removes dead skin cells and peach fuzz for instantly brighter skin and better product absorption, all with no downtime. Dermaplaning is a cosmetic med spa facial treatment that entails a highly-skilled, certified medical esthetician using a sterile scalpel to manually exfoliate. The tool gently removes the top layer of dead skin, trapped oils, and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz), leaving your skin incredibly soft and refreshed. Dermaplaining can be treated alone or as a great add-on to any medical-grade facial treatment, chemical peel, or DiamondGlow™ treatment because the extensive exfoliation allows for deeper and easier product penetration. Benefits of Medical Grade Exfoliation: • Removes dull, dead skin buildup • Smooths skin texture for a radiant glow • Minimizes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles • Improves the appearance of acne scars • Allows skincare products to absorb more effectively • Makes makeup application smoother and more flawless • No downtime - just fresh, glowing skin What to Expect During Your Dermaplane Treatment Your dermaplane appointment will last about 30–45 minutes. After cleansing the skin, your esthetician will gently glide the dermaplane tool across your face to remove dead skin and fine hair. The treatment is painless, safe, and relaxing, with no downtime or redness expected. You’ll leave with immediately noticeable results and softer, smoother skin. It’s the perfect pick-me-up before events, photos, or as a regular part of your skincare routine. Who Should Get Dermaplaning? Dermaplaning is safe and effective for most skin types, including dry, dull, or sensitive skin. It’s also a pregnancy-safe exfoliation option, since no chemicals are used. It’s an ideal treatment if you want gentle, effective exfoliation without irritation or peeling. Will Dermaplaning Make Hair Grow Back Thicker? Rumor has it, removing/shaving off peach fuzz results in darker, thicker hair regrowth - THIS IS FALSE, shaving or dermaplaning the face does not cause hair to grow back thicker or darker. Vellus hair will grow back exactly the same texture and color it was before. Patients who receive dermaplane treatments leave the office with a smoother, glowing complexion, resulting in easier product penetration and makeup application. Dermaplaning Add-Ons & Medical Grade Skincare Pairings Dermaplaning enhances the results of other treatments, making it a great addition to your visit. Not only will it allow products to penetrate the skin deeper, it will allow for easier and smoother application of both products and makeup. Unsure of what products are best for your skins needs?

  Laser Skin Resurfacing

  At Wilmington Plastic Surgery, with locations in Wilmington and Jacksonville, North Carolina, we are proud to be one of the region’s only practices offering the revolutionary Sciton Joule and M Joule—the world’s most advanced laser systems.The state-of-the-art solution designed to address a variety of aesthetic concerns with precision and efficacy, allowing us to address a wide range of aesthetic concerns with unparalleled precision and versatility. Our Skin Care MedSpa is a true medical clinic, led by our expert team of three plastic surgeons, experienced laser technicians, and licensed aestheticians, ensuring the highest standards of safety and exceptional results. Sciton’s tunable resurfacing technology is unique because it separates ablation and coagulation, allowing for the precise application of each. (Ablation refers to resurfacing or the removal of the outer layer; coagulation is the heat process that tightens or firms skin.) Wilmington Plastic Surgery physicians can select the exact amount of both ablation and coagulation needed for every individual patient’s medical condition or aesthetic issue, as well as the patient’s desired outcome and tolerance for downtime. The technology allows our physicians to plane down mild to deep wrinkles externally while stimulating the dermal collagen internally. The skin also becomes more resilient as a result and continually improves over weeks and months. Because the Joule offers better ablation through more efficient water absorption, patients experience far fewer side effects. Higher water absorption also means higher efficiency and precise control. The energy is extremely targeted and does not radiate into the surrounding tissue. While avoiding a noticeable scar is not the primary concern of any surgery, it should be an important consideration in the final treatment plan. For practically any type of surgery, Wilmington Plastic Surgery’s laser technicians have the capability to reduce post-surgical scars. For patients who have undergone uncomfortable or even traumatic injuries, illnesses, and surgeries, removing unsightly scars and/or markings for radiation treatments can provide an overall sense of wellness and the ability to move beyond their illness. The blessed event of childbirth can cause some unwelcome aesthetic changes to a woman’s body. With our various lasers, we can effectively treat these concerns, helping restore your pre-pregnancy complexion and figure. The excellent results gained from these non-invasive treatments can make a significant difference in your emotional recovery, as well.

  BOTOX® Cosmetic

  BOTOX® Cosmetic is the gold standard treatment to temporarily reduce or eliminate facial muscular lines and wrinkles, such as frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead creases. This simple, non-surgical treatment is administered by a highly trained Wilmington Plastic Surgery medical professional— a board-certified physician, a physician assistant or a licensed nurse. An FDA-approved treatment, BOTOX consists of a few tiny injections of a purified protein produced by the Clostridium Botulinum Bacterium, which reduces the activity of the muscles that can cause these lines to form over time. The vertical lines that appear between eyebrows, for example, are the result of muscle contractions. When you concentrate, squint or frown, the muscles between your brows contract, causing the skin to furrow and fold. After years of contractions, the wrinkles can linger even when the muscles are at rest. BOTOX works by blocking nerve impulses to the injected muscles, so the skin stays smooth and wrinkles cannot appear. Certainly not just for women, BOTOX is the most popular minimally invasive, physician-administered aesthetic procedure for men. Results of BOTOX injections can last up to four months.

  KYBELLA™

  In adults, KYBELLA™ is a prescription medication employed to enhance the aesthetic appeal and contour of the area beneath the chin, commonly referred to as submental fat or the "double chin." Its purpose is to address moderate to severe fat accumulation in this region and improve the overall appearance and profile. KYBELLA™ is a prescription medicine used in adults to improve the appearance and profile of moderate to severe fat below the chin (submental fat), also called “double chin.” If you have ever wished that your double chin would disappear, then you will be excited about the newest procedure now available at Wilmington Plastic Surgery. This recently FDA-approved, injectable is specifically designed to melt away the fat on your chin. Just like the deoxycholic acid created by your own body, Kybella absorbs fat; however, upon injection into the submental fat zone on the lower part of the jawline and chin, it dissolves the fat cells. Kybella is not designed for other parts of your body; it is specifically designed and only approved to eliminate chin fat. The medical term for this double chin fat region is called “submental fullness”, which is a polite way of describing that “turkey neck” that many people dislike about their face. Until now, the only other solution for eliminating chin fat has been through surgery or liposuction. These methods are more invasive than Kybella, which is considered a very quick, hassle-free and virtually painless injectable, similar to those you would receive with Botox or facial filler enhancements. The difference is that with Kybella, instead of “filling” in the fine lines and wrinkles, the Kybella starts working to eradicate those stubborn fat deposits that make your face appear bloated, puffy or chubby. While many spas and other types of offices offer injectables, our patients express the added comfort of knowing Wilmington Plastic Surgery’s aestheticians and nurses are highly skilled, trained and experienced in these treatments, and our entire Skin Care MedSpa is supervised by our plastic surgeons.

Its unique ability to add volume to the natural contours of the face, along with its remarkable effectiveness in restoring a youthful appearance to the hands, makes it an exceptional choice devoid of invasive surgery.

  CoolSculpting® Elite

  Discover the cutting-edge answer to eliminating pinchable fat bulges, including the outer thighs, previously challenging inner thighs, and stubborn belly fat. CoolSculpting stands as the pinnacle of non-surgical advancements in fat reduction. Introducing, The Most Advanced CoolSculpting® Technology Available: CoolSculpting® Elite. Experience the breakthrough of CoolSculpting®, now conveniently available at Wilmington Plastic Surgery. This FDA-cleared, noninvasive procedure offers a gentle and effective solution to target stubborn fat in problem areas that often prove resistant to traditional diet and exercise methods. The outcome? Remarkable and naturally appearing fat reduction in the treated areas, delivering visible results for both men and women. During the procedure, a noninvasive applicator delivers controlled cooling to the treatment area to specifically target and eliminate fat cells the day of your treatment, permanently removing the treated layer of fat. Patients can resume daily activities immediately following their treatment. Over the next three to four months, the body continues to flush remaining fat cells through the lymphatic system. Noticeable results are generally seen within the first two months following treatment. Treatment plans are designed with each individual patient carefully in mind, and are unique to each individual’s specific needs. The CoolSculpting® Procedure, developed by ZELTIQ,™ is based on sound science called cryolipolysis. The scientific principles of cryolipolysis were discovered by renowned dermatologists Dieter Manstein, MD, and R. Rox Anderson, MD, of the Wellman Center for Photomedicine at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, a teaching affiliate of Harvard Medical School. Research demonstrated that, under carefully controlled conditions, subcutaneous fat cells are naturally more vulnerable to the effects of cold than other surrounding tissue. These Harvard studies and other research confirmed that fat cells, when exposed to precisely controlled cooling for a sustained period of time, undergo a gradual reduction and cell death through a process called “induced apoptosis.” The dead fat cells are broken down and digested by the immune cells in the body. The fats themselves are naturally processed by the liver. NO NEEDLES. NO SURGERY. NO DOWNTIME. CoolSculpting is the only procedure that uses patented cooling technology to target and eliminate fat cells with no damage to surrounding areas. The delivery of precise cooling affects only targeted fat cells, leaving adjacent tissue unharmed and intact. It is FDA-cleared in the U.S. for non-invasive fat reduction. Performed at our Wilmington Plastic Surgery Landfall office, the procedure allows patients to sit or lie comfortably, read, work on their laptops, or even nap during the procedure. While uncommon, a small percentage of patients may experience pain related to their treatment. In 100% of cases, the pain has naturally subsided over time.

  Emsculpt®

  If you find yourself struggling to free yourself of the last remaining stubborn fat deposits, Emsculpt® may be the solution for you. Paired with a healthy lifestyle, Emsculpt is a revolutionary new way to eliminate fat, build muscle, and help you achieve your ideal body shape. It works by using high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology that causes your body to quickly break down and dispose of unwanted fat cells. According to the Food and Drug Administration, Emsculpt is cleared to help with the “improvement of abdominal tone, strengthening of the abdominal muscles, [and] development of firmer abdomen,” as well as the, “strengthening, toning, [and] firming of the buttocks.” Emsculpt®’s innovative HIFEM technology works by causing the body’s muscles to rapidly contract and release. During the procedure, an Emsculpt paddle is placed on the area of focus and initiates a series of around 20,000 muscle contractions in just one 30-minute session. Your muscles will react almost immediately by releasing chemicals that kill excess fat cells and cause them to be broken down and metabolized by the body. Not only does Emsculpt result in fat loss, but an increase in muscle mass as well. Many patients find that this process also results in thicker, stronger muscles and a more toned appearance. Emsculpt® is a non-invasive procedure. Patients simply lie down, relax, and trust Emsculpt to work its magic. Each Emsculpt® session lasts for just 30 minutes. While most treatments can be completed in a total of four sessions, the team at Wilmington Plastic Surgery and Skin Care MedSpa will work with you to determine the number of sessions required to accomplish your desired results. Emsculpt can help your abs and buttocks look lean and toned in just a few short weeks. If you’re ready to reach your body’s full potential and achieve a more polished, toned appearance, visit Wilmington Plastic Surgery. Schedule a free cosmetic consultation to find out if you’re a candidate for Emsculpt and bring yourself one step closer to a look you love.

• Growth Factors

  Growth factors are naturally occurring proteins in the skin that are lost as we age. Critical in skin repair, growth factors prevent collagen breakdown and signs of aging. If we are not replenishing the growth factors we lose, our skin will break down, causing lines and wrinkles to appear.

• Retinoids

  Retinoids are essential in skin rejuvenation. With age, our cellular turnover process slows down and we begin holding onto dead skin cells, causing our complexion to look dull. Retinoids can restore that “dewy,” luminous, youthful look to your skin.

• Antioxidants
