• As we at Raleigh Skin Surgery Center launch our cosmetic clinic, it is vital to outline our philosophy towards aging skin.  First off, all skin is aging and that’s an important distinction – aging skin is not “old” skin; in fact, aging skin is any skin at any age that shows sign of aging including:

  • Solar lentigines (aka “sun spots” “liver spots” “freckles”)

  • Rhytids (aka wrinkles) which are caused by repeated facial movements and poor skin laxity over time

  • Uneven skin pigmentation/color, including melasma (darkening of skin caused by hormonal changes and heredity)

  • Sun damage and rough or scaly skin

  • Loss of skin elasticity caused by sun exposure over time, environmental factors, lifestyle choices, etc

​

Our philosophy is PREVENTION - target above causes individually starting at a young age – do not wait until the above signs of aging are too significant or severe to ameliorate or lessen or reverse. Our goal and expertise is a natural, youthful look.  Looking natural is vital to an optimal outcome, and it’s what we specialize in at Raleigh Skin Surgery Center. 

 

We believe that aging is a natural process that can be beautiful and celebrated.

The Med Spa at Vision Dermatology focuses on revitalizing the skin, namely the reticular dermis, so that aging is not simply covered up with fillers and neurotoxins. Rather, we provide the tools and the partnership to strengthen and rebuild the essential elements of skin integrity and strength. The results may look similar initially, but our focus is on fundamental replenishment of key proteins like collagen and elastin that result in sustained, real changes to the skin anatomy and physiology
