Transforming your skin doesn’t have to mean applying harsh chemicals or undergoing surgical procedures. Here are three gentle but effective options you can explore to move toward your cosmetic goals.

Scientific and technological advancements are changing our lives faster all the time. And that doesn’t just apply to the phones in our pockets, the cars we drive, or other device-based functions. It’s also true when it comes to our skin rejuvenation options.

In fact, at our offices on Manhattan’s Upper East Side in New York City and in Madison, Connecticut, Norman J. Pastorek, MD, and Janice Pastorek, BSN, RN, offer several skin- rejuvenation treatments that leverage the latest advancements. This way, you can get transformative results without harsh chemicals or invasive treatments with lots of downtime.

Let’s look at just a few of the gentle, effective solutions our team offers.

#1: Treatment with platelet-rich fibrin (PRF)

This option uses your body’s own regenerative ability to rejuvenate your skin. 

We start by taking a tiny sample of your blood. With a centrifuge, we can separate out the various components in the blood to make platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), an advanced version of platelet-rich plasma (PRP). These solutions use the platelets in your blood because they’re rich in growth factors, which your body uses to generate new, healthy cells. 

By applying the PRF to your skin — usually following microneedling to allow it to penetrate more deeply — we supply your skin with resources it can use. PRF treatment can help with brown spots, fine lines, acne scars, and other skin issues. 

#2: Clareon intense pulsed light (IPL) treatment

This treatment uses the leading-edge Clareon Krypton laser to give you all of the benefits of IPL. That means we can perform a photofacial using the sophisticated laser’s light-based energy to even your skin tone and leave you glowing. 

We can apply the Clareon laser to address:

  • Discolored skin patches, including hyperpigmentation
  • Scars, including acne scars
  • Sagging skin
  • Redness
  • Visible blood vessels

Because of the advancements behind the Clareon laser, we can do all of this more comfortably than you might imagine. 

#3: Clear + Brilliant®

With this laser-based treatment, we provide a gentle way to improve your skin in just 30 minutes. 

The laser behind Clear + Brilliant allows us to target cosmetic woes like large pores and brown spots while also stimulating your skin’s collagen production processes. Collagen helps your skin stay tight through the years, so Clear + Brilliant gives you a way to defy aging. 

These are just a few of the groundbreaking treatments we offer.
