The start of a new year offers the perfect opportunity to think about what we hope to accomplish in the coming months. If enhancing the look and feel of your skin is among your 2026 New Year’s resolutions, the team at Cary Laser, Aesthetics, and Center for Hair Restoration in Cary, North Carolina, led by Vijaya Polavaram, MD, are happy to discuss some of the treatment options that can bring you closer to your aesthetic ideals.
Here are three medical aesthetics treatment options that can help you look more youthful and refreshed in the coming year.
If you’re searching for a treatment that delivers noticeable results without chemicals or light therapy, microneedling is well worth consideration. This treatment uses a handpiece covered with thin, sterile needles to penetrate into the deeper layers of your skin.
Your body recognizes each of these needle intrusions as a microinjury and rushes to launch a healing response. New collagen and elastin cells are created, which work to add a layer of natural padding to your skin.
This serves to plump skin and lessen the appearance of lines and wrinkles. Microneedling is also an effective treatment for acne scars, stretch marks, and hyperpigmentation.
If you’re concerned about areas of your face or body that are darker than the surrounding skin, intense-pulsed light (IPL) treatments are a great option. This approach uses brief flashes of light to penetrate deep within your skin and trigger cellular changes.
IPL is a more gentle treatment than laser therapy. It triggers changes in the deeper layers of your skin while keeping the surface temperature at a safe and comfortable level. The light energy that passes through your skin is drawn to concentrations of pigment, which are then blasted apart and eliminated from your body.
IPL is a wonderful option for the following:
The ability to treat multiple issues at once is part of why IPL photofacials are so popular.
The Icon laser system offers a range of treatment modalities and a fit for virtually every set of needs. You can have laser hair removal using the Icon system, delivering soft, smooth skin and a dramatic reduction in regrowth and ingrown hairs.
Icon also works to soften and smooth acne scars and other forms of scarring. Treatments stimulate new collagen production, which can help even out depressed acne scarring.
Collagen loss is a leading cause of visible aging. Icon laser therapy prompts your body to create new collagen cells, which create a layer that gives your face refined contouring, smoothing skin and erasing fine lines and wrinkles.
