What Are Complexion Treatments?

Clear, healthy, beautiful skin is the cornerstone of West Dermatology.

Complexion concerns are often multifactorial and may include redness, visible vessels, pigmentation, melasma, acne, acne scarring, uneven tone, textural irregularities, and dullness. Because these concerns rarely exist in isolation, effective treatment often requires a personalized approach that looks at the full picture of your skin.

At West Dermatology, complexion treatments are designed to improve the overall clarity, tone, texture, and health of your skin. Dr. Allison Sutton carefully evaluates your skin type, concerns, triggers, and medical history to create a customized treatment plan that may include professional treatments, medical-grade skincare, and prescription therapies where appropriate.

Treatment Options for Complexion Concerns

At West Dermatology, complexion care is comprehensive and customized. Treatment options may include:

Medical-Grade Skincare

Customized skincare is often the foundation of a healthy complexion. Medical-grade products can help improve breakouts, support the skin barrier, reduce sensitivity, improve pigment irregularities, and maintain results over time.

Prescription Oral Medications

In some cases, oral medications may be used to help manage inflammation, pigment activity, or more persistent skin conditions.

Microneedling

Microneedling can help stimulate collagen production, improve texture, and soften the appearance of acne scarring over time. A series of treatments is often recommended for best results.

Sun Protection and Maintenance

Daily sun protection and ongoing maintenance are essential for preserving results and helping prevent recurrence of pigmentation and other complexion concerns.

Prescription Topical Treatments

Prescription-strength topical therapies may be recommended to address acne, pigmentation, inflammation, and other skin concerns more effectively.

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels can help exfoliate the skin, improve clarity, and reduce visible pigmentation as part of a broader treatment strategy.

Light-Based Treatments

Light-based therapies such as BBL can help reduce redness, broken capillaries, and uneven pigmentation while improving overall skin tone.

What are Chemical Peels?

Chemical peels cause the superficial top layers of skin to shed so that your skin is completely renewed. This procedure reveals fresh, smooth, glowing skin. A chemical peel unleashes the skin’s radiance- resulting in a skin texture and tone that is smoother and more even.

What are the benefits of Chemical Peels?

Exfoliating your skin helps it renew, but a chemical peel causes an even deeper transformation by triggering a holistic healing process deep within your skin. Chemical peels are suitable for all skin types. Chemical peels help improve the overall health of your skin. They can effectively address concerns like sun damage, pigmentation, rough texture, dullness, dryness, fine lines, wrinkles, acne and scarring.

What can I expect from Chemical Peels?

Chemical peels are an in-office procedure and take approximately 45-60 minutes. Each peel is customized to your unique skin type and are skillfully performed by one of our highly experienced Registered Nurses.
