Microneedling can stimulate the skin's natural ability to produce new collagen and elastin for healthier, younger-looking skin. It accelerates this repair process by creating microscopic channels, which also allow products to penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin. Microneedling is extremely versatile and can be used on all parts of the body: face, neck, decollete, arms, hands, legs, abdomen and back. This versatility makes microneedling especially helpful when addressing acne scars and stretch marks. Still have questions? Email us at podcast@lewisburgplastic.com

A chemical peel uses a solution applied to the skin to remove layers of the skin and stimulate the production of new skin cells. It tightens the skin, reduces wrinkles and pigmentation (brown spots), helps control acne and leaves your complexion with a healthy glow. The depth of the peel recommended will depend on your skin type and desired result. Still have questions? Email us at podcast@lewisburgplastic.com
