Treatments in Skin

• Chemical Peels Chemical peels apply a controlled acid to resurface the skin and prompt fresh, smoother skin to grow, improving tone, texture, and fine lines. They come in depths, superficial, medium, and deep, that trade downtime for strength. At Santa Barbara Face & Body a board-certified facial plastic surgeon matches the depth to your skin type and goal, honestly.
• SkinPen® Elite Microneedling SkinPen® Elite microneedling, or collagen induction therapy, uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries that prompt the skin to rebuild collagen, smoothing acne scars, texture, and fine lines. It is minimally invasive, needs little downtime, and is safe for all skin tones. At Santa Barbara Face & Body a board-certified facial plastic surgeon plans a course for a natural, gradual improvement.
• Biologic Hair Regeneration Biologic hair regeneration uses platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), growth factors from your own blood, applied to the scalp — often with SkinPen® Elite scalp microneedling — to support thicker, denser hair in pattern hair loss. The evidence is still developing and it is not a cure. At Santa Barbara Face & Body a board-certified facial plastic surgeon sets honest expectations and often combines it with proven options.
• CO2 Laser Resurfacing CO2 laser resurfacing removes damaged surface layers and heats the skin beneath so it rebuilds collagen, smoothing wrinkles, acne scars, and sun damage. Fractional CO2 does this in tiny columns for faster healing. Because it is not right for every skin tone, at Santa Barbara Face & Body a board-certified facial plastic surgeon assesses your skin first and recommends honestly.
