Skin Surgeries

Many doctors can perform surgeries to the skin, whether or not it is in a highly visible location like the face.  However, APSI surgeons are specifically focused on minimizing the outward effects of these surgeries to your appearance, and their honed expertise often makes them the first choice for individuals who require a surgery on any part of the body.  Since 80% of skin cancers occur on the face, head or neck, it may be best to turn to a plastic surgeon to remove them, as they are trained to minimize deformities.  Most scars treated by APSI surgeons will be barely visible or can be hidden within the natural folds of facial tissue.  Our surgeons, located in Austin, TX, can also assist with associated conditions and procedures listed below.

Skin Resurfacing

There are many rejuvenating and beautifying techniques for the face. Chemical Peels, Laser Skin Resurfacing and Dermabrasion are three such options to reduce wrinkles, uneven pigmentation, sun damage, superficial scars, precancerous skin conditions or other facial irregularities. 

There are different types of Chemical Peels (TCA Chemical Peel and Phenol Chemical Peel) for different conditions, all involving topical solutions applied to affected areas for varying lenghts of time. 

Dermabrasion uses a small, rapidly spinning wheel with a roughened surface to remove upper layers of skin, and is most often used on scars or small areas.  

Laser Skin Resurfacing is the newest of these procedures, during which upper layers of skin are removed by the skilled control of a carbon dioxide laser.  These procedures can be done alone for more minor issues or in conjunction with other aesthetic surgeries.
