Wrinkles, Fine Lines, & Skin FoldsWrinkles, fine lines & skin folds are part of the natural aging process, however, there are ways to eliminate them & improve your skin’s overall appearance. Genetic conditions, sun exposure, medications, smoking, & other environmental factors all play a role in the development of wrinkles, fine lines, & skin folds. These imperfections are often asymmetric since most people smile, frown, furrow their brow, squint, or sleep more on one side than the other.
Scar RevisionScar revision is a surgical procedure that is used to reduce the appearance of many types of scars. This surgical treatment helps to restore skin function in addition to correcting the skin’s appearance.
Acne Scar Treatment & SurgeryAt the Knight Dermatology Institute, we are frequently asked if anything can be done for old acne scars. This condition, a result of previous nodular/cystic acne, is emotionally taxing for many patients. Fortunately, we do have several weapons in the fight against this disfiguring condition. Modern acne scar treatment options include laser treatments, microdermabrasion, chemical peels, & surgical treatments such as subcision, punch grafting, CROSS therapy, & formal excision.
Lentigos & Age SpotsLentigos are brown spots that appear on the skin primarily due to the sun. These spots have very little to do w/ age; they are caused by cumulative UV exposure. Lentigos develop on the skin due to melanin deposits. Melanin is the pigment in our skin: it absorbs light & gives our skin its color.
Hyper PigmentationHyper Pigmentation is a condition in which certain areas of the skin become darker than the surrounding areas. This condition is quite common, is thought to be harmless, & can occur in people of any race. The darkening takes place due to an excess amount of melanin, which gives skin its normal pigmentation.

Chemical PeelsChemical peels work by using a chemical solution applied directly to the skin to promote peeling. The new skin that is revealed is smoother, less wrinkled, & more even in tone & color. These peels can be used w/ other cosmetic dermatological procedures & are often used to pre-treat areas prior to other treatments. Patients w/ a variety of skin conditions can benefit from chemical peels. Patients w/ fine lines & wrinkles, especially around the nose & mouth, notice significant improvement after peels. Skin discolorations from sunspots, freckles, liver spots, age spots, uneven tone & blotchiness also diminish after treatment. In addition to improving skin tone & wrinkles, mild scarring (such as acne scarring) can be improved w/ peels.
