Microdermabrasion

Performed in Dr. Arons’ office, microdermabrasion is a noninvasive mechanical resurfacing technique that has been used in Europe for many years, recently gaining popularity in the United States. Microdermabrasion is a painless procedure that does not require any anesthesia. It combines a mechanical scraping of the skin, along with a vacuum to suction away skin debris.

As skin ages and becomes sun damaged, it loses its elasticity, becomes thinner and discolored. The texture of the skin becomes rough. Microdermabrasion can improve the texture and color of the skin; the skin becomes thicker and there is a more youthful appearance. More

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Laser

Carbon dioxide laser is another non-surgical technique offered by Dr. Arons to promote skin rejuvenation. To be sure, however, the laser is a powerful instrument that gently burns the outer layers of the skin while promoting formation of new skin elements, thereby resulting in a fresher more youthful look.

Sun damage, age spots, and wrinkles can be removed and improved. In laser resurfacing, a beam of laser energy is used to vaporize the upper layers of damaged skin with accurate precision. As new cells form during the healing process, a smoother tighter younger looking skin surface appears. More

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)

Dr. Arons has brought the technology of intense pulsed light, which uses the heat energy of visible light to improve skin damage from aging, sun damage, and acne, to his New Haven office. This same technology can also be used to remove unwanted hair.

As we age and our skin is exposed to the sun, smoke, and other pollutants, it undergoes fundamental changes that result in uneven and blotchy pigmentation, redness, and brown spots. These very visible signs of aging can now be addressed with this breakthrough treatment. More

Scar Revision

Doctor Arons offers a number of treatments for scar revisions based on the type and degree of scarring. Options range from simple topical treatments to minimally invasive procedures, to surgical revision with advanced techniques in wound closure. In general, scar revision is performed to create a less prominent scar that is more consistent with surrounding skin tone and texture. Before deciding on the best course of action, Doctor Arons believes it is important for his patients to understand that all scars – whether the result of injury or surgery – are permanent. More
