At Kung Plastic Surgery, we've taken an honest look at skin treatments like chemical peels and microdermabrasion facials offered by other Maryland practices, as well as some of the most popular over-the-counter skin care products. By and large, we found them to be inadequate.
The skin of a baby, the model of youthful skin, is so healthy and smooth because it has layers of moist, new skin cells. Skin treatments like chemical peels or microdermabrasion facials offered at other Maryland practices seek to create healthy looking skin by peeling away older looking skin to reveal the newer skin underneath.
Unfortunately, these treatments are only skin deep in more ways than one. The benefits of a chemical peel or microdermabrasion are temporary; the new skin revealed will soon turn into the older skin cells that were burned or scraped off. What the treatments have actually done is peel away skin layers, making the skin thinner, which is what the aging process is already naturally doing. Patients pay for their short-term gains with long-term thinning of the skin and hyperpigmentation.
As for over-the-counter skin care products, most are inadequate, for the simple reason that they can only sit on top of outer, dead skin cell layers, with no way of penetrating to the layers of living skin where they can actually help.
At Kung Plastic Surgery, we offer the latest treatments in non-ablative skin care. We focus our efforts on feeding the skin and creating healthier looking skin through the stimulation of new tissue, not by scraping or burning away skin with treatments like chemical peels or microdermabrasion facials like those offered at other Maryland practices.
Our state-of-the-art skin care facility, which Dr. David Kung calls the best in the nation, offers an array of services designed to make you look younger and give you healthier skin. We offer ultrasonic skin treatment with the SESHÃ anti-oxidant formula that penetrates deep into your skin, MyoFacial treatment to stimulate the muscles of the face, and the FotoFacial™ treatment for hyperpigmentation.
Ultrasonic skin care from Kung Plastic Surgery addresses the same problems as microdermabrasion facials offered by other Maryland practices, with better results and no downtime.
During an ultrasonic skin treatment, a gel containing SESHÁ's patented combination of amino acids and antioxidants is spread over the skin. Then an ultrasonic wand is passed over the gel. The ultrasonic wand heats and breaks up the gel, allowing it to penetrate to the deepest layers of the skin. The heat also stimulates collagen growth and can correct fine wrinkles and discoloration, as well as acne and post-surgical scars.
The procedure is painless - most patients even describe it as warm and relaxing - and it requires no healing time. It works especially well on darker skinned patients who might be at risk for hyperpigmentation and people with sensitive skin that won't tolerate chemical peels.
The SESHÃ line is the only skin care line we offer at KPS. It's based on a naturally occurring transport molecule, and with the ultrasonic delivery system, it's the only product that can penetrate the skin, rather than simply lying on the surface. It has been tested against much more expensive lines and has proven its merit.
Ultrasonic skin care is an exciting new area of technology, and an attractive option for anyone who's had or considered having a chemical peel, laser resurfacing, or microdermabrasion facial from another Maryland practice. Contact KPS about ultrasonic skin care today.
FotoFacial™ is the name for our combined radio frequency and light treatment that we use to treat hyperpigmentation. The treatment rejuvenates the skin painlessly and non-invasively. It can remove capillaries, sunspots, discoloration, and hyperpigmentation, and can also smooth rough areas.
FotoFacial™ is part of the Kung Plastic Surgery Skin Care treatment that Dr. Kung believes to be the finest in the country. Contact our office today for a consultation.
When we work out at the gym, we burn fat and build muscle, which in turn stretches and smoothes the skin. The MyoFacial adapts this concept for use with the smaller muscles of the face.
In the treatment, electrical impulses are used to stimulate the muscles of the face, building and tightening the muscles, stretching the skin, getting rid of very fine wrinkles, and increasing the thickness of the skin.
MyoFacial is just one of the many options for younger looking skin here at Kung Plastic Surgery in Chevy Chase, Maryland. Our philosophy is to feed the skin, tighten the facial muscles, and look younger the healthy way. Don't scrape or burn your skin away with chemical peels or microdermabrasion facials from other Maryland practices. Come to Kung Plastic Surgery and learn about our healthy and effective skin care treatments.
