Want to learn one of the secrets of younger-looking skin? One of the reasons why children have such young-looking skin is that their skin is literally younger. Our skin is a remarkable organ, constantly being shed and replaced, but as we age, that process slows and our skin cells stay around for longer, suffering sun and other environmental damage. The best solution to getting younger skin is to emulate the youth and remove dead outer skin so the more youthful skin underneath can show through.

At Port City Plastic Surgery, we offer many skin care procedures, including laser skin resurfacing, which can remove the outer layers of skin to give you a more youthful appearance. Laser skin resurfacing also stimulates your skin to produce more collagen, which is another factor in making your skin look younger.

Laser skin resurfacing is not an alternative to a facelift, but it may be an option for people with mild skin sagging, and it is an excellent complement to a facelift, correcting the fine lines and wrinkles that a facelift doesn’t correct.
