Your skin can look and feel refreshed and revitalized with safe, comfortable and affordable treatments at Billinkoff Aesthetics. Simply put, Skin Rejuvenation aims to remove the dead, dull outer layer of skin and promote the growth of new skin leading to a younger, healthier appearance. Billinkoff Aesthetic's unique Skin Rejuvenation Program offers three approaches to achieving effective skin renewal.

Chemical peeling is one of the most effective ways to combat skin aging. Chemical peels are one of the most frequently performed aesthetic procedures in North America.
Chemical solutions may be applied to the skin to remove outer layers of aged, discoloured skin. Depending on the specific type and concentration of the chemical used, the skin exfoliates or peels over a period of days, leaving behind a new refreshed skin that is smoother, has fewer wrinkles and is more even in colour. Another benefit is a reduction of sebum overproduction and acne breakouts.
Facial peels are often used to treat wrinkles around the eyes and mouth, skin discolouration, age spots, mild acne scars and dull skin. They may range from mild peels (for fine lines and wrinkles) to medium-depth peels (for moderate skin damage such as age spots, freckles and sun damage). A series of treatments every three to four weeks is usually recommended.
Microdermabrasion is a very popular, safe and non-invasive procedure done to improve skin texture and tone. It combines the use of a gentle suction and a diamond tipped wand to exfoliate and remove the dead outer layer of skin. The result is a cleaner, softer and smoother complexion. Treatments are quick and painless, and best of all, there is no down time!
The skin is the largest organ of our body. It protects us from the environment, and regulates our body temperature. Your skin is made up of millions of cells. Each day, thousands of these cells die, fall off, and are replaced by cells beneath them. As we age, this process begins to slow down, and in turn age spots, fine lines and uneven skin texture begin to appear. Acne occurs when dead skin cells block the pore through which a hair emerges from the skin. The oil that would normally travel to the surface of the skin gets stuck and solidifies. Microdermabrasion can help to treat these conditions in a safe and effective way without the use of harsh chemicals and antibiotics.
A series of treatments are recommended to achieve maximum results depending on the condition being treated, however you will notice improvement after each treatment. Immediately your skin will feel cleaner, smoother and more refreshed! We recommend you discontinue using the following 5 days prior to having a treatment:
After your treatment, your skin may feel flushed, or have a "wind-burn" effect. This is normal and should subside by the end of the night or the next day. If needed, a cold wash cloth can be applied to the area to cool the skin. Be sure to use a mild cleanser for the next few days, and avoid excessive sun exposure. You will be sun-sensitive, so be sure to apply an SPF daily.
As we age we begin to notice changes in our complexion. These changes usually include, fine lines, uneven pigmentation (usually brown or red) and more dullness of our skin.
Photorejuvenation, also know as a photofacial, can be used to treat;
Our Alma Harmony laser with AFT (Advanced Fluorescence Technology) uses intense pulsed light to treat both the red and brown pigments in the skin and stimulates the creation of new collagen. The result is a more even, radiant complexion.
A treatment every 3 weeks is recommended. Usually 3-5 sessions are required to achieve desired results, though improvement will be noticed with each treatment. These treatments are also effective on the neck, chest and the hands.
It takes about 20 minutes to scan the entire face with one pass of the laser. Sometimes multiple passes are required taking up to 1 hour to complete.
Dr. Billinkoff will recommend a maintenance program to preserve the restored youthfulness of your skin.
The Pixel erbium/yag laser is a newer, less invasive method than traditional skin resurfacing. Designed to treat aged and photo-damaged skin, the Pixel Laser improves the quality and texture of the skin while it stimulates new collagen growth.
After a series of treatments patients can expect to see;
Skin resurfacing is a gradual process that happens over several treatments. It works by creating thousands of microscopic perforations in the skin. This stimulates new collagen to appear, which tightens skin and reduces scarring. Where traditional laser skin resurfacing removes entire layers of skin, each Pixel treatment only affects about 20% of the skin surface. This results in improved comfort and reduced recovery time, while still providing a more vibrant appearance. The skin is restored to its fresh, healthy state looking brighter with fewer wrinkles and scars, smaller pores and improved complexion.
