Non-Surgical Skin Treatments in Exton and Lancaster, PA
Not every patient wants surgery to address skin concerns. At Legacy Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics in Exton, PA, we offer non-surgical skin treatments for those looking for alternatives to surgery or ways to maintain their results. These treatments can be used alone or alongside surgical options. We oversee all non-surgical skin treatments with the same level of attention we give to surgical care. By having surgeons involved in your treatment plan, we can help guide you toward choices that fit both your aesthetic goals and your anatomy.
What Can We Treat With Non-Surgical Skin Solutions?
Sagging Skin and Laxity
Skin laxity often develops with age as collagen and elastin production slow down. We offer skin tightening treatments that use energy-based devices to stimulate your skin’s deeper layers and promote firmness. These options can be useful for areas like the lower face, jawline, and neck, where sagging tends to be more noticeable.
Submental Fullness
A buildup of fat under the chin can soften your profile and make the neck appear less defined. With facial sculpting treatments, we can reduce this fullness using energy-based techniques that target subcutaneous fat. Treatment plans depend on your anatomy and how much fat is present.
Wrinkles and Fine Lines
Fine lines can show up early and deepen with repeated movement or sun exposure. We use neuromodulators, microneedling, and laser therapies to relax muscles, stimulate new collagen, and resurface damaged skin. These treatments often address the quality of the skin, making it a great option for boosting surgical results.
Acne Scars and Large Pores
Some acne scars respond well to collagen induction therapies like RF microneedling, which remodels the skin from below the surface. Texture irregularities from enlarged pores or past breakouts can be reduced using laser treatments or chemical peels. We can treat everything from atrophic scars to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Sun Damage and Hyperpigmentation
Sun exposure often leads to visible pigmentation issues, including dark spots and uneven skin tone. We offer treatments that target melanin while preserving surrounding tissue, such as IPL or laser-based light therapies. These options break down pigment clusters and can also improve blotchiness caused by chronic sun exposure.
Visible Blood Vessels
Dilated capillaries and redness from broken vessels can be addressed using vascular lasers that specifically target hemoglobin. These treatments selectively close off the vessel without damaging the surface of your skin. Depending on the extent of visible vessels, more than one session may be needed. It’s often used on the cheeks, nose, or chin, where facial redness tends to concentrate.
Unwanted Hair
Laser hair removal can reduce hair growth on the face and body by targeting the follicle with controlled heat. Over time, treated hair becomes finer and sparser with long-term results. This option is most effective on darker hair and lighter skin, though newer technologies have broadened the range of treatable tones.
Stubborn Body Fat and Cellulite
Some pockets of fat don’t respond to diet or exercise, especially around the abdomen, thighs, or arms. Non-invasive fat reduction technologies break down fat cells. These options can also smooth out dimpled skin texture caused by cellulite. While results take time to develop, they can be maintained with follow-up treatments and a healthy routine.
Weak Muscle Tone
Certain energy-based treatments use electromagnetic stimulation to contract muscles far beyond what you can achieve through exercise. These repeated contractions help build strength and definition over time. This approach is often combined with fat reduction for more visible body contouring.
Dull or Dehydrated Skin
Lack of radiance often comes from poor hydration or a buildup of dead skin. Treatments like hydrating facials, light chemical peels, or exfoliating devices can help replenish moisture and remove surface debris. We also offer therapies that infuse the skin with nourishing ingredients to support barrier function and luminosity.
Our Non-Surgical Skin Treatment Options
InMode Evoke
This treatment uses radiofrequency energy to remodel the tissues of the lower face and neck without injections or surgery. It targets areas like the cheeks, jawline, and under the chin to improve definition and reduce mild sagging. Facial contouring with InMode Evoke can stimulate collagen and promote tighter, more sculpted features. Sessions are hands-free and comfortable.
InMode Forma
Forma uses thermal energy to improve skin tightness and elasticity by stimulating collagen remodeling. The device glides across the surface of the skin, gradually heating targeted areas to a specific temperature that promotes firming. It’s commonly used on the face, neck, and body to improve the appearance of mild laxity.
The InMode Evolve Series
The InMode Evolve series includes non-surgical technologies that improve skin tone, reduce fat, and enhance muscle definition. Treatments are hands-free and use different forms of energy to remodel tissue.
- Evolve Tite: Evolve Tite uses radiofrequency energy to improve laxity and firmness in areas such as the abdomen, arms, thighs, and flanks. The device monitors skin temperature in real time to maintain consistent results throughout the treatment.
- Evolve Trim: Evolve Trim focuses on reducing stubborn fat while also improving the appearance of cellulite. It combines radiofrequency energy with a vacuum system to deliver heat directly to the subcutaneous fat layer. This process can disrupt fat cells and smooth the surface of the skin at the same time.
- Evolve Tone: Evolve Tone uses electromagnetic stimulation to activate and strengthen muscle fibers. Each session causes rapid, involuntary contractions that increase muscle tone and definition.
InMode Lumecca IPL
Lumecca uses a technology known as intense pulsed light to target pigmented and vascular lesions on the surface of the skin. The device emits controlled bursts of light that are absorbed by melanin and hemoglobin, breaking down discoloration without harming surrounding tissue. This hyperpigmentation treatment is commonly used for sunspots, age spots, and redness caused by broken capillaries.
InMode Diolaze Laser Hair Removal
Diolaze uses a diode laser to target and heat hair follicles, which helps disrupt future hair growth. The device includes a built-in cooling system that increases patient comfort during the treatment. Laser hair removal with Diolaze is suitable for most areas of the body, including the face, underarms, bikini area, and legs.
InMode Vasculaze
Vasculaze treats visible veins and vascular lesions using targeted bursts of light energy. It specifically targets hemoglobin within the vessel, which causes the vein to collapse and fade from view. Most often used on the legs and face, this treatment is ideal for spider veins, broken capillaries, and angiomas.
RF Microneedling Devices
RF microneedling devices combine traditional microneedling with radiofrequency energy to remodel collagen and improve skin tone and texture.
- Morpheus8: Morpheus8 delivers radiofrequency energy through microneedles that reach into the deeper layers of the skin. This supports collagen remodeling and can help with skin laxity, uneven texture, and deeper lines. This skin tightening treatment is commonly used on the lower face, jawline, and neck, but it can also be used on the body.
- VirtueRF: VirtueRF is another microneedling platform that offers adjustable depths and intensity, and allows for targeted treatments on both the face and body. Virtue RF is often chosen for its ability to improve texture, reduce fine lines, and refine pores.
CoolPeel CO₂ Laser Treatments
CoolPeel uses a fractionated CO₂ laser to resurface the skin with less heat and downtime than traditional CO₂ treatments. It creates microchannels in the outer layer of skin to stimulate new collagen and remove damaged cells. This treatment is used for fine lines, sun damage, enlarged pores, and overall skin texture.
PRP Therapy
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy involves isolating growth factors from your own blood and injecting or applying them to targeted areas of the skin. These growth factors support natural tissue repair and collagen production. PRP is often used in combination with microneedling to enhance healing, improve skin tone, and reduce the appearance of scars. It can also be used as a standalone treatment for skin rejuvenation or hair thinning.
Injectables
We offer a wide range of injectable treatments that we can use to treat concerns such as wrinkles or loss of volume. Our options include neuromodulators like Botox and dermal fillers like the JUVÉDERM family. Injectables are fast, easy, low-downtime, and can often be combined with other methods for more complete rejuvenation.
Customized Facials and Peels
Hydrafacial®
Hydrafacial uses a multi-step device to cleanse, extract, and hydrate the skin in one session. It removes impurities while infusing the skin with antioxidants, peptides, and moisturizers. The treatment is gentle, non-invasive, and suitable for all skin types, and many patients use it regularly to maintain clarity and hydration.
Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion uses a device with fine crystals that gently exfoliate the top layer of skin. This process helps remove dead skin cells and surface debris and leaves your skin smoother and more even. It’s often used for dullness, fine lines, and superficial texture concerns. The treatment is quick, and there’s little to no downtime.
Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning involves using a sterile blade to manually exfoliate the outer layer of dead skin and remove vellus hair. This treatment provides a smoother surface and improves how skincare products absorb. The results are immediate, and the process is gentle enough for sensitive skin.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels use carefully selected acids to exfoliate the skin and encourage cell turnover. The depth of the peel can be adjusted to treat different concerns, from fine lines to pigmentation irregularities. This skin resurfacing option is used to improve texture, tone, and brightness.
Acne Treatments
Acne treatments target oil production, bacteria, inflammation, and clogged pores. Depending on the type and severity of your acne, we may recommend chemical peels, light therapy, extractions, microneedling, or more. Topical solutions and in-office treatments can work together to reduce breakouts and prevent new ones from forming.
What to Expect Before, During, and After Your Treatments
Before your appointment, we will talk with you about your skin concerns and goals. You may need to stop using certain products, like retinoids or acids, a few days in advance to prevent irritation. With most treatments, you will need to avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanners.
During your visit, we will review your plan and answer any final questions. We will cleanse your skin and prepare the area before starting your treatment. Most treatments are comfortable, and many, such as hydrafacials, are even relaxing.
After your treatment, you may see some redness and swelling, and your skin may feel more sensitive. We will give you clear instructions on how to care for your skin at home. Avoid harsh products, direct sun, and exercise for the first day or two after any treatment. To maintain your results, we may recommend a series of treatments or schedule touch-ups at regular intervals.
Common Questions About Skin Treatments
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
The number of sessions depends on what you want to treat and which technology we use. Some treatments, like Hydrafacial or dermaplaning, can give immediate benefits but work best when performed regularly. Others, such as RF microneedling or IPL, often require a series of sessions spaced a few weeks apart to build results gradually.
Can These Treatments Be Combined?
We often combine treatments to address multiple concerns at once or to build stronger results. For example, a patient with sun damage and laxity may benefit from a resurfacing laser followed by a skin treatment that stimulates collagen. Pairing modalities allows us to treat texture, tone, and structure within the same plan. We will guide you on which combinations are safe and effective depending on your skin type, previous treatments, and long-term goals.
Are Results Permanent?
Results can last for months or even longer, but your skin will continue to age and respond to environmental factors. Collagen-based improvements often build over time and can be maintained with periodic touch-ups. Hair removal and fat reduction treatments may offer long-term changes, but some regrowth or volume return is possible depending on your biology and lifestyle. We will help you set realistic expectations and discuss how to maintain results with ongoing care.
