What Are Skin Rejuvenation Treatments?
Skin rejuvenation refers to a set of minimally invasive cosmetic treatments that target visible signs of aging, environmental damage, and uneven texture or tone. At Aeterna Aesthetic, we specialize in three highly effective methods:
- Microneedling: Stimulates collagen and elastin production by creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin, improving fine lines, scars, and texture.
- Chemical Peels: Use medical-grade solutions to exfoliate damaged outer layers, revealing fresher, healthier skin beneath.
- Laser Treatments: Harness precise light energy to resurface skin, reduce pigmentation, and improve overall clarity.
These treatments can be used individually or combined for more comprehensive rejuvenation, depending on your skin’s condition and your personal goals.
Proven Benefits of Skin Rejuvenation
Our patients choose these treatments because they offer noticeable improvements without surgery or lengthy downtime:
- Smoother, more even skin texture
- Reduction in fine lines and wrinkles
- Lightening of sun spots and hyperpigmentation
- Improved firmness and elasticity
- Minimized appearance of scars and pores
- Brighter, healthier-looking complexion
How Each Treatment Works
Microneedling
Using a specialized device, microneedling creates thousands of microchannels in the skin’s surface. This triggers the body’s natural healing response, stimulating collagen and elastin production. Over time, skin becomes firmer, smoother, and more refined.
Chemical Peels
A medical-grade solution is applied to exfoliate the outer layers of skin. The depth of the peel (light, medium, or deep) is customized to your needs. As the skin regenerates, you’ll see improved tone, reduced pigmentation, and a refreshed appearance.
Laser Treatments
Our advanced laser technology delivers concentrated light energy to target imperfections while stimulating collagen production. Depending on your goals, we can focus on resurfacing for texture, pigment correction for discoloration, or overall skin tightening.

FAQs About Skin Rejuvenation in South Texas
Do these treatments hurt?
Most patients describe microneedling and non-ablative lasers as mildly uncomfortable, similar to a prickling or warming sensation. Chemical peels can cause tingling or temporary stinging. We offer numbing and cooling techniques to keep you comfortable.
How many sessions will I need?
For best results, microneedling is often done in a series of 3–6 sessions, chemical peels every 4–6 weeks, and laser treatments depending on your goals and skin condition.
Are the results permanent?
Skin rejuvenation improves your current skin condition, but aging and sun exposure will continue. Regular maintenance treatments and good skincare help prolong results.
Can I combine treatments?
Yes. Many patients combine microneedling with PRP, or alternate peels and laser sessions for more dramatic improvement. We’ll guide you on safe and effective combinations.
Will I need downtime?
Downtime varies from none (for light peels and microneedling) to about a week (for deeper peels or more aggressive lasers).
Can I wear makeup after my treatment?
You should avoid makeup for at least 24 hours after microneedling or a chemical peel, and for 48–72 hours after certain laser treatments. This allows your skin to heal and reduces the risk of irritation or infection.
Are there any side effects?
Mild redness, swelling, or flaking is common and temporary. These effects usually subside within a few days. Rarely, patients may experience prolonged irritation or pigment changes, which is why it’s important to choose a qualified provider like Dr. Alsubaie.
Can these treatments help with acne scars?
Yes. Microneedling, chemical peels, and certain laser treatments are effective for improving the appearance of mild to moderate acne scars by stimulating collagen and resurfacing the skin.
Is there a best time of year to do skin rejuvenation?
Fall and winter are often ideal since sun exposure is lower, reducing the risk of post-treatment pigmentation changes. However, with diligent sun protection, treatments can be performed year-round.
Will my skin peel after every treatment?
Not always. Light chemical peels and microneedling may not cause visible peeling, while medium peels and certain lasers can produce noticeable flaking or shedding. This is part of the skin renewal process and is temporary.
