Corrective Skin Treatments
CryoClear® Treatment
CryoClear® gently freezes dead skin cells in the upper layer of the skin to treat age spots, sun spots and skin tags. CryoClear® takes about 10 minutes to complete, is painless, and there is no downtime from your normal activities after the treatment. 90% of clients will see complete resolution after their first CryoClear® treatment. You can expect the treated area to turn darker for a few days and then see pink healthy tissue appear as your body heals the treated area. It is recommended you use a mineral-based sunscreen following treatment.

Other Skin Conditions and treatments
Enlarged Pores
Pores are the opening of the hair follicle onto the surface of the skin. As pores increase in size, they are more susceptible to accumulating dirt and bacteria. As dirt, bacteria and debris collects within the pore, it enlarges even more, making it noticeable to the naked eye.
Additional Facts About Enlarged Pores:
People who are born with thick or oily skin are more prone to developing large pores
Aging and repeated sun exposure can also contribute to large pores
Most enlarged pores on the face are the result of hereditary factors
Considerations: HydraFacial MD, PRP Facial, chemical peels, Microneedling
Acne
Acne is a skin condition that occurs when your hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells. It often causes whiteheads, blackheads, or pimples and usually appears on the face, forehead, chin, and upper back. Acne is most common among teenagers, though it affects people of all ages. Depending on its severity, acne can cause emotional distress, scars, and hyperpigmentation. Effective treatments are available, but acne can be persistent. The earlier you start treatment, the lower your risk of complications. Dr. Hong is specialized to treat acne in all ages.
Considerations: HydraFacial MD, possible prescriptive treatments
Acne Scars
Acne scars are usually the result of inflamed blemishes caused by skin pores engorged with excess oil, dead skin cells and bacteria. The pore swells, causing a break in the follicle wall. Shallow lesions are usually minor and heal quickly. But if there is a deep break in the wall of the pore, infected material can spill out into surrounding tissue, creating deeper lesions. The skin attempts to repair these lesions by forming new collagen fibers. These repairs usually aren’t as smooth and flawless as the original skin.
Types of Acne Scars:
Hypertrophic or keloid scarring: These scars are caused when the body produces too much collagen as acne wounds heal, resulting in a mass of raised tissue on the skin’s surface.
Atrophic or depressed scarring: These scars develop when there is a loss of tissue. There are two common types of atrophic scarring. “Icepick” scars are usually small, yet obvious holes in the skin. “Boxcar” scars are depressed areas, usually round or oval in shape with steeply angled sides, similar to chickenpox scars.
Considerations: PRP Facial, chemical peels, HydraFacial MD, BTL Exilis
Rosacea
Rosacea is a common skin condition that causes redness and visible blood vessels in your face. It may also produce small, red, pus-filled bumps. These signs and symptoms may flare up for a period of weeks to months and then diminish for a while.
Additional Facts About Rosacea:
More than 3 million cases per year in the US
Can last for years or be lifelong (chronic)
Most commonly affects middle-aged women with fair skin
It can be mistaken for acne or other skin conditions
Left untreated, it tends to worsen over time
Considerations: chemical peels, HydraFacial MD
Melasma
Melasma is a common skin problem. It causes brown to gray-brown patches on the face. Most people get it on their cheeks, bridge of their nose, forehead, chin, and above their upper lip. It also can appear on other parts of the body exposed to the sun.
Additional Facts About Melasma:
Melasma can be due to hormonal changes or from sun exposure
Women are much more likely than men to develop this condition
Heredity and genetic predisposition can also be a factor
One of the most common treatments for melasma is sun protection
Considerations: VI Peel, Microneedling, HydraFacial MD
Thin and Short Lashes
Glamorous and bountiful eyelashes have been considered one of the most attractive features for women throughout the decades. For women who do not naturally possess thick, long eyelashes, some of the solutions can be uncomfortable, or damaging. The most recommended correction for short or thin eyelashes is LATISSE®. LATISSE® is a FDA-approved treatment to grow eyelashes for people with inadequate or not enough lashes.
Considerations: LATISSE®
