What Kinds of Cosmetic Dermatology Procedures Are Offered for Children?

January 7, 2022 By Conor DeSantis

Cosmetic dermatology procedures help with having clear, smooth, better-looking skin. While you may think most cosmetic treatments are only for adults, children can also benefit from them – especially for skin issues like acne, hyperpigmentation, and scarring.

Let’s talk about some of the cosmetic dermatology procedures that are frequently performed on children in the interest of their self-confidence, and where you can go in Miami and across South Florida for outstanding dermatology care for the whole family.

Cosmetic Dermatology Techniques Often Performed on Children’s Skin

Some of the most popular dermatological procedures that are performed on children include the following:

Glycolic Peels

Children in their teens can have chemical peels to address rough skin texture, uneven skin tone, and hyperpigmentation left behind by acne. It can even help prevent and treat acne by gently removing the top layers of the skin, and taking along with it blackheads, whiteheads, and pimples, and encouraging the growth of healthy skin.

Glycolic peels can also remove early signs of sun damage, 23% of which usually occurs before the age of 18.

Microdermabrasion

To treat teen acne and to minimize the appearance of acne scarring, a skilled dermatologist can perform microdermabrasion. This involves the use of a tool that delivers a fine jet of crystals over the skin.

Similar to a glycolic acid peel, it exfoliates the skin, removing the topmost layer of dead skin cells which can contribute to the development of acne.

Beta Lift Peels

A beta lift peel is a superficial peel that involves the use of beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), which are organic fruit acids. It can help teens who have mild to severe acne, and it can smooth out rough skin that is the result of acne.

Beta lift peels are very mild and can be used on all types of skin, including sensitive skin.

Fraxel Laser Treatments

The scars that acne leaves behind can cause severe self-consciousness in teens. Fraxel laser is used to treat atrophic scars (depressed scars or indented skin scarring) using microscopic laser beams. It can greatly reduce the appearance of acne scars anywhere on the body.

Intralesional Corticosteroid Treatment for Acne Cysts

Your dermatologist can make deep acne nodules and cysts go away by injecting corticosteroids directly into the acne. Cortisone is a powerful anti-inflammatory that makes acne shrink and improves its appearance.
