Conditions for Skin Rejuvenation in Cincinnati
Everyone’s skin is different, but there are common conditions that can impact the health and appearance of your skin:
Natural Aging
As we age, our skin stops producing as much elastin, collagen, and natural oils, making it less elastic and more fragile. This is why aging skin develops:
- Wrinkles and fine lines
- Skin laxity
Ultraviolet Light (UV)
The sun and artificial UV light sources, such as tanning beds, produce UV light, which can easily damage skin. Ultraviolet light is commonly responsible for the following conditions:
- Sun spots
- Premature aging
- Wrinkles and fine lines
- HyperpigmentationSmoking
Generally, smokers tend to have more wrinkles than non-smokers, and smoking is known to speed up the skin’s normal aging process.
Chemical Substances
Some skin care products include certain chemical substances that can negatively impact the skin’s well-being. Abrasive chemical substances can lead to skin flakiness, dryness, and hyperpigmentation.
Once our skin care professionals determine what conditions are impacting your skin, they will create a personalized treatment plan to help you start your journey to more youthful skin.
Skin Rejuvenation in Cincinnati Procedures
Amy Brenner, MD & Associates offers the following skin rejuvenation techniques that can make a lasting impact on your skin’s look and feel. Each treatment is minimally invasive and can often be paired with others to help you achieve the look you want.
Sculptra
This FDA-approved injectable features a poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) collagen stimulator that restores optimal collagen production. Collagen is an essential structural protein that gives strength and support to your skin.
Our providers use Sculptra to treat the following skin issues:
- Volume loss
- Smile and fine lines
- Collagen loss
- Skin laxity
- Wrinkles
Because Sculptra is a progressive treatment, we often recommend patients get a series of injections to see the best results.
Treatment Time
A single Sculptra treatment takes 30 minutes. We’ll give you a topical anesthetic to keep you comfortable during the injection.
Treatment Recovery and Results
Most patients need minimal to no downtime and can return for additional treatments in about 4 to 6 weeks. After completing your treatment plan, you’ll see some volume increase, but gradual, natural-looking results will gradually appear within a few months. Most patients see results for up to 2 years.
Forever Young BBL
The Forever Young BBL is another collagen-stimulating treatment option to provide skin rejuvenation in Cincinnati. This technology can treat the face, neck, and other areas of the body.
Our team uses Forever Young BBL to treat the following skin conditions:
- Age spots and sun damage
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Freckles
- Redness, rosacea, and flushing
- Small facial vessels
- Enlarged pores
- Skin laxity
Most patients will see the best results by getting 3 to 5 treatments spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart. If you’re looking for anti-aging results, we recommend making BBL Forever Young part of your annual skin care program; 3 to 5 treatments a year can provide valuable skin maintenance.
Treatment Time
During the treatment, you’ll wear a protective headband and eyewear to create a clean, smooth skin surface. One BBL session takes 15 to 45 minutes and is pain-free; you may feel a slight warming on your skin.
Treatment Recovery and Results
Before leaving our office, we’ll apply hydrating cream and sunblock to protect your skin. You may notice the following after your treatment:
- The skin we treat may look flushed or red for a few hours after BBL
- Areas of your skin with prominent pigmentation may become darker for 10 to 14 days
- On rare occasions, you may notice minor swelling
After multiple BBL sessions, our clients see improvements in their skin. In addition to slowing the signs of aging, treatment also improves skin tone and feel.

Morpheus8
Morpheus8 (RF Microneedling) combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) technology. Recognized for our excellence, our team of skincare experts has been ranked in the top 10% of North American providers for this groundbreaking procedure
- Microneedling uses small needles to penetrate the skin, which triggers the skin to heal itself, creating new collagen.
- Radiofrequency generates heat, tightening the skin and reshaping unwanted fat. It’s a wonderful neck and jowl contouring treatment.
We use Morpheus8 to treat:
- Fine and deep lines
- Skin texture and wrinkles
- Skin laxity and sagging
- Acne and chicken pox scars
- Sun damage
- Stretch marks and surgical scars
- Hyperhidrosis
Depending on your goals, most patients see the best results when completing at least 3 Morpheus8 treatments in the recommended time frame.
Treatment Time
The duration of the Morpheus8 procedure varies depending on the treated area. We allocate extra time to prioritize patient comfort, incorporating the application of numbing cream to minimize any discomfort during the procedure.
In addition, patients can choose self-administered nitrous oxide to alleviate any discomfort or stress during the session. This gas will leave your system after 10 minutes.
Treatment Recovery and Results
Our skincare team has developed a comprehensive post-procedure protocol to maximize your results. Expect some redness in the treated area for 1 to 2 days post-procedure. Adhering to the recommended protocol will ensure a swift recovery process. Visible results may be noticeable in as little as 3 weeks post treatment, with full results seen 90 days post last procedure.
Pixel CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing
We recommend Pixel CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing for patients seeking skin rejuvenation in Cincinnati who want the most results with one treatment. This laser treatment removes columns of skin, these micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing response, leading to collagen production and skin rejuvenation.
This treatment is ideal for correcting the following conditions:
- Dull or sallow skin
- Skin with splotchy or uneven tone
- Sun damage
- Aging skin and fine lines
- Deep wrinkles and skin laxity
- Acne scars
- Large pores
Patients may need 1 to 3 treatments spaced 8 to 12 weeks apart.
Treatment Time
A single treatment takes 40 to 60 minutes. Before treatment begins, we’ll apply numbing cream to the area and provide you with nitrous oxide gas, which you can self-administer if you experience discomfort. We also use the Zimmer cooler to provide relief during the treatment. While this procedure isn’t painful, you may experience a rapid, warm, snapping sensation against your skin.
Treatment Recovery and Results
After your treatment, we’ll apply a post-procedure mask and discuss your post-care instructions. We’ll also schedule a follow-up appointment to monitor your results in the next 2 to 3 days. Most patients recover in 5 to 10 days and begin seeing results in 14 days. You’ll see full results in 6 months.
Cosmetic Threading
Cosmetic threading involves placing sutures under the skin. This lifts the skin, and the newly formed collagen continues to support the skin’s structure even after the sutures naturally dissolve. This technique for skin rejuvenation in Cincinnati is often referred to as the “lunch-time facelift,” thanks to its quick treatment time and noticeable results.
We use this procedure to treat:
- Heavy brows and hollow eyes
- Sagging skin and flattened cheeks
- Lip shape and facial lines
- Acne and body scars
- Treatment Time
One session lasts 30 minutes to an hour. Before starting the procedure, your provider will cleanse your skin. Next, they will insert the thread using a needle. You can use ProNox to help ease any discomfort you may experience during the procedure.
Treatment Recovery and Results
Patients can return to their normal routine immediately. For the next few weeks, you may notice some discomfort while chewing and talking, depending on the placement.
You’ll immediately notice results, which should continue even after the sutures dissolve. Results will remain for 12 to 15 months.
Dermal Fillers
We also achieve skin rejuvenation in Cincinnati by using a variety of dermal fillers to help restore volume in many areas of the face, including the cheeks, lips, jawline, under eyes and more.
For a full eight-point lift that helps to lift and restore lost volume, our injection process normally lasts about 30 minutes. For more minimal injection areas, such as the nasolabial folds or lip lines, total injection time may be much less.
