Acne - San Antonio
Acne is the most frequent skin condition seen by medical professionals. It consists of pimples that appear on the face, back and chest. About 80% of adolescents have some form of acne and about 5% of adults experience acne. In normal skin, oil glands under the skin, known as sebaceous glands, produce an oily substance called sebum.
Moles (Nevi) - San Antonio
Moles are brown or black growths, usually round or oval, that can appear anywhere on the skin. They can be rough or smooth, flat or raised, single or in multiples. They occur when cells that are responsible for skin pigmentation, known as melanocytes, grow in clusters instead of being spread out across the skin. Generally, moles are less than one-quarter inch in size. Most moles appear by the age of 20, although some moles may appear later in life.
Psoriasis - San Antonio
Psoriasis is a skin condition that creates red patches of skin with white, flaky scales. It most commonly occurs on the elbows, knees and trunk, but can appear anywhere on the body. The first episode usually strikes between the ages of 15 and 35. It is a chronic condition that will then cycle through flare-ups and remissions throughout the rest of the patient's life. Psoriasis affects as many as 7.5 million people in the United States. About 20,000 children under age 10 have been diagnosed with psoriasis.
Rashes - San Antonio
"Rash" is a general term for a wide variety of skin conditions. A rash refers to a change that affects the skin and usually appears as a red patch or small bumps or blisters on the skin. The majority of rashes are harmless and can be treated effectively with over-the-counter anti-itch creams, antihistamines and moisturizing lotions.
Rosacea - San Antonio
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that causes facial redness, acne-like pimples, visible small blood vessels on the face, swelling and/or watery, irritated eyes. This inflammation of the face can affect the cheeks, nose, chin, forehead or eyelids. More than 14 million Americans suffer from rosacea. It is not contagious, but there is some evidence to suggest that it is inherited. There is no known cause or cure for rosacea. There is also no link between rosacea and cancer.
Skin Cancer - San Antonio
Skin cancer is the most common form of human cancers, affecting more than one million Americans every year. One in five Americans will develop skin cancer at some point in their lives. Skin cancers are generally curable if caught early. However, people who have had skin cancer are at a higher risk of developing a new skin cancer, which is why regular self-examination and doctor visits are imperative.
Warts - San Antonio
Warts are small, harmless growths that appear most frequently on the hands and feet. Sometimes they look flat and smooth, other times they have a dome-shaped or cauliflower-like appearance. Warts can be surrounded by skin that is either lighter or darker. Warts are caused by different forms of Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). They occur in people of all ages and can spread from person-to-person and from one part of the body to another. Warts are benign (noncancerous) and generally painless.
Wrinkles - San Antonio Skin Center
Wrinkles are a natural part of the aging process, most commonly appearing in sun-exposed areas such as the face, neck, hands, and forearms. Over time, skin becomes thinner, drier, and less elastic, leading to fine lines or deeper furrows.
In addition to sun exposure, factors like smoking, heredity, and skin type (fair hair, blue eyes, and light skin) can contribute to premature aging. To help protect your skin and prevent further damage, we recommend using antioxidant products and a broad-spectrum SPF daily. These measures help maintain healthier, more youthful-looking skin.

MicroChanneling - San Antonio Skin Center - ProCell
Microchanneling is a safe, non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that helps reduce the appearance of hyper-pigmentation, fine lines, and acne scars. With ProCell Microchanneling, your skin will feel refreshed, revitalized, and younger-looking!
MicroChanneling with PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) - San Antonio Skin Center - Vampire facial
Microchanneling with PRP is a non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment in which tiny needles create micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating your body’s natural growth factors and healing response using your own blood. This procedure preserves the top layer of skin (epidermis), reducing recovery time and minimizing side effects, while promoting smoother, healthier, and more youthful-looking skin.
MicroNeedling - San Antonio Skin Center
Micro-needling uses tiny, sterilized needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These small wounds stimulate your body to produce collagen and elastin, promoting the growth of new skin tissue to smooth, firm, and even out your skin tone.
MicroNeedling with PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) - San Antonio Skin Center
Micro-Needling with PRP is a rejuvenation therapy in which tiny needles create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, triggering growth factors and healing from your own blood. This cosmetic treatment stimulates collagen production by combining fine needle rolling with platelet-rich plasma application. Because the top layer of skin (epidermis) is preserved, recovery time and side effects are minimized, leaving your skin smoother, firmer, and refreshed.
Dermaplaning - San Antonio Skin Center
Dermaplaning uses a sterilized blade to gently exfoliate the outer layer of the skin, revealing healthier, more radiant skin. This treatment also enhances the absorption of topical products and serums, while helping to diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
