Skin Texture
Smooth, even skin texture is something a lot of people chase for years with products that only go so far. When the concern runs deeper than the surface, clinical treatments that work at the level of the skin's structure tend to produce the most meaningful results. At MD Cosmetic, we offer a range of texture-focused treatments at our Port Moody and Abbotsford clinics, from gentle exfoliation to deeper collagen-stimulating options.
What Causes Uneven Skin Texture?
Skin texture concerns develop for a variety of reasons, and often several factors are at play at once. The most common contributing causes include:
- Dead skin cell buildup: When skin cells do not shed efficiently, they accumulate on the surface and create a rough, dull appearance.
- Acne and scarring: Breakouts that damage the skin's underlying tissue leave behind textural irregularities that persist long after healing.
- Sun damage: Prolonged UV exposure breaks down collagen and disrupts the skin's surface, contributing to roughness and uneven tone.
- Aging: As collagen and elastin production slows with age, skin loses the structural support that keeps it smooth and firm.
- Enlarged pores: Congested or stretched pores contribute to an uneven skin surface that reads as rough or textured.
Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on the underlying cause. Surface-level texture often responds well to exfoliation treatments like dermaplaning or chemical peels, while deeper concerns like acne scarring typically require collagen-stimulating treatments like microneedling or Morpheus8. Our team will assess your skin and recommend the right approach during your consultation.
Some treatments like dermaplaning and HydraFacial deliver immediate results, while collagen-stimulating options like microneedling and Morpheus8 produce results that build over a series of sessions. Our team will give you a realistic timeline based on your specific concerns.
Yes. Many patients benefit from a combination approach, such as pairing dermaplaning with a chemical peel, or following microneedling with PRF add-ons. Our team will build a combined plan where it makes sense for your skin.
Results from collagen-stimulating treatments tend to be long-lasting, though ongoing maintenance treatments help sustain improvement over time. Surface exfoliation treatments are best maintained with regular sessions.
