Microneedling is a physician-directed treatment that stimulates your skin’s natural repair process to improve fine lines, acne scarring, texture irregularities, and overall tone. Using a series of precise, controlled micro-channels, microneedling activates collagen and elastin production while enhancing the absorption of medical-grade serums applied during treatment.

As new collagen forms in the weeks following the procedure, the skin becomes smoother, firmer, and more radiant. Microneedling is safe for most skin types and can be customized in depth and technique based on your individual goals.

Most patients complete a series of treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart, with maintenance sessions every 6–12 months to sustain results. When combined with neuromodulators or IPL, microneedling contributes to a more comprehensive rejuvenation strategy by improving texture while other modalities address tone and dynamic lines.

Chemical peels use carefully selected medical-grade solutions to exfoliate the outer layers of the skin and stimulate renewal underneath. At Coastal Aesthetic Physicians, peels are physician-directed and customized in depth and strength based on your skin type, pigment pattern, and goals.

Peels can improve sun damage, uneven tone, fine lines, dullness, and certain types of acne or post-inflammatory discoloration. As the treated skin gently sheds over several days, fresher, smoother, and more even-toned skin is revealed.

Most patients do a series of light to medium-depth peels spaced several weeks apart, with maintenance treatments as needed. Peels can be combined with IPL and microneedling as part of a comprehensive skin rejuvenation plan—peels refine texture and tone at the surface, while other treatments address deeper pigment, vessels, and collagen.

OptiLight by Lumenis is an advanced, medical-grade IPL platform designed to safely and effectively treat redness, pigmentation, and sun damage while improving overall skin brightness. Unlike older IPL systems, OptiLight uses precision-engineered filters and uniform pulse technology to deliver more consistent energy, allowing us to target discoloration and vascular changes with exceptional accuracy.

During treatment, controlled pulses of light penetrate the skin to break up unwanted pigment, calm dilated facial vessels, and stimulate collagen remodeling beneath the surface. Over the following weeks, skin becomes clearer, smoother, and more even-toned — with improved texture and a natural, refreshed glow.

Every treatment at Coastal Aesthetic Physicians is physician-directed and customized to your skin type, pattern of discoloration, and overall goals. OptiLight is safe for most skin types, comfortable, and requires minimal downtime. Most patients complete a series of sessions for optimal results, with visible improvements building after each visit.

From sun damage and redness to wrinkles, acne, and dull skin, Coastal Aesthetic Physicians offers a full range of minimally invasive treatments tailored to your needs — always with a focus on natural results and low downtime.
