Skin Rejuvenation

Our skin, while extremely durable and protective, is constantly threatened by the sun, aging, and a variety of skin disorders. These can contribute to a range of skin irregularities, such as wrinkles, pigmentation changes (sunspots, freckles), acne scars, and visible blood vessels (varicose veins).

Utilizing trusted products and latest procedures, providers at UPMC can help improve the appearance of your skin, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, firm up areas that may have lost tone.
