Daily life, sun damage and the passage of time can leave your skin looking dull or just not quite as vibrant as it once was. If you're seeking to restore that coveted healthy glow and put your best face forward, two popular treatments consistently provide beautiful results: Hydrafacial and chemical peels.  While both promise to refresh your appearance, the techniques and technology they use differ. Understanding how each treatment works and which aligns with your skincare goals can help you make the right choice for bringing your Skin to Life™. Hydrafacial vs. Chemical Peel: Quick Comparison Hydrafacial Chemical Peels Treatment Time 30 minutes 15-60 minutes depending on type Downtime None Light: 1-3 days, Medium: 1-2 weeks Results Immediate 3-14 days depending on peel depth Best For Maintenance, sensitive skin, busy lifestyles Sun damage, acne scars, deeper concerns Frequency Monthly for optimal results Every 3-12 months depending on type Comfort Relaxing and soothing Mild to moderate discomfort How Each Treatment Works: The Science Behind the Glow Hydrafacial Hydrafacial achieves its results through patented Vortex-Fusion technology that combines four essential skin care steps in one seamless treatment. The process begins with gentle cleansing and light peeling to remove dead skin cells, followed by painless extraction that suctions impurities from your pores while simultaneously infusing the skin with nourishing serums. There are different levels to Hydrafacial. The original, three-step treatment process includes cleansing, gentle exfoliation and hydration, but you can also add dermaplaning, lymphatic drainage, LED light therapy and booster serums to maximize your skin’s glow.  Chemical Peels Chemical peels take a more intensive approach to rejuvenation by using carefully formulated acids to remove the damaged outer layer of skin. This controlled process stimulates cellular turnover and the skin’s renewal process to reveal the fresher, healthier tissue underneath. The depth of treatment varies depending on the peel type. Light peels using glycolic or salicylic acid provide gentle exfoliation, while medium and deep peels penetrate further to address more significant concerns like sun damage and acne scarring. At RSMD, our expert team will customize your peel solution based on your specific needs and skin type.  The Treatment Experience: What to Expect The Hydrafacial Experience  Hydrafacial feels more like a luxury spa experience than a medical-grade treatment. The process is inherently relaxing, with each step designed to be gentle, soothing and calming. Many patients describe feeling pampered throughout the entire 30-minute session. At Resurrect Skin MD, you'll experience this treatment in our beautifully designed facility, where your comfort and relaxation are prioritized. The customizable nature of Hydrafacial allows Dr. Burns and his team to add specialized boosters targeting your specific concerns, whether that's hyperpigmentation, fine lines or simply improving the overall health of your skin.  The Chemical Peel Experience Compared to Hydrafacial, chemical peels require a little more preparation and aftercare planning. For about a week before your appointment, Dr. Burns and his team will advise you to avoid certain skincare products (particularly retinoids, acids and other exfoliants) and sun exposure to minimize possible irritation and ensure safe, reliable results.  During the application process, you might experience a warm, tingling sensation that intensifies based on the peel's strength. This temporary discomfort is tolerable and balanced by the more dramatic improvements these treatments provide. After an appropriate amount of time has passed, the peel will be neutralized and you’ll be free to return home. From start to finish, the full treatment process typically takes about 30 to 60 minutes to complete.  Results Timeline Hydrafacial Results Hydrafacial provides your skin with an instant glow. You’ll see a visibly brighter, smoother and more hydrated appearance immediately after your treatment with no redness or downtime, making it perfect for special events or when you need to look your best quickly.  While beautiful and refreshing, these results are primarily surface-level improvements. They typically last about four to six weeks, but incorporating Hydrafacial in your monthly skincare routine can help you maintain your radiant glow.  Chemical Peel Results  Chemical peels require more patience than Hydrafacial, but they also deliver more dramatic and longer-lasting results. After your chemical peel, your skin needs time to shed the treated layers and reveal the improved tone and texture beneath. Light peels show results in a few days, while those from deeper peels may take a week or two to fully develop.  There’s a trade-off for this waiting period. Chemical peels can address concerns that surface treatments simply cannot touch, including sun damage, acne scarring and textural issues. What Concerns Does Each Treatment Address? Hydrafacial excels at maintaining healthy skin and addressing surface-level concerns. It's particularly effective for dullness, mild congestion, fine lines and an uneven texture. It also works beautifully for sensitive skin that might not tolerate more aggressive treatments.  Chemical peels shine when targeting more stubborn, deep-seated concerns. Sun damage, acne scarring, hyperpigmentation and textural issues often require the deeper action that peels provide. The controlled injury from a chemical peel stimulates more dramatic collagen production and cellular renewal than gentler treatments can achieve. At Resurrect Skin MD, Dr. Burns often recommends Hydrafacial for monthly skin maintenance and prevention-focused care, while chemical peels are more suitable for patients who are dealing with more visible signs of aging and sun damage. The RSMD Approach: Combining Treatments for Optimal Results At Resurrect Skin MD, Dr. Burns and his team understand that beautiful skin rarely comes from infrequent treatments or a one-size-fits-all approach. His decades of experience in aesthetic medicine have shown him that strategically combining different treatments based on your skin's unique and evolving needs achieves the most radiant and longest-lasting results.  Many of our patients discover that alternating between Hydrafacial and chemical peels creates the perfect balance of maintenance and transformation. You might schedule monthly Hydrafacials to keep your skin consistently healthy and glowing, then incorporate a chemical peel every few months to address deeper concerns like pigmentation or acne scars. Our mission of bringing skin to life through science, care and compassion guides every treatment recommendation. Dr. Burns' decades of experience in aesthetic medicine ensure you'll receive expert guidance tailored to your unique skin type, concerns and lifestyle. Ready to Discover Which Treatment Is Right for You? The choice between Hydrafacial or a chemical peel ultimately depends on your concerns and goals. During your consultation at RSMD, we'll evaluate your skin, discuss your expectations and create a personalized plan that delivers the radiant glow you're seeking. Whether you choose the instant gratification of Hydrafacial or the more transformative power of a chemical peel, you'll experience the difference that comes from working with true experts who understand how to achieve beautiful, natural-looking results. Ready to discover which treatment will give you the glow you've been dreaming of?

Traditional hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are a popular choice known for their immediate results, but what if you're looking for something different?  For patients who want more dynamic results that age gracefully and move with you, Sculptra®, a collagen stimulator, and the RHA® Collection, a line of fillers designed to adapt to your facial expressions, offer unmatched longevity and a refreshingly natural look.  The Collagen Stimulating Effects of Sculptra  Traditional fillers add volume to specific areas to smooth away lines, wrinkles and creases. Sculptra, a collagen stimulator, works differently. Instead of “filling in” wrinkles with hyaluronic acid, Sculptra stimulates the long-term production of collagen with poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) microparticles, a safe and FDA-approved substance that restores lost volume from within.  With Sculptra, your results look completely natural because they are. By increasing your body’s own collagen production, Sculptra helps rebuild the structural foundation of your skin, delivering lasting improvements that develop over several months and last for two years or more.  As collagen production peaks, the skin gains fullness. You’ll also notice enhanced skin quality, texture and elasticity. Since these effects appear gradually, Sculptra provides subtle and natural-looking rejuvenation. Instead of asking what kind of treatment or procedure you’ve had done, your friends will just notice that you look beautifully refreshed and revitalized.  The Flexibility of the RHA Collection Traditional HA fillers can sometimes create stiffness or an unnatural appearance, particularly in more dynamic areas with a lot of movement, such as around the lips and mouth.  The RHA Collection solves this challenge with an advanced, uniquely flexible gel that moves with you. Made using a heatless manufacturing process to create a resilient HA formula, the RHA Collection adapts to every facial expression for beautiful, natural-looking results.  The RHA collection includes four special formulas, each designed for specific treatment goals:  RHA 2 provides gentle correction for moderate lines and works beautifully for subtle lip enhancement or delicate undereye treatment.  RHA 3 addresses deeper creases while maintaining flexibility in dynamic areas like nasolabial folds.  RHA 4 offers comprehensive correction for severe wrinkles and can enhance facial contours without compromising natural expression.  RHA Redensity targets vertical lip lines, being the only FDA-approved filler designed for both superficial and deeper placement in this delicate area. Because RHA fillers adapt to your movements rather than restricting them, they tend to last longer than other brands. When your filler moves harmoniously with you, it experiences less stress and degradation, creating sustained and natural-looking results that age gracefully. Working With Your Skin, Not Against It While many injectable treatments are all about instant gratification, delivering results you can see right away, Sculptra and the RHA Collection are designed to provide more gradual improvements. These advanced treatments work with your body's natural processes rather than adding immediate volume that may look out of place as your features evolve over time. Sculptra's collagen-stimulating effects not only soften the appearance of lines and wrinkles but also restore your skin's structural support. The RHA Collection's flexible gel ensures your results adapt gracefully as your face changes. Both treatments provide a natural appearance because they integrate with your own tissue rather than simply occupying space. Which Treatment Is Right for Me? Making the choice between traditional fillers and advanced options like Sculptra or the RHA Collection depends on your goals, lifestyle and preferences. If you're looking for more immediate and dramatic changes, standard dermal fillers might be your best bet. However, if you value natural-looking results that improve over time and require less frequent maintenance, Sculptra and the RHA Collection deserve serious consideration. During your consultation at Resurrect Skin MD, we'll evaluate your facial structure, discuss your aesthetic goals and create a personalized treatment plan that may include one or both of these innovative options. Our goal is always to help you achieve results that look like the best version of yourself: refreshed, rejuvenated, and completely natural. Visualize Your Potential Results Wondering if you can "try on" Sculptra or RHA fillers and see how they could enhance your appearance? Our advanced AI simulator lets you explore different options and preview your potential results! No commitment required, just the confidence that comes from visualizing your possibilities.  Get Started for Free Combining Both Treatments for Comprehensive Results  At RSMD, many patients find that combining Sculptra and RHA fillers provides the most comprehensive and natural-looking results. This strategic approach allows us to address different aspects of facial aging while maximizing the unique benefits of each product.  A typical combination might involve using Sculptra to restore overall facial volume in areas like the cheeks and temples, while an RHA filler targets specific concerns, such as nasolabial folds or marionette lines. While you enjoy the immediate results from RHA fillers, Sculptra continues working behind the scenes to build collagen and enhance your skin's foundation.  What to Expect During Treatment Both Sculptra and RHA fillers are administered comfortably in our office, though each offers a distinctly different experience. Sculptra sessions typically take about 30-45 minutes and involve a series of small injections using a very fine needle. Since Sculptra works gradually, you won't see dramatic changes immediately. Instead, you'll notice subtle improvements emerging over the following weeks and months as your collagen production increases. RHA injections provide immediate visible results and usually take 15-30 minutes to complete, depending on the areas treated. The flexible gel integrates smoothly into your tissue, and you can see the enhancement right away. Both treatments involve minimal discomfort, and we can apply a topical numbing cream, if requested. You’ll be able to sit back and relax in a massaging chair in one of our beautifully designed numbing rooms while it takes effect.  The recovery for both treatments is straightforward, with most patients returning to work and normal activities the same day. You may experience some mild swelling or tenderness at injection sites, but this typically resolves within a few days. We'll provide detailed aftercare instructions to optimize your results and ensure the smoothest possible healing process.

What began as a single treatment offering has expanded to numerous innovative products, each thoughtfully engineered to address different patient needs and preferences. The biggest names in neurotoxins today include Botox, Dysport and Daxxify.  Understanding the differences between these three popular treatments can help you make an informed decision about which option is right for you. Each one brings something different to the table, from speed of results to duration of effects, making your choice highly personal and tailored to your unique goals and lifestyle.  How Neurotoxins Work Their Magic Botox, Dysport and Daxxify: all three treatments contain a purified form of botulinum toxin type A, a neurotoxin that temporarily blocks the nerve signals that trigger muscle movement. When injected into a targeted muscle, neurotoxins smooth dynamic lines and wrinkles caused by repetitive facial expressions like frowning, squinting or smiling. The beauty of neurotoxins lies in their precision. Rather than affecting your entire face, they target specific muscle groups responsible for creating unwanted lines. This selective approach means you maintain natural facial expressions while enjoying smoother skin in treated areas. With consistent use, neurotoxins can also help prevent new lines from forming by reducing the repetitive muscle movements that cause wrinkles over time. Botox: The Time-Tested Standard Botox has earned its reputation as the world’s most popular wrinkle relaxer for good reason. Since its FDA approval for cosmetic use in 2002, it has set the standard for treating dynamic facial wrinkles, with millions of successful treatments performed each year. Onset & Duration Botox typically shows full results after two weeks, but you may begin seeing a softening of dynamic lines and wrinkles within four to seven days. The effects generally last three to four months, making it predictable for planning touch-up appointments. Best Applications Botox's formulation provides excellent precision, making it ideal for targeting specific areas like crow's feet and frown lines between the eyebrows. Its controlled spread allows for detailed work in smaller treatment zones where accuracy matters most. Dysport: The Fast-Acting Alternative Dysport entered the U.S. market in 2009 and quickly gained popularity for its unique characteristics. Many patients report seeing results within 24-48 hours, making it ideal for those who want a quicker onset of action. Onset & Duration The effects of Dysport start to appear within three to three days, with full results developing in about a week, giving a slight edge in speed compared to Botox. Dysport lasts for three to four months, but some people may experience results lasting up to five months. Like Botox, most people schedule touch-ups around the three to four month mark. Best Applications Dysport has a slightly thinner consistency than Botox, which allows it to spread and diffuse more easily. This makes it particularly effective for larger treatment areas like the forehead, where you want smooth, even coverage. Dysport’s wider diffusion pattern can also create a softer, “feathering” effect that some patients prefer. However, this requires precise injection techniques to avoid affecting unintended facial muscles. Daxxify: The Longest-Lasting Option On September 7, 2022, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Daxxify for cosmetic use, marking a significant advancement in neurotoxin technology. This newest option features a unique, proprietary formulation that lasts nearly twice as long as Botox or Dysport.  Onset & Duration Daxxify is made with Peptide Exchange Technology™ (PXT), a breakthrough in the neurotoxin market that enhances its performance as a wrinkle relaxer. Daxxify typically starts working within one to three days and shows full results after 10 to 14 days. Once results appear, they can last for six months (or even longer in some patients), significantly reducing the frequency of maintenance treatments.  Best Applications Currently FDA-approved for treating glabellar lines (the "11s" between your eyebrows), Daxxify works well for patients seeking durable results with fewer maintenance visits. Its PXT formula provides long-lasting wrinkle reduction while maintaining natural facial expressions. Finding Your Perfect Match Which of these three neurotoxins you choose for your treatment should align with your lifestyle, goals and preferences. For more precise work around the eyes or between the brows, Botox offers proven and reliable results backed by years of clinical data. Dysport's ability to spread more easily makes it a good choice for larger areas like the forehead, while Daxxify works well for patients wanting a longer-lasting option and fewer appointments throughout the year. Your schedule also plays a role in finding the right treatment for you. If you travel frequently or just tend to have a packed calendar, you may prefer the longevity of Daxxify. Although the overall cost per treatment is higher, the annual expense often evens out, as you’ll only need two Daxxify treatments a year compared to three or four with Dysport or Botox. However, if you’re new to wrinkle relaxers, you might prefer to start with a shorter-lived treatment option.  And finally, because each of us is biologically unique, you may find that one product lasts longer or provides better results. People can respond differently to certain formulations, making trial and adjustment an important part of finding your perfect match. Working with experienced providers like those at Resurrect Skin MD can help you find the most sustainable option for you based on your unique facial anatomy, goals and treatment history. The Resurrect Skin MD Advantage At Resurrect Skin MD, Dr. Burns and his experienced team understand that choosing the right neurotoxin involves more than just comparing duration and onset times. Your facial anatomy, muscle movement patterns, lifestyle needs and aesthetic goals all factor into the equation.

Instead of scalpels or downtime, these treatments use targeted heat to jumpstart your body’s own collagen and elastin production. The result is skin that looks firmer, lifted, and naturally refreshed. At RSMD, we’ve carefully selected two of the most effective, proven RF devices on the market, Sofwave™ and Indiba® RF, because we believe you deserve treatments that are safe, backed by science, and able to deliver real results. Why RF for Skin Tightening? To understand why Sofwave and Indiba are so powerful, you first need to know the 'why' behind sagging skin. As we age, collagen and elastin (the proteins that keep skin youthful and resilient) break down faster than they’re replaced. Add sun exposure, stress, and gravity, and the skin starts to lose its firmness and elasticity. Radiofrequency treatments work by delivering precisely controlled heat energy into the deeper layers of the skin, where collagen lives. That heat kick-starts your body’s natural healing process: Immediate effect: Tightening existing collagen fibers for a subtle lift. Long-term effect: Stimulating new collagen and elastin production over time. The best part is, this is all happening without incisions, sutures or downtime. Sofwave™: A Smarter Way to Lift and Tighten Think of Sofwave as the “reset button” for aging skin. Unlike older ultrasound and RF technologies that could be uncomfortable or unpredictable, Sofwave uses synchronous ultrasound parallel beam technology to precisely deliver heat at the mid-dermis, the exact layer where collagen remodeling happens. That means it stimulates new collagen while leaving the skin’s surface completely intact. How It Helps Your Skin By heating the dermal layer, Sofwave contracts existing collagen fibers for an immediate, subtle lift while jumpstarting the natural process of collagen and elastin regeneration. Over the weeks and months that follow, your skin continues to tighten and smooth, creating firmer contours and a refreshed appearance that still looks entirely natural. FDA-Cleared Confidence Sofwave is FDA-cleared to lift the eyebrows, submental tissue (under the chin), and the neck, making it one of the few devices with proven safety and efficacy for these delicate, high-impact areas. For patients concerned about jowls, drooping brows, or a less-defined jawline, Sofwave offers a reliable solution with results that last 12–18 months. The Patient Experience Treatments take about 30–45 minutes and are performed right in our Dallas office. Thanks to its built-in cooling technology, most patients describe the sensation as quick pulses of warmth. "Snappy," but very tolerable. No anesthesia, no injections, and no downtime are required, meaning you can return to your normal activities immediately after. Indiba® RF: Collagen Stimulation Meets Cellular Health Indiba® is more than another skin-tightening device. It’s one of the most versatile RF systems available today. Using its unique proionic radiofrequency technology at 448 kHz, Indiba gently heats tissue beneath the skin’s surface to restore balance at the cellular level. How It Helps Your Skin By gradually warming the dermis, Indiba smooths, tightens, and contours treated areas while reducing the appearance of cellulite and uneven fat distribution. Unlike aggressive treatments that force dramatic change, Indiba works with your body to stimulate circulation, boost cellular metabolism, and encourage natural repair processes for results that look progressive and authentic. How It Helps Your Body Indiba’s benefits extend beyond aesthetics. It’s scientifically proven to reduce chronic joint and muscle pain by improving circulation and accelerating tissue restoration. That makes it an ideal addition to post-surgical recovery plans, helping patients heal faster and often reducing the need for pain medication. The Patient Experience Treatments are painless, with most patients describing the sensation as a gentle warmth that feels more like a therapeutic massage than a medical procedure. There’s no downtime and no recovery period, so you can leave the office and go right back to your day. While many notice improvements after the first session, results continue to build with a series of treatments, creating firmer, healthier, more radiant skin over time. Which One Is Best for You? One of the most common questions we hear is: “Should I do Sofwave or Indiba?” The truth is, both treatments work beautifully. It just depends on your goals. When to Choose Sofwave™ Consider Sofwave if you’re experiencing: Sagging brows that make your eyes look tired Early jowling or loss of jawline definition Lines or laxity under the chin (“tech neck”) Loose skin on the neck We also recommend Sofwave if you: Want noticeable lifting in fewer sessions Prefer a once-a-year “reset” treatment Need a solution with no downtime Are not ready for surgery but want results that last 12–18 months When to Choose Indiba® RF Consider Indiba if you’re experiencing: Mild skin laxity with uneven texture Cellulite or areas of stubborn fat distribution Puffiness or poor circulation that makes the skin look tired Post-surgical recovery or chronic joint and muscle discomfort We also recommend Indiba if you: Prefer progressive, natural results over time Want a relaxing, spa-like treatment with no discomfort Are interested in ongoing maintenance between bigger treatments Would benefit from both aesthetic and therapeutic benefits When to Combine Sofwave + Indiba For many patients, the best results come from layering both treatments: Sofwave provides the “reset” — tightening and lifting the skin with a single treatment that builds new collagen over time. Indiba keeps the rhythm going — maintaining those results with regular sessions that improve circulation, reduce puffiness, and support skin health. Together, they create a comprehensive plan that delivers both immediate lifting and long-term maintenance, so your skin looks firm, radiant, and naturally refreshed all year long. At RSMD, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Dr. Burns and our team will guide you toward the plan that fits your skin, your lifestyle, and your long-term goals. Ready to See What’s Possible? Your skin deserves real results and care that lasts. With Sofwave™ and Indiba® RF at Resurrect Skin MD, you can restore firmness, redefine your contours, and feel confident in skin that looks naturally refreshed. Schedule your consultation with Dr. Burns and our expert team today, and take the first step toward results you can trust for years to come. ### Sleeveless Goals: Sofwave Has Your Arms Covered (So You Don’t Have to Be) Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. A.

When it comes to skin rejuvenation, not all microneedling treatments are created equal. Some are designed to refresh surface texture, while others go deeper to tackle laxity and more advanced signs of aging. At Resurrect Skin MD, we offer both EVO Micropen microneedling and Genius RF (radiofrequency) microneedling, two devices that share a goal of stimulating collagen, but use different methods to get you there. Because every patient’s skin is unique, choosing the right option depends on your concerns, your downtime tolerance, and your long-term goals. Let’s explore how these two treatments compare so you can make a confident decision about which one fits your needs. What Is EVO Micropen Microneedling? The EVO Micropen is an advanced, automated microneedling device that creates precise micro-channels in the skin. These tiny controlled injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing response, encouraging new collagen and elastin production. The result: smoother, brighter, more refined skin. Benefits of EVO Micropen: Reduces fine lines and early wrinkles Improves skin tone and texture Minimizes pores Boosts radiance and overall skin health Can be combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for enhanced results Treatment time is quick, usually 15–30 minutes, and recovery is minimal. Most patients experience mild redness for a day or two, similar to a sunburn, before their skin looks refreshed. Because it’s gentle and customizable, EVO Micropen is safe for all skin types and can be repeated regularly for ongoing improvement. What Is Genius RF Microneedling? Genius RF by Lutronic builds on the foundation of traditional microneedling by adding controlled radiofrequency (RF) energy. As the microneedles penetrate the skin, they deliver heat into the deeper dermis. This thermal energy amplifies collagen remodeling and creates a tightening effect that goes beyond what standard microneedling can achieve. Benefits of Genius RF: Targets deeper fine lines and wrinkles Tightens mild to moderate skin laxity Improves acne scars with deeper remodeling Offers real-time feedback for precise, safe energy delivery Works effectively on all skin tones A session typically lasts 30–60 minutes. Because Genius penetrates deeper and uses heat, downtime is slightly longer, with redness and swelling that may last three to five days, sometimes followed by light peeling. Still, the improvements in lift, firmness and smoothness are often more dramatic and longer-lasting than traditional microneedling. Key Differences Between Genius RF and EVO Micropen Both EVO Micropen and Genius RF stimulate collagen, but the way they work and the type of results you can expect are different. Understanding these distinctions will help you decide which treatment best aligns with your skin goals, comfort level, and lifestyle. Treatment Focus EVO Micropen excels at refining surface concerns, including uneven texture, enlarged pores, and early fine lines. Genius RF goes deeper, addressing more advanced issues such as skin laxity, acne scars, and pronounced wrinkles. Comfort Level EVO Micropen treatments are gentle, often described as a light scratching or vibration sensation. Most patients need only topical numbing. Genius RF feels more intense because of the added heat, so we use both topical numbing and, when desired, Pro-Nox for maximum comfort. Downtime Recovery from EVO Micropen is quick, usually just one to two days of mild redness before the skin looks refreshed. Genius RF requires more healing time, with three to five days of redness and swelling, sometimes followed by light peeling. Results Timeline With EVO Micropen, subtle improvements appear within days, and results build gradually over a series of treatments. Genius RF results take a bit longer to develop as collagen remodels, but the lifting and tightening effects can last for months. When to Choose EVO Micropen EVO Micropen may be your best option if you’re dealing with: Early fine lines or superficial wrinkles Uneven tone or texture Enlarged pores Dullness or loss of radiance It’s also ideal if you: Want a gentle treatment with little downtime Prefer an affordable, repeatable option Are interested in boosting results with PRP Have sensitive skin that may not tolerate heat-based treatments When to Choose Genius RF Genius RF may be the better fit if you’re concerned with: Moderate fine lines and deeper wrinkles Early to moderate laxity in the cheeks, jawline, or neck Acne scarring that requires deeper remodeling Thinner or aging skin that needs firmer collagen support It’s also a great choice if you: Want noticeable tightening without surgery Can allow for a few days of downtime Prefer fewer but more powerful treatments Value a device with advanced safety and precision feedback Can You Combine EVO Micropen and Genius RF? Yes, and often with excellent results. At Resurrect Skin MD, we sometimes recommend using both devices strategically. EVO Micropen is ideal for regular skin refreshment, whereas Genius RF is reserved for more advanced treatments, such as deeper tightening or remodeling. For example, you might begin with EVO Micropen sessions to build collagen and improve texture, then add Genius RF when skin laxity becomes more noticeable. Alternating treatments can also help maintain results in the long term. During your consultation, we’ll customize a plan that balances your goals, lifestyle, and downtime tolerance. Who Makes the Best Candidate? Both EVO Micropen and Genius RF are safe for all skin tones, but the ideal candidate depends on your concerns. EVO Micropen is a great starting point for younger patients, those new to aesthetic treatments, or anyone looking for subtle improvements with minimal downtime. Genius RF is best suited for patients who are beginning to notice sagging skin, deeper wrinkles, or scarring that requires more intensive collagen remodeling. Radiant Skin Starts at Resurrect Skin MD Our Skin to Life™ philosophy means we never look at skin in isolation. We consider texture, tone, volume, and laxity together to design the most effective plan for your needs. Whether that involves EVO Micropen, Genius RF, or a combination, Dr. Burns and our expert team will guide you toward the best choice for your skin. Both devices are powerful in their own right, but the real difference lies in how they’re applied to your unique skin. At Resurrect Skin MD, you’ll always receive a thoughtful, personalized approach backed by advanced technology, experience, and genuine care. Contact us today to schedule your consultation and take the next step toward smoother, firmer, more radiant skin. ### Laser Combo Treatments: Why Patients See Better Results When MOXI, HALO & BBL Are Combined At Resurrect Skin M.D., technology is only part of the story. What truly sets us apart is how we use that technology to bring your Skin to Life™: intentionally, creatively, and compassionately. One of the best examples of this philosophy in action is our synergistic protocols combining MOXI®, HALO®, and BBL®. By sequencing these treatments, we address multiple layers of aging at once, restoring both vitality and confidence in ways a single modality can’t achieve. What Is MOXI? MOXI® is known as a “prejuvenation” laser because it’s designed to keep skin healthy before signs of aging become advanced. Using a gentle, nonablative wavelength, MOXI refreshes dull or uneven tone, smooths micro-texture, and stimulates new collagen, all with little downtime. It’s safe for nearly all skin types and seasons, making it a favorite first step in a long-term Skin to Life™ plan. Patients often describe MOXI as their “glow-up” treatment. What Is HALO? HALO® is the world’s first hybrid fractional laser, combining two wavelengths in a single pass: one that resurfaces the skin’s outer layer (ablative) and one that penetrates more deeply (nonablative). This dual action allows us to treat everything from fine lines and sun damage to enlarged pores, scars, and early laxity.  Because it works on both the surface and the dermis, HALO doesn’t just reveal brighter skin, it rebuilds it from within. At RSMD, HALO is often the cornerstone of rejuvenation when structural improvement is needed. What Is BBL HERO? BBL HERO® (BroadBand™ Light High Energy Rapid Output) is an advanced light-based treatment that targets pigment, redness, broken capillaries, and an uneven skin tone. It also stimulates skin at the genetic level, “reprogramming” older cells to behave more like younger ones.  BBL HERO is faster, more comfortable, and more powerful than earlier light devices, making it ideal for both full-face and body treatments. It’s the ultimate tone equalizer, clearing discoloration and enhancing the brightness of the canvas before or after resurfacing work. The newest version of this device, BBL HEROic, takes your results to the next level with improved precision and speed, allowing for faster treatments with fewer passes.  Why MOXI, HALO & BBL Work Better Together When your treatment plan is built on synergy rather than single sessions, your results go further. At RSMD, we layer MOXI, HALO, and BBL intentionally, each device playing a distinct role while supporting the others.  MOXI lays the foundation by gently refreshing the surface and priming skin for deeper treatments. BBL HERO clears and brightens by targeting pigment, redness, and vessels to create an even skin tone. HALO reshapes and rebuilds by remodeling texture, pores, and deeper lines with dual wavelengths. Synergy: More Than the Sum of Its Parts A Skin to Life™ protocol is never random. It’s designed to respect how your skin heals and responds. When MOXI, BBL HERO, and HALO are combined in sequence, each one sets the stage for the next, creating a transformation that feels gradual, natural, and lasting. Step 1: MOXI gently preps the skin, refining tone and texture while stimulating collagen. This makes the skin more resilient and ready for deeper treatment. Step 2: BBL HERO clears the “canvas” by reducing redness, visible vessels, and brown spots. When discoloration is minimized, the improvements from resurfacing become more striking. Step 3: HALO dives deeper, remodeling structure by addressing lines, scars, and uneven texture. Because the skin has already been conditioned by MOXI and brightened with BBL, HALO can be used more strategically without overwhelming recovery. By layering treatments this way, we: Reduce risk of complications such as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, since pigment is already managed before deeper resurfacing. Shorten recovery compared to a single aggressive laser, as each device does part of the work without maxing out intensity. Deliver natural-looking results that improve progressively over weeks and months instead of an abrupt “overnight” change. Maintenance & Longevity Skin is constantly changing. It reacts to sun, lifestyle, stress, and time. That’s why combination treatments at RSMD don’t stop after a single session. Instead, we build a roadmap that spans months and years, ensuring your results stay as vibrant as the day they began. Early Phase (first 3 months): MOXI and BBL HERO sessions keep skin bright and clear while collagen begins building from HALO. Intermediate Phase (6–12 months): Improvements from HALO continue unfolding, with touch-up MOXI or BBL treatments maintaining clarity and tone. Long-Term (1–3 years and beyond): Periodic maintenance, often with lighter MOXI or BBL sessions, helps extend HALO’s benefits, slowing visible aging and preserving the skin’s healthier baseline. This long-view planning reflects our Skin to Life™ philosophy: never overtreating or undertreating, but giving your skin exactly what it needs, exactly when it needs it. The result is not just short-term improvement, but a true partnership for lifelong skin health. Your Results: What to Expect Week by Week and Beyond One of the most exciting parts of a Skin to Life™ laser journey is watching your skin transform over time. Because MOXI, HALO, and BBL each work at different depths, results appear in stages, giving you both immediate gratification and lasting change. Within Days: BBL HERO clears redness and brown spots quickly, and MOXI creates a fresh, polished glow. Skin often looks brighter even before peeling finishes. 2–4 Weeks: Texture begins to refine as collagen activity increases. Pores appear smaller, skin feels smoother, and makeup goes on more evenly. 2–3 Months: HALO’s deeper remodeling comes forward. Fine lines soften, scars fade, and tone looks more uniform. The “HALO glow” is often most noticeable here. 6 Months and Beyond: Collagen and elastin continue to rebuild, with improvements still visible long after treatment. Maintenance MOXI or BBL sessions help preserve this new baseline, keeping skin healthier year after year. The beauty of this timeline is its balance. You get visible wins early on, but the full depth of rejuvenation keeps unfolding over months, making the transformation both natural and long-lasting. Bringing Skin to Life™ with Laser Synergy At RSMD, we believe the best results don’t come from a single device. They come from intentional planning and care. By combining MOXI, HALO, and BBL within our Skin to Life™ methodology, we create treatment plans that are safer, more comprehensive, and longer lasting than any one treatment could offer on its own. Your skin deserves more than quick fixes. It deserves a thoughtful, lifelong partnership that helps it look as radiant as you feel — today, tomorrow, and for years to come. Schedule your consultation at Resurrect Skin M.D. and let us design a plan that’s as unique as you are. ### What Is DermaV and How Does It Transform Redness & Brown Spots? When you look in the mirror and notice redness that won’t fade or brown spots that seem to darken every summer, it can feel frustrating. Makeup might cover them temporarily, but what if there was a way to restore clarity at the source? At Resurrect Skin MD, we’ve brought in DermaV, the newest generation of vascular and pigment laser treatment. With its advanced dual-wavelength technology, DermaV helps us treat redness, broken vessels, and unwanted pigmentation, all in a single session. Let’s explore what makes this device so powerful, how it works, and why it’s redefining the way we treat stubborn skin discoloration. What Is DermaV? DermaV is an advanced vascular and pigment laser created by Lutronic, a global leader in medical aesthetics. It’s the first laser designed to treat redness and brown spots simultaneously, thanks to its dual-wavelength technology. That means instead of needing one device for broken capillaries and another for sun spots, DermaV does it all more efficiently, comfortably, and with minimal downtime. We commonly use DermaV to treat: Facial redness and flushing from rosacea Spider veins and broken capillaries Brown spots, freckles, and sun damage Pigmentation on the face, chest, hands, and body How Does DermaV Work? Think of DermaV as two highly targeted lights in one system: Green light (532nm): Perfect for surface-level redness and brown spots. It zeroes in on pigment and broken vessels near the top of your skin. Deeper light (1064nm): Designed to reach deeper blood vessels and stubborn pigmentation, while being safe for a wide range of skin tones. But what really sets DermaV apart isn’t just the dual wavelengths, it’s the built-in technology that makes treatments more comfortable and effective: Advanced cryogen cooling: Protects your skin during treatment, reduces discomfort, and lowers downtime compared to many other lasers. IntelliTrak™ technology: Ensures even, consistent coverage for reliable results across every part of the treatment area. IntelliTone™ Clear & Smooth: Helps refine overall skin tone and texture, creating a clearer, more radiant complexion. Face & Body A.R.T. mode: Specifically designed to reduce redness and pigmentation not just on the face, but also on the chest and body. Together, these wavelengths give us the flexibility to address multiple concerns in one treatment, something older lasers simply couldn’t do. How Does DermaV Transform Redness and Brown Spots? Redness and brown spots may look very different on the surface, but both come from irregularities just beneath your skin. DermaV uses its dual wavelengths to correct these issues at the source. For redness: The 532nm green light precisely targets hemoglobin in broken vessels and rosacea-related flushing. The light energy gently collapses these tiny vessels, allowing your body to naturally clear them away. Over time, redness fades and your skin tone looks more balanced. For brown spots: Pigmented lesions like sun spots or freckles contain excess melanin. DermaV’s light energy breaks this pigment into tiny fragments. These spots often darken briefly before naturally sloughing off, revealing brighter, clearer skin underneath. By treating both vascular and pigment concerns in the same session, while keeping the skin protected with advanced cryogen cooling, DermaV delivers a more even complexion with less downtime, less risk, and more noticeable results than traditional lasers. How Many Treatments Will You Need? Every patient’s skin is unique, so the number of DermaV sessions needed can vary. Some people notice meaningful results after just one treatment, especially for smaller blood vessels or lighter pigmentation. For others with more extensive redness, rosacea, or clusters of brown spots, a series of two to four sessions spaced a few weeks apart provides the best results. Once treated, many vessels and spots are gone for good, but new ones can appear over time with sun exposure, aging, or genetics. That’s why many patients choose maintenance sessions every so often to keep their skin clear, balanced, and radiant long term. How Long Do Results Last? One of the best parts about DermaV is that you’ll see results quickly. Many patients notice their skin looks clearer and more balanced within just one to two weeks, and that fresh glow can last for several weeks after a single session. For longer-lasting improvement, especially with more stubborn redness or pigmentation, a series of treatments may be recommended. Once treated, many vessels and spots are gone for good, though new ones can appear over time due to sun exposure, aging, or genetics. With good skincare habits — especially consistent sunscreen use — results can last months to years, and many patients choose occasional maintenance sessions to keep their skin at its best. Who Is DermaV For? DermaV is designed for patients who want a clearer, more even complexion without the downtime or risks of more aggressive treatments. It’s a great option if you struggle with: Persistent redness or flushing that doesn’t improve with skincare Rosacea-related visible vessels and discoloration Brown spots, freckles, or sun damage from years outdoors Uneven skin tone that makes your complexion look dull or older than you feel Both vascular and pigment concerns that you’d like addressed in the same session Because DermaV uses dual wavelengths and advanced cooling, it’s safe for a wide range of skin tones and can be customized for both the face and body. Whether you’re hoping to fade visible redness on your cheeks, reduce sun spots on your chest, or improve pigmentation on your hands, DermaV can be tailored to your needs. Reveal Clear, Confident Skin with DermaV Redness and brown spots can feel like stubborn reminders of aging, sun exposure, or genetics, but they don’t have to define your complexion. With DermaV at Resurrect Skin MD, you can finally target both issues in a single, efficient treatment. By pairing two wavelengths with advanced comfort technology, DermaV goes beyond surface improvements to create real, lasting change in your skin. The result? A clearer, more balanced complexion that looks refreshed, natural, and truly yours. For many patients, the biggest transformation isn’t just in their skin. It’s in their confidence. With redness and pigmentation concerns under control, makeup feels optional, photos feel easier, and your skin finally reflects how vibrant you feel on the inside. Schedule your consultation at Resurrect Skin MD and take the first step toward clearer, more radiant confidence. ### HALO® vs. MOXI® vs. BBL® HERO™: Choosing the Right Laser for Your Skin Goals When you walk into a consultation for laser skin treatments, you might feel overwhelmed by the options. Today, three devices dominate the conversation: HALO, MOXI, and BBL HERO or HEROic. Each targets different aspects of skin aging, works at different depths, and delivers distinct results, so how can you tell which is right for you? At Resurrect Skin MD, Dr. A. Jay Burns has spent decades not just using advanced laser treatments, but actually developing them. As a key figure behind technologies like BBL HERO™ and scientific advisory board member for major laser companies, he understands that the right device makes all the difference between subtle improvement and dramatic transformation. Let's break down these three powerhouse treatments so you can make an informed decision. BBL® HERO™ & BBL® HEROic™ What Makes BBL HERO & HEROic Revolutionary? BBL HERO and HEROic are advanced technologies that use pulses of BroadBand Light™ to renew and rejuvenate the skin. Similar to intense pulsed light (IPL), BBL spans a wider visible spectrum of light that can penetrate to various skin depths, making it more powerful and more effective at treating a variety of concerns. When paired with Sciton’s High Energy Rapid Output technology (the “HERO” in BBL HERO), this generation of BBL also offers significantly faster treatment times, so you can efficiently treat larger areas like the chest, arms and neck.  BBL HERO and HEROic go beyond surface-level improvements to affect your skin on a cellular level, turning off the genes associated with aging and returning your skin to a more youthful state. The newest advancement, BBL HEROic, takes this technology even further with enhanced precision and efficiency. Dr. Burns, who played an instrumental role in bringing this device to market, describes it as "literally turning back time for your skin cells." Perfect for these skin goals: BBL HERO and HEROic excel at treating sun damage, age spots, facial redness, vascular lesions and an uneven texture. The treatment feels like "a warm pop," requires zero downtime, and produces visible results within two to three weeks. Stanford research shows that three BBL treatments per year can stimulate skin cells back to a younger state by directly changing DNA expression. Patients who commit to this protocol often see their skin looking better after years of treatment than when they started. Results and downtime: BBL HERO™ and HEROic deliver the convenience busy patients crave with absolutely no required downtime. You can return to work immediately, apply makeup right after treatment, and maintain your regular schedule without interruption.  Initial results become visible within two to three weeks as your body replaces damaged cells with fresh, healthy ones. Improvements continue to develop over several months as new collagen builds beneath the surface. With consistent annual treatments, results are both cumulative and long-lasting.  MOXI® Fractional Laser Why MOXI Is One of Our Most Popular Treatments  MOXI fills a crucial gap in laser treatments. This fractional nonablative laser provides real results without the aggressive approach of deeper treatments. Full-face treatments take only 10 to 15 minutes to complete and offer what Dr. Burns calls "prejuvenation" — preventing the signs of aging before they become more pronounced. MOXI is also notable for its safety across all skin types. Patients of color have historically had limited options when it came to laser treatments, but MOXI uses a shorter wavelength that passes through the skin without causing pigmentary changes, dramatically decreasing the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) caused by older technologies. Perfect for these skin goals: Choose MOXI when you want subtle polishing before special events, need maintenance between more aggressive treatments, or have sensitive skin that can't tolerate deeper procedures. MOXI works beautifully for stubborn age spots that resist other treatments, and you can enhance your results by pairing it with BBL HERO or HEROic, one of our most popular treatment combinations.  Results and downtime: MOXI requires minimal downtime, making it the perfect lunch break” treatment. You’ll be able to immediately resume all normal activities with just mild redness. Results begin to appear after five to six days, when old skin cells shed to reveal a polished, refreshed layer underneath. You’ll notice continued improvements over the following weeks as collagen production increases. A series of three to four treatments delivers optimal results that can last six months to a year. HALO® Hybrid Fractional Laser The World’s First Dual-Wavelength Laser HALO revolutionized laser treatments by combining ablative and nonablative technologies in a single device. Dr. Burns, who served on the advisory board during HALO's development, explains that this dual approach treats both the surface (epidermis) and deeper layers (dermis) simultaneously. One wavelength resurfaces the top layer of the skin to deliver an immediate glow, while the other stimulates deep collagen production for long-term results.  Perfect for these skin goals: HALO excels for patients with moderate to severe sun damage, texture issues, enlarged pores, and acne scarring. The treatment creates the coveted "HALO glow" that becomes visible within days and continues improving for up to six months. Dr. Burns developed the HALO Skin to Life™ protocol specifically for patients who need customized treatment depths across different facial areas. This approach maximizes results while minimizing overall downtime. Results and downtime: HALO requires more recovery time than MOXI or BBL HERO™, with most patients experiencing two to five days of downtime depending on treatment intensity. Your skin will look and feel sunburned initially, with some swelling and peeling as it heals.  Results develop in two phases: immediate improvements become visible within days, while the deeper collagen remodeling continues for up to six months. Most patients achieve their desired results after one to two treatments, lasting for several years with proper care. Which Laser Is Best Suited to Your Needs? For persistent sun damage and age spots: BBL HERO™ takes the lead, especially when combined with MOXI for comprehensive results. The combination addresses both cellular aging and surface imperfections. For acne scars and texture problems: HALO's dual-wavelength approach provides the depth needed for meaningful scar improvement, particularly when integrated into Dr. Burns' scar treatment protocols. For sensitive or darker skin tones: MOXI offers the safest entry point, with BBL HERO™ as a potential add-on once your skin adapts to laser treatments. For prevention and maintenance: MOXI excels at keeping skin youthful, while BBL HERO™ provides the cellular benefits that prevent future damage. The RSMD Advantage Dr. Burns didn't just learn about these technologies, he helped create them. His involvement in developing BBL HERO™ and his time serving on Sciton’s advisory board mean you receive treatment from someone who understands these devices at their deepest level.  This expertise translates into customized treatment protocols, optimal settings for your specific needs, and the confidence that comes from being treated by someone who literally wrote the book on advanced laser techniques.

At Resurrect Skin MD, we believe skin health is deeply personal and profoundly connected to how you feel in your own body.  Our founder, Dr A. Jay Burns often reminds patients that radiant skin isn’t about perfection; it’s about vitality, resilience, and confidence. And that journey starts with the choices you make every day. While in-office treatments deliver bigger transformations, everyday habits are the bridge that sustains them over time. Through decades of experience and innovation, Dr. Burns has helped thousands of patients restore not just their skin, but also their sense of self. Here, we’re sharing simple, science-backed practices you can start at home today. 1. Start With a Purpose-Driven Skincare Routine Healthy skin begins with consistency. Dr. Burns emphasizes that your home skincare regimen is the foundation of long-term success. Whether you’re healing sun damage, managing breakouts, or investing in prejuvenation, every great routine includes: Cleanse Choose a gentle, pH-balanced cleanser that supports your skin barrier. Cleanse in the morning and night to remove impurities and prepare your skin for active ingredients. Exfoliate Wisely Using chemical exfoliants like AHAs or BHAs one to three times a week promotes cell turnover. Avoid harsh scrubs that can damage the skin’s surface and lead to inflammation. Hydrate and Moisturize Even oily or acne-prone skin needs hydration. A well-formulated moisturizer locks in moisture and protects against environmental stress. Protect with SPF No step matters more than sun protection. Dr. Burns recommends mineral-based sunscreen with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, applied every morning, year-round. Explore curated skincare products from Resurrect Skin MD, personally selected by Dr. Burns for their proven results and skin compatibility. 2. Follow the Optimal Skincare Regimen Crafted through years of clinical research and patient success, Dr. Burns’ Optimal Skincare Regimen supports the skin’s natural rhythm while enhancing the effects of professional treatments. This streamlined, results-oriented protocol includes: SkinMedica AHA/BHA Cleanser for gentle exfoliation Rejuvenative Toner to balance and refresh TNS Advanced+ Serum to repair and stimulate cellular activity HA5 Rejuvenating Hydrator to attract and retain moisture Essential Defense Mineral Shield SPF 35 to prevent sun damage 3. Eat for Skin Health Healthy skin is built from the inside out. A nutrient-rich diet not only supports your skin barrier but also helps regulate inflammation and boost glow from within. Antioxidants, such as vitamin C, vitamin E, and polyphenols, help fight oxidative stress.s Healthy fats, such as omega-3s, help restore balance and reduce irritation Hydration supports elasticity and detoxification Avoid refined sugars, which can accelerate aging and trigger breakouts. Instead, aim for colorful, whole-food meals that feed both your body and your skin. 4. Prioritize Restorative Sleep Your skin’s best work happens while you sleep. During deep rest, your body increases blood flow, repairs damage, and restores collagen production. Get seven to nine hours per night Use active ingredients like peptides or growth factors before bed Sleep on a silk pillowcase to reduce friction and dryness Keep your space cool and device-free to support melatonin production 5. Reduce Stress With Intentional Habits Stress is more than an emotional burden; it’s a physiological disruptor. It can worsen inflammatory conditions, trigger breakouts, and dull your complexion. Small daily practices can make a significant impact: Meditate or do breathwork for five to ten minutes Spend time outdoors Incorporate gentle movement like yoga or walking 6. Stay Clean and Conscious What touches your face matters more than you might realize. Everyday items can introduce bacteria, dirt, and oils that clog pores and compromise your skin barrier. Change pillowcases weekly to prevent buildup. Clean your phone screen daily to minimize the transfer of bacteria Sanitize brushes and applicators every week Avoid touching your face unless your hands are clean and freshly washed These simple habits help prevent unnecessary irritation, clogged pores, and breakouts. 7. Maximize Results Between Treatments Your in-office treatments, whether lasers, microneedling, or injectables, are investments in your skin’s future. What you do at home is what preserves that investment. Follow recovery instructions precisely to protect your healing skin Use barrier-repairing products with ceramides and hyaluronic acid Avoid sun exposure and heat for several days after treatment Hydrate consistently and reapply sunscreen throughout the day 8. Build a Routine That Honors You No two faces are the same, and no two skincare plans should be either. Your skin deserves its own strategy, tailored to its needs. At Resurrect Skin MD, personalization is at the heart of everything we do.

That one-and-done facial and occasional laser splurge aren’t enough to maintain lasting results. The real secret to better skin isn’t a miracle product or procedure. It’s consistency. But consistency is hard when every visit feels like a surprise expense. What if your skincare routine worked more like Netflix, with monthly payments that give you affordable access to your favorite treatments on-demand? That’s the idea behind subscription-based aesthetics: fewer financial roadblocks, more flexibility and way better follow-through.  Dr. A. Jay Burns, with over 30 years of experience as a board-certified plastic surgeon, has recognized that traditional fee-per-service skincare can discourage patients from “staying on plan.” He knows that most people stop getting regular treatments not because they stop wanting results, but because it gets too expensive, confusing or inconvenient to keep up. That’s why he and his team have developed a smarter way to stay committed to your skin. Introducing RSMD Memberships: a subscription-based approach that lets you treat regularly, save money and actually get the results you want.  Why Choose Subscription-Based Skincare? Most aesthetic practices operate on a pay-per-visit model, but high treatment costs can make patients hesitant to go all-in on their skincare plan, leading to sporadic visits that lack the consistency needed for healthy, glowing skin. You might splurge on a major treatment annually but skip the valuable maintenance sessions that would preserve and enhance your results.  At Resurrect Skin MD, our subscription-based memberships shift the focus from individual treatment costs to long-term value and investment. Your monthly payment accumulates in your wallet, giving you the freedom and flexibility to pursue your favorite services. Suddenly, that monthly MOXI® session or biannual BBL® HERO™ treatment becomes an affordable habit that keeps your skin looking smooth and beautiful year-round.  The Power of Consistency Subscription-based models have changed how we consume everything, from media and software to fashion and wellness products. Not just because they’re convenient, but because they are constantly evolving with new updates and features that keep us engaged.  The same idea applies to skincare: membership programs provide more access to the latest treatments and technologies, making it easier to maintain a consistent monthly or quarterly routine and giving you the freedom to try that new service you’ve been thinking about.  “Consistency is probably the most important aspect of skin health and beauty,” says Dr. Burns. “It beats ‘quick fixes’ every time.” That’s because when you treat your skin actively, not just reactively, you’re establishing a foundation for long-term health and resilience. Monthly facials, quarterly Botox injections and annual laser sessions… Showing up regularly, even for the small stuff, adds up fast. When it comes to BBL® HERO™ and HEROic™ treatments, research from the Stanford University School of Medicine has shown that three BBL sessions a year can actually alter gene expression patterns in aging skin cells, causing them to act like younger, healthier cells. It’s these kinds of results that make our membership programs so powerful. They’re designed to make it easier to care for your skin, with flexibility that fits your lifestyle and perks that reward your commitment. It’s not just about doing more, it's about doing what works more consistently.  Personalized Care That Evolves With You One of the most valuable aspects of our aesthetic membership programs is the ability to track your treatment progress over time, built on the knowledge of expert providers who truly understand your skin's needs. And as your needs change over time, your treatment plan can be adjusted with tailored-to-you recommendations that keep your skin looking its best.  When Dr. Burns handpicked his staff (many of whom have worked with him for decades), he was creating a foundation for the kind of long-term patient/provider relationships that drive superior results. As he and his team become familiar with how your skin responds to different treatments, as well as your unique preferences and lifestyle factors, the care you receive becomes increasingly effective and optimized to bring your Skin to Life™. Premium Access at Affordable Pricing On Your Terms Our membership program transforms how you access premium treatments, making them more affordable through predictable monthly payments. Your membership fee accumulates in your wallet and comes with exclusive perks and discounts, giving you the freedom to use those funds toward the services you want, when you want them, without the sticker shock. That means for advanced technologies like BBL® HEROic™, MOXI® and HALO®, some of the most sophisticated devices on the market, you can build credit over time, making them more accessible.  This “banking system” puts you in complete control of your aesthetic journey. Your monthly payments aren't locked into specific treatments and can be applied toward whatever your skin needs most to look its best. Whether you want to save up for a more intensive procedure or spread your investment across regular maintenance treatments, the choice is entirely yours. Two Ways to Stay Committed to Your Skin At Resurrect Skin MD, our membership program is built for patients who want a smarter way to care for their skin. With two flexible options, you can choose the plan that fits your goals and enjoy access to exclusive perks, savings and ongoing support from our expert providers.  Luxe Membership VIP+ Membership Our Luxe Membership is $150 per month and includes 10% off all products and services. Each monthly payment is added to your wallet and can be applied toward any treatment. Your membership is ongoing until you cancel, so you can use your balance at your own pace. Our VIP+ Membership is $300 per month and includes the same 10% discount, along with faster wallet accumulation. This option is ideal for patients who want to accelerate their results or plan for high-value treatments while enjoying the same flexibility and benefits each month.   Both memberships include access to member-only offers and events, as well as the opportunity to be “first in line” for new treatments and technologies.

Patients come to us every day with a simple question: What's the best treatment to get me the results I'm looking for?  If your concerns include dullness, fine lines, dry skin, acne, or pigmentation, two treatments that may be on your radar are Hydrafacial and chemical peels. Both can significantly improve your skin's appearance, but they work differently and address different concerns. At Resurrect Skin MD, our team has extensive experience with these treatments, not just administering them to clients, but receiving them ourselves. This firsthand knowledge helps us understand exactly what works best for different skin types, concerns, and lifestyles. Let's compare these two powerhouse treatments to help you determine which might be the better choice for your skin. For anyone searching for Dallas facials, our clinic provides advanced treatments designed to refresh, renew, and restore your skin. What Is a Hydrafacial? Hydrafacial is a multi-step hydradermabrasion treatment that cleanses, exfoliates, extracts impurities, and delivers intense hydration in a single session. The process is gentle yet effective, making it suitable for all skin types, even sensitive skin. Each Hydrafacial takes just 30 minutes, and there is no downtime. It's the perfect treatment to schedule when you want a glow-up for a special event, and it's even more effective when you make monthly Hydrafacials part of your regular skincare routine. One of the best parts of the Hydrafacial is the many ways we can personalize your treatment. You can customize your Hydrafacial with skin boosters that target your specific concerns, like HydraFacial Dermabuilder to minimize fine lines and wrinkles or JLO BEAUTY® Booster for a dewy-fresh glow. You can also upgrade your Hydrafacial with add-ons like LED light therapy, lymphatic drainage, or dermaplaning. What Are Chemical Peels? Chemical peels are exfoliating treatments that remove the outer layers of skin. During a chemical peel, we apply a solution containing one or more acids to the surface of your skin. This process removes dead and damaged skin cells and triggers your skin's natural healing process, revealing a fresher, healthier complexion. We offer different types of chemical peels varying in strength and depth. Superficial peels use mild acids like glycolic or lactic acid to refresh dull skin with little to no downtime. Medium-depth peels penetrate deeper to address more significant concerns like fine lines and sun damage. Deep peels reach the lower dermal layers and can dramatically improve skin texture and tone. Most chemical peels take 30 to 60 minutes. The amount of downtime, aftercare guidelines, and severity of post-treatment peeling depend on the strength of the peel. Key Differences Between Hydrafacial and Chemical Peels Treatment Focus Hydrafacial centers around deeply cleansing and hydrating the skin while simultaneously delivering beneficial ingredients. Chemical peels focus on controlled exfoliation using acids to stimulate cell turnover and boost collagen production. Sensation and Comfort The Hydrafacial procedure is painless and relaxing. You'll experience gentle suction and cooling sensations as the device moves across your skin. Chemical peels typically cause a warm or tingling sensation during application, with intensity varying based on the peel strength. Some patients describe a mild burning feeling that subsides after neutralization. Downtime and Recovery Hydrafacial requires absolutely no downtime. You can immediately return to your normal activities with a fresh, glowing complexion. Chemical peels vary significantly in recovery time depending on strength. Light peels may cause mild redness but require no downtime, while medium peels can result in redness and peeling for five to seven days. Deeper peels require more recovery time. Results Timeline Hydrafacial results are visible immediately. Your skin looks clearer, more radiant, and hydrated right after the treatment. The effects build with each session, but overall they tend to be more subtle and surface-level than chemical peels. Chemical peel results develop over time as your skin heals and regenerates. The most dramatic improvements are visible once this process is completed. In general, chemical peels can address deeper skin concerns than Hydrafacial. Treatment Frequency For optimal results with Hydrafacial, we typically recommend monthly treatments as part of your regular skincare routine. Chemical peels are usually performed less frequently, though light peels can also be done monthly. Ideal Candidates Hydrafacial works well for nearly all skin types and conditions. It's particularly well-suited for people with sensitive or reactive skin that cannot tolerate more aggressive treatments. Chemical peel candidates depend on peel strength. Light peels work for most skin types, while medium and deep peels might not be a good choice if you have a skin condition like rosacea or eczema. When to Choose a Hydrafacial Consider a Hydrafacial if you're experiencing: Dehydrated skin that lacks moisture and appears dull  Congested pores and occasional breakouts  Uneven skin tone or minor hyperpigmentation  Fine lines and early signs of aging  We also recommend Hydrafacial if you: Need a quick refresher before a special event Want to optimize another skin treatment Prefer a treatment with no downtime Have sensitive skin Are you looking for general skin maintenance more than targeted treatment When to Choose a Chemical Peel Chemical peels may be the better option if you're experiencing: Moderate to deep wrinkles and fine lines  Significant sun damage and age spots  Acne scars and texture irregularities  Melasma or stubborn hyperpigmentation  We also recommend chemical peels if you: Wish to address deeper or more stubborn concerns Would benefit from collagen stimulation Have plateaued with gentler treatments Can tolerate some downtime for more dramatic results Are you looking for an alternative to laser resurfacing Combining Skin Treatments: Can You Have Both? At Resurrect Skin MD, we take a comprehensive approach to skin health. Dr. Burns and our team often recommend combining different treatments for optimal results. Hydrafacial and chemical peels complement each other beautifully when properly timed and sequenced. For instance, a series of Hydrafacials can prepare your skin for a chemical peel by ensuring it's well-hydrated and in optimal condition. Alternatively, after you've healed from a chemical peel, regular Hydrafacial treatments can help maintain your results and continue to improve your skin's health and appearance. During your consultation, we'll discuss whether your treatment plan should include both of these treatments. We consider factors like your lifestyle, downtime tolerance, and desired results when making recommendations. Radiant Skin Starts at Resurrect Skin MD Our signature Skin to Life™ experience means we evaluate your skin from every angle, considering all four pillars of aging to develop a personalized plan that brings out the best in your skin. Whether you are looking for a Hydrafacial, chemical peel Dallas, or a strategic combination of both would best address your concerns, our expert team will guide you to the right solution.

There's a whole world of activity in the deeper layers of our skin that the naked eye can't see. That's why we've brought VISIA Skin Analysis to Resurrect Skin MD. This technology allows us to see what's happening inside various layers of your skin. It brings the invisible to light so we can make more personalized treatment plans, and you see even better results. What Is VISIA® Skin Analysis? VISIA is not just another fancy camera. It's a state-of-the-art diagnostic tool that uses imaging, AI, simulations, and more to evaluate your skin at a deeper level than previously possible in a clinical setting. The system captures high-resolution images of your face using different types of lighting to reveal both surface and subsurface skin conditions. Then, it analyzes these images to provide detailed information about your skin's health and appearance.  VISIA gives us meaningful data to develop a treatment plan specifically for you. We can clearly see your unique skin challenges, as well as how your results compare to others of your same age and skin type. As we continue working with you, we also use VISIA to track your progress and identify helpful adjustments to your treatment plan.  The Technology Behind VISIA® The VISIA system uses three different types of lighting to "see" into your skin: Standard lighting shows surface features, like wrinkles and visible spots. This is what you might see looking in a mirror under good lighting. Cross-polarized lighting penetrates the surface to reveal subsurface skin conditions that aren't visible otherwise. This lighting can show problems developing beneath the surface before they become visible externally. Ultraviolet (UV) lighting exposes damage caused by sun exposure that has not yet surfaced, as well as bacterial presence (porphyrins) within pores. This can help predict future skin issues before they become visible. These technologies work together in a quick and painless scan. You simply rest your chin in a cradle while the VISIA capture unit rotates around your face to take multiple images. The software then analyzes the images and generates an assessment of your skin. What VISIA® Measures VISIA's high-tech imaging software analyzes eight key features of your skin: Spots Visible areas of pigmentation that are distinguished by their color and contrast from your background skin tone.  Brown Spots Pigmentation and discoloration below your skin's surface that may become visible in the future. Wrinkles These furrows, folds, or creases in the skin often develop with sun exposure and decreasing skin elasticity. Texture This refers to the smoothness of your skin. VISIA identifies raised and depressed areas that give your skin an uneven appearance. Pores These circular surface openings of sweat gland ducts can appear enlarged and darker than your surrounding skin tone. UV Spots These are areas just below the skin surface that have been damaged by sun exposure. Redness Areas of concentrated redness might be related to inflammation, spider veins, rosacea, or other redness-causing conditions. Porphyrins These bacterial secretions can clog pores, potentially leading to acne and inflammation. Anyone interested in receiving qualitative data about their skin can benefit from VISIA Skin Analysis. The scans work for everyone, regardless of skin type, skin tone, age, or gender. Understanding Your TruSkin Age® One of the most unique parts of your VISIA report is your TruSkin Age. This metric estimates your skin's biological age so it can be compared to your chronological age. What does that mean? Think of it this way: Some people look younger than their age, while others appear older. TruSkin Age quantifies this difference. For example, a 45-year-old who has taken excellent care of their skin might have a TruSkin Age of 35, while someone who has experienced significant sun damage might have a TruSkin Age higher than their actual age. This information gives us a baseline to work from and helps guide our selection of skincare products and treatments for you. It’s also a way to measure your progress as you work with us to improve your skin health. Additional Features of the VISIA® System VISIA's unique capabilities don't stop at TruSkin Age. The system's advanced features include: Automatic Skin Type Detection: identifies your precise skin type so we make recommendations that truly match your skin's needs Comparison to Norms Analysis: uses the world's largest skin feature database to compare your skin to others in your demographic group Eyelash Analysis: measures lash length, thickness, and density 3D Viewer: creates a 3D rendering of your facial structure for planning treatments that affect facial contours Compare: displays your previous and current images side by side to track your treatment progress Aging Simulation: illustrates how the aging process might affect you by simulating your age up to 80 years old Injectables Simulation: visually demonstrates the benefits you may experience from treatment with dermal fillers or neurotoxins The Benefits of Science-Based Skin Analysis At Resurrect Skin MD, our mission is to bring skin to life through science, care, and compassion. VISIA is part of our commitment to science. The skin analysis system helps with: Early Detection VISIA can identify skin issues before they become visible, allowing you to start preventative treatments that can save you time, money, and frustration down the road. Treatment Personalization Rather than using products or treatments that address a range of concerns, we can focus on what your skin needs. The data allows us to create a truly customized treatment plan. Measuring Results Follow-up VISIA scans allow us to track your progress objectively. We can see exactly how your skin is responding to treatment and make adjustments accordingly. This scientific approach leads to better outcomes. Your treatment plan is based on your skin's actual condition rather than generalizations.

Our patients today ask for treatments that are effective, efficient, and backed by science. At Resurrect Skin MD in Dallas, TX, we continually follow the changes and developments in the aesthetic community so we can offer what makes sense clinically and practically.   Dr. Burns has spent years studying laser science and stays active in researching other energy-based technologies like radiofrequency and ultrasound. He’s always been drawn to medicine, and part of that interest comes from helping patients find treatments that truly fit their needs. Staying current means listening carefully and using tools that stand up to both evidence and experience. What Are Some of the Latest Trends in Aesthetic Medicine? Trends ebb and flow in aesthetics according to the values of the culture. What was popular a decade ago may not be today because of continued research, desired results, and improving technology. Many patients are looking for results that fit their features, feel natural, and make them look and feel healthier.  A Natural-Looking Approach We have seen a strong shift toward treatments that bring out natural beauty rather than affecting more significant changes to facial features. Subtle enhancements are becoming more common, and treatments like dermal fillers, such as lip injections, Juvéderm®, and Kybella, are used with a more conservative approach to refresh and lift without appearing overdone.  At Resurrect Skin MD, our expert team provides customized lip injections in Dallas, TX, designed to complement your features and align with your personal goals, ensuring results that look balanced, natural, and uniquely you. Rejuvenating Treatments Technologies such as lasers are valued today for their ability to treat signs of aging through actual skin rejuvenation. These treatments encourage the skin to refresh itself, which means a better texture and tone using the body’s own healing abilities. Many of the newest treatments stimulate collagen and elastin to support healthier skin over time, and modern technology allows for many of the same incredible results as early lasers without the downtime.  Embracing and Enhancing Unique Features Instead of focusing on a single standard of beauty, patients are embracing what makes them unique and choosing treatments that enhance their features. Surgical and nonsurgical tools can be used to highlight individuality and add structure in a way that supports natural contours. Listening carefully to patients is a large part of selecting the right approach and planning the results.  Our Views and Practices at RSMD At RSMD, we care more about our patients than chasing trends for the sake of staying current. We focus on treatments that show real results and bring lasting value to our patients. When new technologies emerge, we study the data and consider how the technology can improve outcomes, patient comfort, and patient safety.  At the same time, we listen closely to what our patients ask for and guide them toward options that make sense for them. Creating balanced, proportional results and maintaining our integrity as a trusted leader in aesthetic medicine is what matters most to us. When we choose to add a device to our offerings, it is because we love the benefits that it provides.  Bringing the Newest Technology to You at RSMD BBL® HEROic™  This updated broadband light platform builds on the earlier BBL HERO device with faster, more even pulses and real-time feedback. It treats redness, brown spots, and overall skin tone with more speed and comfort than older models. HEROic™ uses smart mapping and temperature monitoring to optimize each pass and gives us better control and more efficient results. MOXI® MOXI® is a non-ablative laser that treats early signs of aging, sun damage, and uneven skin tone without breaking the skin’s surface. It’s ideal for younger patients or anyone looking for light resurfacing with little downtime. Other lasers focus on removing layers of skin and treating deeper damage, while MOXI® laser fills the gap for maintenance and prevention. Sofwave™ Sofwave™ uses ultrasound to stimulate collagen remodeling in the mid-dermis, where lifting and tightening are most effective, without damaging the surface. Sofwave™ offers a more precise, focused energy delivery that helps smooth and firm the skin while preserving surrounding structures. It includes Sofcool™ technology to keep you comfortable and can be used for all skin types.  Genius RF This microneedling platform combines radiofrequency with smart feedback sensors that adapt to different skin thicknesses in real time. Genius RF stands apart from earlier RF microneedling systems by offering better depth control and energy delivery, which can be helpful when treating scarring, wrinkles, or laxity in areas with variable skin density. Daxxify® Daxxify® is a newer neuromodulator that treats dynamic wrinkles like frown lines, similar to Botox®. What makes it different is a unique peptide-based stabilizer, which may contribute to longer-lasting effects. With Daxxify, patients have more options that can lead to less frequent injection schedules, depending on how they respond. Check out Daxxify Dallas SKINVIVE™ by Juvéderm® SKINVIVE™ is a hydrating microdroplet injectable made from hyaluronic acid, designed to improve skin smoothness and glow without adding volume. It’s different from traditional fillers, which focus more on structure or contour. This treatment supports moisture retention and skin quality from within. Accufit™  and CoolSculpting® Elite We offer both Accufit™, for muscle activation, and CoolSculpting® Elite, for fat reduction, to help patients improve body contours without surgery. Accufit™ uses electrical stimulation to replicate real workouts, targeting multiple muscle groups with customizable intensity. CoolSculpting® Elite refines the original CoolSculpting® technology with dual applicators and better surface contact, improving both coverage and comfort. Erbium Laser Resurfacing We offer advanced erbium laser resurfacing near me to restore smoother, healthier, and more youthful-looking skin. This treatment targets fine lines, wrinkles, and sun damage with precision, delivering natural results and minimal downtime. How We Stay at the Forefront Aesthetics is our passion and is something we think about and study outside the treatment room. Dr. Burns stays active in the medical community by lecturing, authoring, serving on scientific advisory boards, contributing to clinical trials, and continually exchanging ideas with other physicians. We are always learning, always questioning, and always looking for better ways to treat our patients.  Discover What’s Possible With Today’s Aesthetic Innovations Staying current with advancements in aesthetic medicine allows us to offer treatments that are supported by research, patient feedback, and real-world results. At Resurrect Skin MD in Dallas, TX, we focus on bringing in technologies that can help refresh, restore, and enhance your features in a way that feels natural.

Dermal fillers, neurotoxins like Botox and Daxxify, skin boosters… they each offer something a little different. But among the various options available today, one stands out from the rest — Sculptra, a biostimulator that works with your body’s natural processes to increase collagen production and restore lost volume from within. Given its higher upfront cost and gradual timeline, many patients wonder: is Sculptra truly worth the investment? The answer, according to those who've experienced its transformative effects, is a resounding yes. This unique injectable offers benefits that other treatments simply can't match, boosting collagen production for a completely natural look while delivering results that last for years. At Resurrect Skin MD, we love Sculptra, and our patients do, too. Keep reading to discover the five most compelling reasons why they say it’s worth every penny.  View this post on Instagram A post shared by Resurrect Skin MD (@resurrectskinmd) 1. Gradual Results for a More Natural Look Unlike traditional fillers that use hyaluronic acid (HA) to immediately restore lost volume, Sculptra works differently, stimulating collagen production for results that develop gradually. While this might seem like a disadvantage, it’s actually one of Sculptra's greatest strengths. Restoring lost volume through natural processes means you won't experience the "overdone" appearance that can occur with traditional HA-based fillers. Instead, your face slowly regains its youthful fullness in a way that’s subtle yet refined. Friends and family will notice that you look refreshed and revitalized, but they won't be able to pinpoint exactly what has changed. 2. Longevity That Outperforms Other Fillers When evaluating the cost-effectiveness of any aesthetic treatment, longevity plays a crucial role in determining overall value. As a biostimulator, Sculptra excels in this area, with results that can last up to two years or more, which is significantly longer than traditional dermal fillers. Most HA fillers last for six to 18 months and require touch-ups to maintain optimal results. In places with more movement — think the lips, cheeks or around the mouth — filler may break down and dissolve even sooner, but this can vary depending on the brand used. Some fillers, like the RHA Collection, are more resilient and designed for even the most expressive areas. Sculpta lasts longer than most fillers because it doesn’t just simply “add” volume. Instead, it uses poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) microspheres to stimulate natural collagen production, the protein that keeps our skin smooth and firm. As these microspheres are absorbed by the body, they improve the skin’s inner structure and gradually reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles. 3. Stimulates Natural Collagen Production After the age of ~25, collagen (the protein responsible for skin firmness and elasticity) production drops by about 1% each year. By encouraging the growth of new collagen, Sculptra addresses the root cause of facial aging rather than just masking its symptoms. This fundamental difference explains why Sculptra results look so natural and feel so authentic. But wait, there’s more! The increased collagen after Sculptra does more than smooth away wrinkles and replace lost volume. Patients often report subtle yet holistic improvements in overall skin quality: treated areas feel firmer and more supple, with increased elasticity that restores a youthful “bounce.” And with Sculptra, the PLLA microspheres continue to boost collagen production even after your treatment series is complete for maintenance-free results. 4. The Coveted “Sculptra Glow”  Beyond the volumizing effects of Sculptra, patients rave about what’s become known as the “Sculptra glow.” This phenomenon is one of Sculptra’s most beloved and unexpected benefits, triggering structural changes that start from within to change how your skin looks and feels. What’s behind the Sculptra glow? As new collagen fibers form in treated areas, they rebuild underlying frameworks to improve skin texture, resilience and thickness. As it turns out, smoother, firmer skin reflects light better, providing a youthful radiance. Sculptra’s ability to restore lost volume also softens harsh contours and makes enlarged pores less noticeable, contributing to a more refined appearance. Many patients tell us they get compliments on their skin for months after treatment, even when others can't pinpoint exactly what’s different. While patients and providers have long appreciated these skin-enhancing benefits, the FDA recently expanded Sculptra’s approval to include the improvement of cheek wrinkles and overall skin quality, confirming the glow effect is real. In clinical studies, 95% of participants reported fewer wrinkles, healthier-looking skin and enhanced radiance two years after treatment. 5. FDA-Approved & Widely Trusted Sculptra is widely recognized in the world of medical aesthetics, backed by rigorous scientific research, clinical trials and regulatory approval that spans two decades. It has earned the trust of healthcare providers worldwide who have administered millions of Sculptra treatments, creating a substantial body of evidence that demonstrates both safety and effectiveness. This established foundation of trust and proven performance sets Sculptra apart from newer injectables. While the aesthetic industry frequently introduces new products with limited long-term data, Sculptra's decades-long presence provides the confidence that comes only with time and real-world success. In the hands of skilled providers like ours, you benefit from a proven product and the kind of expertise that separates good results from exceptional ones.  The Economics of Long-Lasting Results When patients ask whether Sculptra is worth it, we encourage them to think beyond the initial price tag. While traditional fillers might seem more affordable upfront, Sculptra transforms what might feel like a recurring expense into a true investment that pays dividends through the years. The real value of Sculptra lies not just in what it costs, but in what it delivers: the freedom from frequent touch-ups, the confidence that comes with natural results, and the satisfaction of addressing aging at its source. For patients ready to take a comprehensive approach to facial rejuvenation, Sculptra offers benefits that simply can't be replicated by any other treatment.

Patients ask us all the time: Which is better, Dysport or Botox? If your goal is to smooth out frown lines, soften crow’s feet or prevent new wrinkles from forming, both treatments are excellent options. Botox and Dysport are FDA-approved neuromodulators that work in similar ways, but they differ slightly in how they’re formulated, how fast they take effect and how they’re used in real-life aesthetic care. At Resurrect Skin MD, we’ve worked extensively with both. We don’t just administer these treatments—we use them ourselves and evaluate them daily in practice. Dr. Burns often recommends Dysport over Botox for reasons you’ll see below, but the right choice depends on you: your features, goals, preferences and lifestyle. Let’s walk through the differences so you can feel informed before your next visit. What Is Botox? Botox is the brand name for onabotulinumtoxinA, a purified protein that temporarily relaxes the small muscles responsible for repeated expressions like frowning, squinting or raising your eyebrows. It works by interrupting the nerve signals that tell those muscles to contract. This softens the appearance of dynamic wrinkles—the ones that deepen over time with habitual movement. Botox is most commonly used to treat: Frown lines (between the eyebrows) Horizontal forehead lines Crow’s feet at the corners of the eyes Results from Botox typically appear within three to seven days and last around three to four months. What Is Dysport? Dysport is another injectable neuromodulator made from botulinum toxin type A (abobotulinumtoxinA). Like Botox, it relaxes facial muscles to minimize the appearance of visible wrinkles. However, Dysport has a different formulation that affects how it spreads under the skin and how quickly results appear. Dysport is especially effective for treating: Moderate to severe glabellar lines (frown lines) Larger areas like the forehead Patients seeking faster onset Most people begin to see results within two to three days of a Dysport treatment. These results typically last around three to four months, and sometimes longer, depending on the individual patient. What Are the Key Differences Between Dysport and Botox? While Dysport and Botox are both trusted solutions for smoothing dynamic wrinkles, they aren’t identical in how they work or how they’re used. Subtle differences in formulation, spread, onset time and dosing can influence which option is better suited for your features and goals. At Resurrect Skin MD, we take these differences seriously because even small factors can make a big impact on your results.  Treatment Focus Both Botox and Dysport are designed to treat dynamic wrinkles, but they differ in how they spread and interact with the tissue beneath the skin. Dysport diffuses more easily, making it an excellent choice for larger areas where a soft, feathered effect is preferred.  Botox, on the other hand, remains more localized, allowing for greater precision in smaller treatment zones or patients concerned about product spread. At Resurrect Skin MD, we carefully assess your facial structure and muscle movement to determine which option will deliver the most natural and balanced result. Speed of Results Dysport generally takes effect faster than Botox, with noticeable improvements often appearing within two to three days. In contrast, Botox typically takes about three to seven days for full results to develop. This quicker onset makes Dysport an appealing option for patients preparing for an upcoming event or those who simply want to see their glow-up sooner. Dosage and Units The unit measurements of Dysport and Botox are not interchangeable, which can be confusing at first glance. Dysport typically requires more units than Botox to achieve a similar effect, but this doesn’t mean it’s less effective.  The difference lies in how each product is formulated and measured. Dysport is more diluted than Botox. Many people think of one unit of Botox as roughly equivalent to three units of Dysport. At Resurrect Skin MD, dosing is always based on your individual goals and needs, not just the number of vials. Sensation and Comfort Most patients find both treatments tolerable, but some say Dysport injections feel slightly smoother during application. There’s no major difference in discomfort or side effects when administered by an experienced provider. Longevity of Results In most cases, results from both Dysport and Botox last three to four months. That said, some patients find that Dysport lasts longer in certain areas, particularly the glabella (the area between the eyebrows). Others may respond better to Botox based on their muscle tone or metabolic rate. Dr. Burns and our team maintain detailed records of your response to each product, allowing us to fine-tune your treatment plan over time. We never take a one-size-fits-all approach. We tailor every recommendation to your goals, expressions and experiences. Who Should Consider Dysport? Dysport may be the better choice if you: Want faster results with little waiting time Prefer a softer, more blended finish—especially on large treatment areas Are new to injectables and want a gentler introduction to neuromodulators Have previously used Botox and found the results wore off too quickly Who Might Benefit More from Botox? Botox may be ideal for: Small, precise treatment areas like brow lifts or perioral lines Patients with a long history of using Botox and consistent results Individuals concerned about product spread or diffusion Can You Switch Between Botox and Dysport? Many patients switch between the two based on how their body responds, or how their skin and goals evolve. If you’ve been using Botox and feel like your results are plateauing, trying Dysport could offer a fresh and effective change. During your consultation, your injector will review your full treatment history and recommend the best option moving forward. Your Personalized Plan Starts at Resurrect Skin MD At Resurrect Skin MD, you’re not just getting wrinkle reduction—you’re getting a comprehensive, personalized experience. Dr. Burns and our expert team bring a deep understanding of facial anatomy, injectables and skin health to every consultation. Whether you choose Dysport or Botox, your treatment will be precisely tailored to deliver smooth, natural results. Call Resurrect Skin MD at 219-754-6865 or schedule your consultation online. Let’s create a plan that brings your skin—and your confidence—to life. ### Understanding the Four Pillars of Aging: A Holistic Approach to Youthful Skin The aging process is not one-dimensional. While many people focus on just one aspect of their appearance — perhaps trying to eliminate wrinkles or restore lost volume — true facial rejuvenation demands a more complete approach. Dr. A. Jay Burns, founder of Resurrect Skin MD, uses a framework he calls the "Four Pillars of Aging" to explain how aging changes our faces. By addressing all four pillars together, you can achieve results that look natural and harmonious rather than overdone or imbalanced. The First Pillar: Gravity Gravity’s downward pull is relentless. Over time, you might notice your eyebrows becoming heavier, the corners of your mouth turning south or jowls developing along your jawline. Your neck may also start to show signs of laxity or a “turkey wattle”. These gravitational changes occur because the supporting structures beneath your skin (connective tissue, muscle and fat) gradually weaken with age. The result is a face that appears to be sliding downward, creating a tired or sad expression even when you feel energetic and happy. Surgical procedures like facelifts and neck lifts provide the most dramatic and lasting results for gravitational changes. However, if you have mild to moderate sagging, or if you prefer nonsurgical options, treatments like Genius radiofrequency microneedling, INDIBA and Sofwave can give you noticeable improvement. The Second Pillar: Dynamic Lines Every time you smile, frown or raise your eyebrows, your facial muscles contract. In youth, your skin springs back immediately after these expressions. But as you age, repetitive muscle movements start to etch lines into your skin, and eventually they remain visible even when your face is at rest. These dynamic lines commonly appear as: Horizontal forehead lines from raising your eyebrows Vertical frown lines between your eyebrows (the "11s") Crow's feet radiating from the corners of your eyes Lines around the mouth from smiling or pursing your lips The gold standard for treating dynamic lines is neuromodulators like Botox, Dysport and Daxxify. These injectables temporarily relax the muscles that cause the wrinkles, smoothing existing lines and preventing new ones from forming.  The Third Pillar: Skin Quality Dr. Burns describes the skin as the canvas on which the face is painted. No matter how well you address the other pillars of aging, if your skin shows significant damage, you won't achieve a truly youthful appearance. Skin quality declines due to multiple factors, including: Sun exposure, which causes up to 90% of visible aging through a process called photoaging Environmental damage from pollution, smoke and other toxins Lifestyle factors like diet, sleep quality and stress Hormonal changes that affect collagen production and skin thickness Improving skin quality often requires a combination of approaches. Laser and light treatments like BBL HERO and HEROic, MOXI, HALO, DermaV or deep laser resurfacing can address pigmentation issues, redness and texture concerns. Chemical peels remove damaged skin cells to reveal fresher, healthier skin beneath. We couple these in-office treatments with medical-grade skincare products that target your specific concerns and protect against further damage. The Fourth Pillar: Volume Loss We gradually lose facial fat in specific areas while sometimes gaining it in others. Our cheeks flatten, temples hollow, lips thin and under-eye areas may develop troughs or depressions. These volume changes don't just create hollows where fullness once existed — they also affect how light reflects off your face. Youthful faces have a pattern of highlights and shadows that creates a vibrant, three-dimensional appearance. Volume loss disrupts this pattern, leaving you looking tired and drawn regardless of how well-rested you are. Dermal fillers are the primary treatment for addressing volume loss. We carry a range of fillers and biostimulators from the world’s best-known brands, including: Juvéderm Restylane RHA Sculptra When administered with our injectors’ artistic eye and deep understanding of facial anatomy, fillers can restore your youthful contours while maintaining your natural movement and expressions. Why a Balanced Approach to the Four Pillars of Aging Matters Treating all four pillars of aging in harmony creates the most natural-looking results. Consider a 70-year-old woman who gets a facelift. Her facial contours may look 50 after surgery, but her skin still shows the damage and texture of a 70-year-old. This mismatch creates an unnatural appearance that draws attention rather than admiration. Similarly, over-treating one pillar while neglecting others leads to an unbalanced look. Using excessive filler to compensate for gravitational changes, for instance, results in the "pillow face" that has become unfortunately common in some aesthetic circles.   The goal isn't to look dramatically different or decades younger. We want you to achieve a refreshed appearance that retains your uniqueness and keeps all aspects of your face in beautiful balance. The RSMD Approach: Skin to Life™ At Resurrect Skin MD, Dr. Burns has developed a comprehensive methodology called Skin to Life™ that addresses all four pillars of aging. This approach begins with a thorough analysis of your unique aging pattern and personal aesthetic goals. Your Skin to Life™ journey starts with a consultation that includes a complete assessment of how each pillar is affecting your appearance. Using this information, Dr. Burns and his team develop a personalized treatment plan that may include: Neuromodulators to relax dynamic wrinkles Laser and energy-based treatments to improve skin quality and tightness Chemical peel Dallas treatments to exfoliate, brighten, and rejuvenate the skin Dermal fillers to restore lost volume Surgical procedures for significant gravitational changes Dr. Burns’ involvement in device development, scientific advisory boards, and clinical trials gives RSMD early access to advanced technologies. This means you benefit from the latest innovations in aesthetic medicine, delivered by a team with exceptional training and experience. Treating aging isn’t about a single procedure or product; it’s a long-term relationship and an ongoing process. Your treatment plan will evolve as your face continues to change, ensuring you enjoy natural-looking results throughout your life.

That weight that won't budge despite your best efforts? The mental fog making you fumble for words that used to come easily? You may be tempted to call these symptoms "just getting older," but they might signal something more specific: hormone imbalance. Hormones are your body's chemical messengers. They have a hand in nearly every bodily function from metabolism and mood to reproduction and sleep. So when they fall out of balance, the effects can ripple through your entire system, often in ways you wouldn’t expect. Many people suffer with hormone disruption for years before getting help, assuming these changes are unavoidable aspects of aging. Learning to spot the warning signs can help you recognize when it's time to seek professional guidance rather than settling for a diminished quality of life. Sign #1: Persistent Fatigue Hormone-related fatigue differs from occasional tiredness. It doesn’t disappear after a good night's sleep or a relaxing weekend. Instead, it's a profound, persistent exhaustion that seems to permeate every aspect of your life.  Your thyroid hormones regulate your metabolic rate and energy production at the cellular level. When thyroid function diminishes, you may feel like you’re moving through molasses — physically drained despite adequate rest. If your cortisol levels are out of whack, you may feel wide awake when you should be winding down and exhausted when you need to be alert. Consider seeking help when fatigue interferes with your daily activities, persists despite healthy sleep habits or includes symptoms like weakness, dizziness or difficulty recovering from minor exertion. Sign #2: Unexplained Weight Changes Is your body responding differently to your usual diet and exercise routine? Unexplained weight gain, especially around your midsection, may signal hormone disruption rather than simply eating too much or moving too little. Several key hormones regulate your metabolism and fat storage: Insulin controls how your body uses and stores glucose Thyroid hormones determine how quickly you burn calories Cortisol influences where fat is stored Sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone affect muscle mass and fat distribution When these hormones fall out of balance, your body may cling to fat stores despite caloric restriction or regular exercise. You might also notice shifts in how your weight is distributed, such as increased abdominal fat in women or breast tissue development in men. Sign #3: Mood Disruptions Hormones and neurotransmitters (brain chemicals that regulate mood) work together. This means that mood swings, anxiety or feelings of depression might not be all in your head. They could be rooted in your endocrine system.  Estrogen helps regulate serotonin, the "feel-good" neurotransmitter associated with positive mood. When estrogen fluctuates or declines, many women experience increased anxiety, depression or irritability. Thyroid imbalances frequently manifest as mood disorders, with low thyroid function often mimicking clinical depression. Testosterone deficiencies can trigger irritability or low mood in both men and women. The hallmark of hormone-related mood issues is their disconnect from your circumstances. You might burst into tears over a minor inconvenience or feel disproportionately angry about something small. These emotional waves can crash over you seemingly out of nowhere, leaving you wondering, "Why am I feeling this way when everything is actually fine?" Sign #4: Sleep Disturbances Do you lie awake at night, exhausted but unable to sleep? Or perhaps you fall asleep easily only to wake at 3 a.m. with your mind racing?  Several hormones affect your sleep-wake cycle: Melatonin signals your body when it's time to sleep Cortisol helps you wake up and stay alert during the day Progesterone promotes relaxation and deep sleep Estrogen helps maintain sleep quality throughout the night Common hormone-related sleep issues include night sweats or hot flashes, anxiety or racing thoughts at bedtime, or early morning awakening that leaves you unable to doze off again. Many patients describe feeling "tired but wired" — utterly exhausted yet unable to fall into restful sleep. This creates a vicious cycle. Sleep deprivation raises cortisol levels, impairs insulin sensitivity and disrupts appetite-regulating hormones, all of which worsen existing hormone imbalances. Sign #5: Declining Sexual Function Sexual desire and function naturally fluctuate throughout life, but sudden or significant declines often signal hormone imbalance.  For men, hormone changes can lead to: Reduced libido or interest in sexual activity Difficulty achieving or maintaining erections Diminished satisfaction or performance Lower semen volume Women might experience: Reduced desire or responsiveness Vaginal dryness and discomfort during intercourse Difficulty reaching orgasm Decreased sensitivity These changes shouldn’t be dismissed as inevitable parts of getting older. Hormone replacement therapy can address many sexual function concerns, restoring physical function and the pleasure and intimacy that come with a healthy sex life. Sign #6: Cognitive Changes That frustrating "brain fog" making it difficult to concentrate, remember details or maintain mental clarity might not stem from cognitive decline.  Estrogen supports neurotransmitter function and helps maintain your brain's structural integrity. When levels decline, you might struggle with word retrieval, multitasking or processing complex information. Thyroid hormones affect energy availability to brain cells, with imbalances often causing confusion or poor concentration. Hormone-related cognitive symptoms often fluctuate with your hormone levels. You might notice certain times of day, month or year when your thinking seems sharper or more muddled. These patterns provide important clues that can help differentiate between hormone-related brain fog and other causes of cognitive decline. Sign #7: Changes in Appearance Hormone fluctuations often reveal themselves through visible changes in your skin, hair, and body composition. Estrogen helps maintain skin thickness, elasticity and moisture. As levels decline, you might notice increased dryness, thinning and wrinkling. Testosterone affects sebum production and hair growth patterns, with imbalances sometimes causing adult acne, male pattern baldness or unwanted facial hair in women. Thyroid hormones influence hair thickness and growth, and hypothyroidism often causes hair loss. Hormones also affect your body composition (the ratio of muscle to fat). Both men and women typically lose muscle mass as hormone levels decline while gaining stores of fat. These changes affect your appearance as well as your strength, endurance and energy. EvexiPEL®: A Modern Solution for Hormone Imbalance If you've recognized several of these signs in your own life, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can help. Today's options for hormone optimization offer advantages over treatments from even a decade ago. EvexiPEL delivers bioidentical hormones through tiny pellets placed just beneath the skin. The pellets release a steady stream of hormones that mimic your body's natural hormone patterns, providing stable levels for three to six months with a single treatment.  The bioidentical hormones used in EvexiPEL are derived from plant sources but structurally identical to those your body naturally produces. This molecular match minimizes side effects while maximizing therapeutic benefits. The insertion procedure takes just 15 minutes and is performed right here in our office. Once placed, you can return immediately to most normal activities without the daily hassle of applying creams or remembering to take pills. Ready to Feel Like Yourself Again? Don't resign yourself to living with symptoms that drain your energy and diminish your joy. Contact our team at Resurrect Skin MD today at 219-754-6865 to schedule a consultation and discover whether hormone optimization with EvexiPEL might be right for you. ### Comparing Nonsurgical Skin Tightening Options: Is Sofwave Right for You? For years, our patients have asked for ways to address skin laxity without surgery. In response to the surging interest in nonsurgical skin tightening, we've seen a marketplace flooded with devices promising to turn back the clock without downtime. At Resurrect Skin MD, we know that not all devices are created equal. Some deliver on their promises while others fall short, and what works wonderfully for one patient might not be the best choice for another. After evaluating countless devices over his 30-year career, Dr. Burns has found Sofwave to be the most effective nonsurgical skin tightening treatment yet. We're proud to offer the best aesthetic technologies in the world at Resurrect Skin MD, and we don't take it lightly when we say Sofwave is currently the best in its category. How Nonsurgical Skin Tightening Technologies Work Our skin contains networks of collagen and elastin fibers that give it structure and elasticity. These proteins are abundant in youth, which is why young skin bounces back easily and maintains its shape.  But as we get older, our production of these proteins slows down and the existing fibers deteriorate. This allows the effects of gravity, sun damage and time to show more clearly on our faces. Nonsurgical skin tightening technologies work by stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin. This process, called neocollagenesis, helps restore some of the structure and elasticity your skin has lost. The most critical difference between nonsurgical skin tightening devices is how they achieve this goal. Sofwave: the New Gold Standard Sofwave is a state-of-the-art skin tightening system powered by ultrasound energy. The device's proprietary Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam Technology (SUPERB) technology delivers energy to the precise depth of 1.5mm in the mid-dermis — exactly where our collagen-producing cells reside. The energy heats the mid-dermis to 60 to 70°C. This temperature range is high enough to stimulate collagen growth but low enough to prevent damage to the surrounding tissues. Treatments are well tolerated, and in most cases, our patients see some immediate improvement in their skin. The collagen remodeling continues for months after the appointment. Sofwave is FDA-cleared for lifting the eyebrows, neck, jawline and under the chin. It can also be used to reduce fine lines and wrinkles in the face, chest, abdomen and extremities. We have found it to be not only effective, but also more comfortable, convenient and consistent than its competitors. Sofwave vs. Other Skin Tightening Technologies Is Sofwave the best choice to bring your Skin to Life™? If you're concerned with drooping brows, sagging skin under your chin, loss of jawline definition or skin laxity in your neck, here's why we think the answer could be yes. Sofwave vs. Ultherapy  Ultherapy is one of the biggest names in nonsurgical skin tightening. Like Sofwave, Ultherapy uses ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production. Having used both, Dr. Burns believes Sofwave is the superior treatment for several reasons: Treatment Depth: Ultherapy can deliver energy at various depths from 1.5mm to 4.5mm. While this might sound advantageous, treating at deeper levels can lead to more discomfort and less predictable results. Sofwave delivers energy at a consistent 1.5mm depth.  Treatment Time: A facial treatment with Ultherapy usually requires 60-90 minutes. The same treatment with Sofwave typically takes just 30-45 minutes. Patient Comfort: Ultherapy often requires pain management strategies to make the treatment tolerable. Sofwave has an integrated cooling system that makes the treatment more comfortable and protects the skin's surface. Recovery & Side Effects: Neither treatment requires downtime. However, Ultherapy patients tend to experience more noticeable and persistent side effects, such as swelling and bruising. Sofwave patients generally see only mild, temporary redness that resolves within hours. Results: Both technologies can improve skin firmness, but we've found Sofwave delivers its results more comfortably and consistently. Its excellent safety profile and reliable outcomes are backed by robust clinical studies and the experiences of our patients. Sofwave vs. Radiofrequency Treatments Radiofrequency (RF) technology has been used for skin tightening since the early 2000s. Just like when we use ultrasound devices, the goal of these treatments is to use heat to trigger the production of new collagen and elastin. Ultrasound devices generate heat with sound waves; radiofrequency devices do it with a type of electromagnetic energy. Thermage and Forma are two of the most well-known devices in the radiofrequency skin tightening category. Both are noninvasive treatments, like Sofwave, with no required downtime and lasting results. So, why do we prefer Sofwave at RSMD? Radiofrequency treatments tend to target the superficial skin layers. This can be effective for early signs of aging, but It may not provide enough improvement for patients with more noticeable skin laxity.  Sofwave's ability to deliver energy at the optimal 1.5mm depth allows it to address mild to moderate skin laxity more effectively. Most patients see meaningful improvement after just one session, and the tightening and lifting effects are stronger. Sofwave vs. Radiofrequency Microneedling There are also systems that combine radiofrequency technology with microneedling, like Profound, Secret RF, Morpheus8 and Genius. These devices stimulate collagen production and address surface-level concerns such as uneven skin texture, pigmentation, acne scars and enlarged pores. There's a lot to love about these treatments. Our Genius system is a versatile problem-solver that addresses a variety of aesthetic concerns (including skin laxity) on all skin tones. We've achieved many beautiful results with both microneedling and RF microneedling. However, if skin laxity is your primary concern, Sofwave may be a better fit. The system's focused ultrasound energy can treat more advanced skin laxity and produce more dramatic results in fewer sessions. Sofwave vs. Laser Treatments Lasers are a specialty here at Resurrect Skin MD. We think they're one of the most versatile technologies in the world — but that doesn't mean they're good for everything. Dr. Burns, who is internationally renowned for his expertise in laser technology, strongly advises against using lasers for skin tightening.  The problem lies in how lasers work. To achieve a meaningful tightening effect with a laser, you need to generate enough heat to cause significant tissue damage. As Dr. Burns explains, "If you get to the point that a laser is tightening your skin, it's causing a burn. A burn is a terrible injury. You don't want a burn, so you don't want to push lasers to tighten skin." Lasers excel at rejuvenating and resurfacing the skin. But when it comes to skin tightening, devices specifically designed for that purpose, like Sofwave, are more effective and much safer. Start Your Skin Tightening Journey at Resurrect Skin MD Our expert team, led by Dr. Burns, has evaluated countless technologies to ensure we offer only the most effective, scientifically proven solutions. We're confident Sofwave currently provides the best combination of results, comfort and convenience for most patients seeking nonsurgical skin tightening.

You're thrilled with your progress, but as you start to get closer to your ideal weight, you might see some unexpected changes in your appearance.  Maybe your skin isn't bouncing back the way you hoped, or you're noticing some stubborn fat pockets that just won't budge. And is your mind playing tricks on you, or are you losing muscle as well as fat? Your weight loss transformation doesn’t stop at reaching a target number on the scale. The ultimate goal is feeling confident, healthy, and proud of the skin you're in, and sometimes that takes a few extra steps. At Resurrect Skin MD, we've curated cutting-edge treatments and technologies to address the unwanted physical changes that often accompany weight loss. We see these as essential parts of our weight loss program. In fact, we believe so strongly in this holistic approach that, once you reach your weight goals, we'll offer you your choice of a complimentary session with one of these services to enhance your results. How Does Losing Weight Change Your Body? Losing weight can transform your health and quality of life in countless positive ways. You may feel more energetic, have fewer aches and pains, lower your risk of developing health conditions, and so much more. However, it's not uncommon to experience some appearance changes that aren’t as welcome as the weight loss itself, such as: Loose or sagging skin Loss of facial volume Stubborn fat pockets Decreased muscle tone These changes occur because when you lose weight, you're not just losing fat; you're also losing some muscle mass and the structural support that once kept your skin taut. Factors like age, genetics, and sun damage can also influence how your skin responds to weight loss. We've seen firsthand how these changes impact our patients' self-confidence and satisfaction. It takes dedication to reach your weight loss goals, and being left with new concerns can take away from the joy you should be feeling about your achievements. You deserve to love the way you look and feel, from head to toe. When we design your weight loss plan, it will include all modalities our team believes will help you reach your goals. We have the best technology in the world, and our accomplished providers know how to use these tools in the most creative and effective ways. Tracking Your Progress With ShapeScale Every weight loss plan at Resurrect Skin MD includes assessments with ShapeScale, a state-of-the-art body composition and body contour tracking system.  ShapeScale creates a 3D model of your body in less than a minute. This helps us fine-tune your treatment plan and allows you to see your progress beyond pounds lost. With the accompanying free app, you can track your body composition changes over time and visualize your transformation like never before. Tightening Loose Skin With Sofwave When you gain weight, your skin stretches to accommodate the extra volume. When you lose weight, especially if it happens rapidly, your skin may not have enough elasticity to “snap back” to its original size. This is why one of the most common complaints our patients have after weight loss is loose or sagging skin.  Sofwave is a noninvasive, no-downtime skin tightening treatment that uses ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production. The treatment can deliver visible improvements in skin quality and firmness after just one 30 to 45-minute session. Building and Sculpting Muscle With Accufit Losing weight sometimes leads to more than losing fat. When your body is in a calorie deficit, it may break down both fat and muscle tissue for energy. This loss of muscle mass can leave you with a softer, less toned appearance than you were hoping for once you've reached your goal weight. Accufit is an innovative muscle-strengthening and toning treatment that uses electromagnetic energy to stimulate thousands of muscle contractions in a single session. This technology can help you build strength, improve muscle definition, enhance your body composition, and give you the sculpted physique you've been working towards. Unlike traditional workouts, Accufit targets multiple muscle groups simultaneously for more efficient results. Whether you're looking to complement your weight loss efforts or refine your shape after reaching your goal, Accufit provides a non-invasive way to rebuild and tone muscle for a firmer, more athletic appearance. Reducing Fat With CoolSculpting Certain areas of our bodies are prone to holding onto fat. It’s not due to a lack of effort or willpower, but rather to our individual genetic makeup. These stubborn fat pockets can persist even if your weight loss program has been successful. CoolSculpting is an FDA-cleared, noninvasive treatment that freezes fat cells in specific areas of the body. Once frozen, the fat cells are naturally eliminated by your body, giving you a leaner, more sculpted appearance. CoolSculpting can be an excellent complement to your weight loss journey, helping you see results even in those hard-to-tone areas. Smoothing Cellulite With INDIBA Cellulite affects people of all shapes and sizes, but it can become more noticeable after weight loss. Its dimpled, "orange peel" appearance is caused by a combination of factors, including the structure of your connective tissue, the distribution of fat cells, and the thickness and elasticity of your skin.  INDIBA is a unique treatment that uses radiofrequency energy to reduce the appearance of cellulite and improve uneven fat distribution. By heating the deeper layers of your skin and underlying tissues, INDIBA helps to smooth, tighten, and contour the treated areas. It is another powerful way to put the finishing touches on your weight loss results. Accelerate Fat Loss With The Skinny Shot The Skinny Shot is a breakthrough in medical weight management designed to accelerate fat loss and improve energy naturally. By combining powerful GLP-1 and GIP peptides, the Skinny Shot helps regulate appetite, enhance metabolism, and support sustainable weight reduction without extreme dieting. It’s an ideal solution for patients who have reached a plateau in their fitness or diet efforts and want a safe, effective boost. If you’ve been searching for the Skinny Shot near me, Resurrect Skin MD offers this advanced treatment as part of our holistic approach to achieving long-term, healthy weight management and confidence in your results. Restoring Facial Volume With Dermal Fillers You may find that your face looks thinner or more hollow after weight loss, with more prominent wrinkles, folds, and shadows. This is because the fat pads that provide youthful fullness to your face can also shrink when you lose weight, giving a more aged or gaunt appearance. To counteract this, RSMD offers a variety of premium dermal fillers from brands like Juvéderm, Restylane, RHA, and Sculptra. Our injectors use these fillers to restore lost volume in the cheeks, temples, lips, under-eyes, and other areas that require contouring. We use a precise and artistic approach to create flattering, natural-looking results. Achieve Your Ultimate Body Goals at Resurrect Skin MD You deserve to feel confident and proud of your accomplishments. The Resurrect Skin MD team is here to provide the support you need to not only reach your weight loss goals but also love the way you look and feel. Whether you're interested in our advanced weight loss solutions like the Skinny Shot, our state-of-the-art body contouring options, or enhancing your weight loss results at Resurrect Skin MD with advanced treatments to tighten skin, tone muscle, and refine your new shape. Or our rejuvenating facial treatments, we have the tools and expertise to help you achieve results that exceed your expectations.

According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 13% of adult Americans were obese in 1962. As of 2020, this figure has risen to over 40% and remained relatively stable.  These statistics show how complex a weight loss journey can be. Although the benefits of maintaining a healthy weight are well known and well documented, many people find it extremely difficult. It’s easy to see why so many patients come to us feeling frustrated and discouraged despite having put in their best efforts. At Resurrect Skin MD, we believe having a medical team by your side is one of the most effective ways to achieve weight loss and sustain your success long-term. We’ve designed a comprehensive weight loss program that combines medication (the “Skinny Shot”), lifestyle modifications, nutrition guidance and ongoing support. We believe it’s one of the best weight loss programs Dallas has to offer, and we’re excited to share it with you. What Is Medical Weight Loss? Medical weight loss goes far beyond traditional diet and exercise programs or the fads promoted by “gurus” on social media. Your guidance comes from qualified healthcare providers who have an advanced understanding of the biological and metabolic factors that can make weight loss challenging. Medically supervised programs are personalized and comprehensive, with an emphasis on safety. Your program is customized based on personal factors like your body composition, metabolism, medical history, lifestyle and goals. Medical weight loss can include: Medical assessments and lab work Body composition tracking FDA-approved medications Exercise programming Nutritional guidance Lifestyle modifications Behavioral counseling Ongoing support and monitoring The goal of this holistic approach isn’t just shedding pounds but doing so in a way that is sustainable. We want you to learn healthy habits that will stick with you for life. The Benefits of Choosing a Medical Weight Loss Program When you choose a medical weight loss program like we offer at Resurrect Skin MD, you gain access to treatments, expertise and support that aren't available through commercial weight loss programs or self-directed efforts. Medical Expertise and Safety  Our program is administered by qualified healthcare providers who care about your health and safety. We conduct detailed tests and assessments to design a plan that’s appropriate for you, and we will adjust your plan based on your response to it. Medical oversight helps prevent complications, treat them if they arise and ensure you're losing weight in a healthy way. Professional Support and Education  You work directly with our team, including a physician extender and RN coordinator, who will teach you how to administer your medications and provide guidance on nutrition and lifestyle modifications that support your goals. This personalized attention helps you develop sustainable habits for long-term success. Customized Treatment Plans If you’re familiar with our Skin to Life™ philosophy, you know we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all aesthetic treatments. We take the same approach to weight loss. Your program is tailored to your specific needs to ensure you receive a treatment that actually works for you. Evidence-Based Methods  We follow science, not trends. Our program combines FDA-approved medication with proven strategies for weight loss. Every product and device we use at RSMD is carefully curated and vetted by Dr. Burns, guaranteeing that we only offer treatments we feel have strong scientific support and a good safety profile. Structured Accountability  Regular check-ins and monitoring help keep you on track toward your goals. Our team provides consistent support and encouragement, helping you overcome obstacles and maintain motivation throughout your program. This accountability structure significantly increases your chances of success. Comprehensive Body Transformation  Weight loss affects your body in various ways, some more welcome than others. As both a medical weight loss provider and aesthetic practice, RSMD uniquely understands these changes and is equipped to handle them. We can address issues like loose skin or facial volume loss so you feel as confident as possible in your transformation. What to Expect From Your Medical Weight Loss Program Our process supports you through every phase of your weight loss journey. Your Initial Consultation  Your first step is a thorough evaluation where we get to know you and your goals. We'll review your medical history, previous weight loss attempts and current lifestyle factors. This visit includes ordering comprehensive lab work that helps us create your personalized program.  Starting Your Treatment  Once we’ve reviewed your lab results and you're cleared to begin, we'll provide detailed information about the Skinny Shot. We'll explain how the medication works, determine the right starting dose, discuss potential side effects and answer any questions you have about your treatment plan. Administering the Skinny Shot The Skinny Shot is a once-weekly injection that can be done at home. Many patients like the convenience of administering the shot themselves, though we're happy to administer it in our office if you prefer.  Ongoing Monitoring  Follow-up appointments are a critical part of your program. These visits allow us to track your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your medication dose or treatment plan. They also allow us to address any side effects you may experience. Long-Term Success Planning Medication alone is not sufficient for lasting weight loss. Our program includes oversight by our experienced wellness RN coordinator, who offers personalized guidance on nutrition, exercise and other lifestyle modifications. We want you to have every tool possible to reach your goals. How the Skinny Shot Works in Your Body Your body produces hormones that regulate hunger, satisfaction after meals and metabolism. The Skinny Shot works by optimizing these systems. The medication helps you feel fuller longer and reduces cravings between meals so you experience a natural reduction in calorie intake without feeling deprived. When you eat, your digestive system sends signals to your brain about fullness and satisfaction. The Skinny Shot enhances these signals so your brain is better able to recognize when you've eaten enough. It also slows down digestion, which means you stay satisfied longer after meals. Many patients report that they simply think about food less often and find it easier to make healthy choices while using the medication. The Skinny Shot also helps your body process sugar more efficiently. This can give you more stable energy levels throughout the day and reduce the urge to snack, particularly on high-carbohydrate foods. These metabolic improvements, combined with the appetite-regulating effects, create circumstances that make weight loss more achievable. What Makes Our Skinny Shot Different As medical director of Resurrect Skin MD and national medical director of 38 other clinics, Dr. Burns has access to the most current medical data and research. When patients began asking about weight loss medications, he evaluated the scientific evidence behind every option.  After extensive review, he chose to offer the Skinny Shot because it demonstrates both remarkable effectiveness and an impressive safety profile. He believes it is currently the best option available for a few key reasons: Dual Action While other medications target just one pathway involved in appetite and metabolism, the Skinny Shot engages multiple systems simultaneously to support your weight loss efforts more effectively. Side Effects Any weight loss medication may have side effects. However, the Skinny Shot may have fewer gastrointestinal side effects (such as nausea and vomiting) than other options. Results In clinical trials, the Skinny Shot has demonstrated slightly superior weight loss outcomes compared to other weight loss medications. Studies published in the New England Journal of Medicine and JAMA Internal Medicine have similar findings. Signs a Medical Weight Loss Program Might Be Right for You Medical weight loss isn’t for everyone, but it can be a life-changing option for the right candidates. You might be a good candidate for medical weight loss if you meet the following criteria: You've tried multiple diet and exercise programs without lasting success Counting calories, following trending diets, working with trainers — you’ve explored it all, but the results just haven't materialized.

At Resurrect Skin MD, we believe your regimen should be as personal as your life’s story. Led by Dr. A. Jay Burns, a nationally recognized laser and aesthetic medicine expert, our approach goes beyond surface-level fixes. We’re here to help you understand your skin’s needs, challenges and potential, and to guide you toward a regimen that reflects that individuality. Your Skin Is a Living, Breathing Organ Your skin isn’t static, and neither should your skincare be. Seasons change. Hormones shift. Stress levels rise. Maybe you’re recovering from a procedure, prepping for a milestone event or just noticing your skin doesn’t “bounce back” as it used to. The product that worked for you last winter may be wrong for your skin this spring. At RSMD, we treat your skin like the dynamic organ it is. That means identifying exactly what your skin is asking for and crafting a plan that evolves with you, so you’re never stuck in a routine that’s no longer serving you. Dr. Burns’ Optimal Skincare Regimen is rooted in this philosophy. We don’t rely on trendy products or complicated 10-step routines. We focus on what actually works to support your skin’s health, function and appearance at every stage of your life. What Makes Personalized Skin Care So Effective? At Resurrect Skin MD, personalization isn’t a buzzword. It’s a philosophy grounded in science. Customizing your regimen means: Targeting your specific skin concerns, whether it’s acne, aging, hyperpigmentation, dryness or inflammation. Choosing ingredients that align with your skin type and avoiding ones that could trigger irritation. Adjusting your regimen as your skin changes, rather than staying locked into a static routine. Combining the right active ingredients in the right order so they are more effective and don’t have negative interactions. This tailored approach turns skin care from a frustrating guessing game into a journey of visible improvement and deeper understanding of your skin. What Personalized Skin Care Looks Like in Real Life No two skin journeys are the same, and that’s exactly why personalization matters. It might mean shifting from harsh exfoliants to barrier-repairing serums for one patient. For another, it might mean prepping for a fractional laser treatment with collagen-building skincare and transitioning to pigment-correcting products afterward. Whether you're new to skincare or managing post-procedure healing, your regimen should meet you exactly where you are. The Role of Expert Guidance Dr. Burns often sees patients who’ve spent hundreds—sometimes thousands—on trendy products that don’t work for them. That’s because marketing, social media influencers and viral product lists can’t replace medical expertise. As one of the nation’s most accomplished laser experts and an early advocate for skin-focused wellness, Dr. Burns combines decades of experience with a passion for education. His Skin to Life™ philosophy is built on teaching patients how to truly care for their skin through a balanced combination of advanced treatments, proper home care and lifestyle considerations. A personalized consultation at Resurrect Skin MD includes in-depth skin analysis, health history and product compatibility checks to ensure your plan works harmoniously with your body’s natural processes. A Science-Based Skincare Regimen, Built Just for You Dr. Burns’ Optimal Skincare Regimen is the cornerstone of effective, personalized care. While every regimen is tailored to the individual, this philosophy is built on four essential product categories that support healthy, resilient skin at any age: Sunscreen: Protect First, Always Sun exposure is the leading cause of premature skin aging and damage, regardless of your skin tone. Dr. Burns emphasizes daily use of a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) to prevent UV-induced breakdown of collagen and elastin. Whether you prefer creams, sprays, powders or makeup with SPF, the key is choosing a formula you’ll use daily. Collagen and Elastin Support Procedures like laser treatments and surgery are only part of the picture. Healthy skin quality is what makes those results shine. Alastin’s Regenerating Skin Nectar with TriHex Technology® is a cornerstone product that clears damaged elastin and collagen while jumpstarting fresh production. It also reduces recovery time and supports smoother, more radiant results pre- and post-treatment. Antioxidants: Daily Defense and Brightening Antioxidants like vitamin C, niacinamide and CoQ10 protect your skin from environmental stressors while promoting brightness and tone. Dr. Burns recommends evidence-backed formulas like Revision’s C+ Correcting Complex and Alastin’s A-Luminate Brightening Serum to reduce pigmentation, prevent oxidative stress and boost long-term skin vitality. Retinol Alternatives for Long-Term Results Retinoids are among the most effective tools in skincare, but traditional Retin-A can be too harsh for some. RSMD recommends well-tolerated alternatives like Revision’s Retinol Complete 1.0 or Alastin’s Renewal Retinol 0.5. These products increase cell turnover, improve skin texture and reduce signs of aging with less irritation.

Learn More ### 5 Myths About Minimally-Invasive and Noninvasive Skin Treatments Looking your best no longer requires surgery or significant downtime. Minimally-invasive and noninvasive skin treatments have changed the practice of aesthetic medicine, offering impressive results with less discomfort, quicker recovery and fewer risks than traditional surgical approaches. Despite their popularity, misconceptions about these treatments continue to circulate. At Resurrect Skin MD, we want you to have accurate information so you can make confident decisions about your aesthetic care. Dr. A. Jay Burns, with his decades of clinical experience and leadership in developing many of these technologies, is passionate about setting the record straight. Let's tackle five common myths about nonsurgical skin treatments that might be keeping you from experiencing their benefits. If you have questions or concerns that aren't addressed here, reach out to our team. We're always happy to help. Myth #1: These Treatments Are Too Painful to Handle You might have heard horror stories about painful skin treatments from the past. Some of those tales were probably true, but modern technologies have dramatically improved the comfort level of minimally-invasive and noninvasive procedures. Comfort Measures Today's treatments include sophisticated comfort features. Many devices now have built-in cooling systems that protect your skin's surface while treating deeper layers. Others use precise energy delivery that minimizes discomfort while maximizing results. Injectable formulations often contain lidocaine.  At RSMD, we enhance your comfort even further with a range of anesthetic options. They take effect while you're in our numbing room, where you can unwind in a massage chair while watching your favorite show. What to Expect Most patients describe the sensation of treatments like radiofrequency microneedling or laser resurfacing as mild pressure, warmth or tingling—nothing close to what they feared before their first appointment. When Dr. Burns undergoes BBL HERO treatments himself, he describes it as merely "a warm pop" feeling, well within most people's comfort range. Pain tolerance varies from person to person, but nearly all our patients tell us they're pleasantly surprised by how comfortable these treatments actually are. Myth #2: Results From Nonsurgical Treatments Don't Last Many people assume that without surgery, results must be fleeting or minimal. This misconception likely stems from the early days of aesthetic medicine when technologies were still evolving. Today's reality is quite different. The Beauty of Biology Many modern minimally-invasive and noninvasive treatments work by stimulating your body's natural regenerative processes. They encourage collagen production, cellular turnover and tissue remodeling that continues long after you leave our office. While you might see some results right away, the most impressive improvements develop in the weeks and months following treatment as these biological processes unfold. Results In Action Consider microneedling. The tiny wounds created during treatment kick off a healing cascade that continues for months. Full results typically appear after three to six months and can last for years with proper maintenance.  One of our favorite treatments at RSMD is BBL. Research from Stanford University has shown that regular BBL treatments actually change gene expression in skin cells, essentially reprogramming aging skin to behave like younger skin at the cellular level. When we design your treatment plan, we're not just thinking about making your skin look better temporarily. Our goal is to fundamentally improve its quality and health. Myth #3: These Treatments Are Only for Aging Skin or Women Nothing could be further from the truth! Nonsurgical treatments address a wide range of concerns across all ages, genders and skin types. Just a Number If you're in your 20s or 30s, you might seek these treatments as preventative measures (what we call "prejuvenation"). Caring for your skin from an early age helps you maintain healthy collagen levels, protect against environmental damage and potentially delay the need for more aggressive interventions later. Treatments like MOXI laser are perfect for younger patients who want gentle rejuvenation with virtually no downtime. A Man's World Men are a rapidly growing segment of aesthetic patients. At RSMD, we've seen a significant increase in male clients seeking treatments for concerns like sun damage, acne scarring and texture issues. Men particularly appreciate the natural results and minimal downtime our treatments offer. Whoever you are, there's likely a minimally-invasive or noninvasive treatment that can help you achieve your aesthetic goals safely and effectively. Myth #4: I'll Be Hiding at Home for Weeks After Treatment Downtime is an obvious concern with surgical procedures. And even with nonsurgical options, the fear of walking around with a bright red face for days on end keeps some people from even considering a treatment. Downtime Debunked Here's the reality: many patients squeeze in treatments during lunch breaks or on their way home from work. Nonsurgical treatments are often specifically designed to fit into busy, active lifestyles. Even our more intensive treatments have come a long way. You might look a bit sunburned for a few days, but it's nothing a light layer of makeup can't handle. Compare that to the two to three weeks of social downtime after a deep chemical peel or laser resurfacing from a decade ago! No Pause Necessary Dr. Burns has focused much of his career on developing technologies that deliver exceptional results with minimal downtime. He understands you want to look your best without putting your life on hold. That's why we offer various treatment options with different recovery periods, allowing you to choose what works best for your schedule and goals. Myth #5: All Med Spas and Providers Offer the Same Quality of Treatment Perhaps the most dangerous myth is the belief that all aesthetic providers and their technologies are essentially interchangeable. In reality, the quality of your results depends a great deal on who performs your treatment and what technology they use. Innovative & Vetted Not all devices or products in the same category deliver equal results. There can be vast differences in effectiveness, comfort and safety between entry-level options and RSMD's state-of-the-art services. Dr. Burns has spent decades evaluating and helping develop the industry's leading technologies, and we are confident in every treatment we offer. Care & Compassion Technology is only one piece of the puzzle. We can't ignore the importance of provider expertise. At RSMD, treatments are performed by practitioners with extensive training and experience. Many of our staff have worked with Dr. Burns for over 20 years and have received specialized education beyond their formal qualifications. Dr. Burns personally oversees treatment protocols and regularly teaches his techniques to other physicians through his consistently sold-out training programs. The Truth About Minimally-Invasive and Noninvasive Treatments We love watching technology advance, but what keeps us passionate about aesthetics isn't the fancy gadgets and treatments—it's seeing what they can do for our patients. They restore confidence. They eliminate daily frustrations. They help you stop focusing on perceived flaws and start living your life. That's the real power of today's minimally-invasive treatments. They solve real problems with solutions that actually work. If you've been curious about what minimally-invasive skin treatments might do for you, we'd love to help.

At Resurrect Skin MD, that can become a reality with CoolSculpting Elite, an innovative body contouring device that uses cold temperatures to permanently get rid of stubborn fat cells. When no amount of diet or exercise seems to help reduce fat in key problem areas like the arms, back or abdomen, CoolSculpting steps in to help you achieve your fitness goals. No incisions, no downtime and no gimmicks — just results that you’ll love. This isn’t magic; it’s science, and it’s the future of your body transformation journey. We’re here to guide you on that journey by helping you learn everything you need to know about CoolSculpting. “CoolSculpting has been around for a long time, but that doesn't mean something else might be better just because it's newer. CoolSculpting Elite is still the best fat reduction device available — it’s number one, the most studied and the safest.” – Dr. Burns Meet Your CoolSculpting Expert, Dr. Jay Burns Dr. Burns is recognized as an authority in nonsurgical fat reduction and has been involved with CoolSculpting for over 15 years — before the device even had a name. Today, he continues to play an important role in its use and development, serving as a member of the CoolSculpting Scientific Advisory Board. His unique insight and guidance help ensure the technology continues to improve. He is also the medical director of CoolSculpting University in Austin, Texas, where he leads comprehensive training programs for other providers. As a result of Dr. Burns’ extensive knowledge and history with CoolSculpting, Resurrect Skin MD was the first practice in Texas and the greater Southwest to receive the new CoolSculpting Elite device. Here, we are always committed to providing patients with the best available technology, and CoolSculpting Elite is no exception. We rigorously test and vet each device so you don’t have to, and use only those that meet our high expectations. When you come in for your first appointment, you can rest assured that you’ll be treated with proven technology by some of the most educated CoolSculpting providers in the region. What Is CoolSculpting? CoolSculpting is kind of a big deal, but if you haven’t heard of it, that’s okay — we’ve got you covered. CoolSculpting is a patented, FDA-cleared, noninvasive fat reduction technique that harnesses the power of cold temperatures to freeze away stubborn fat. Unlike other fat reduction procedures, CoolSculpting helps you slim down without incisions, surgery or downtime. The results are proven and permanent with a healthy lifestyle. How Does CoolSculpting Work? CoolSculpting works by targeting fat cells with controlled cooling technology. During treatment, special applicators are placed on the skin and deliver precisely calibrated low temperatures to fat cells in the area. This results in apoptosis, destroying treated fat cells while leaving the surrounding skin, nerves and other tissues unaffected. Once fat cells have died, they are naturally eliminated from the body over the following weeks or months. CoolSculpting’s technology is based on the science of cryolipolysis, which exploits the cellular response to cold to break down fat cells. Unlike other types of cells, fat cells are particularly susceptible to the effects of low temperatures. This phenomenon was first discovered by two Harvard doctors, who noticed more prominent dimples and a loss of cheek fat in children who ate a lot of frozen popsicles. Today, the world of body contouring has been transformed by cryolipolysis and the development of CoolSculpting, giving patients an innovative way to lose fat in particularly stubborn areas with absolutely no surgery or downtime. CoolSculpting Treatment Areas CoolSculpting is FDA-cleared to eliminate fat in the following areas: Abdomen: Say goodbye to stubborn belly fat. CoolSculpting can target the upper and lower abdomen for a flatter, smoother tummy. Thighs: Whether it's the outer thighs or inner thighs, CoolSculpting can contour your legs and give you the confidence to wear your favorite shorts, skirts or dresses. Flanks: Also known as “love handles,” fat in this area can be particularly hard to lose, but CoolSculpting can target the flanks to create a more defined waistline. Back: CoolSculpting can effectively reduce back fat, producing a leaner silhouette overall and getting rid of the dreaded “bra bulge.” Buttocks: The area beneath the buttocks, also called the “banana roll,” can be treated with CoolSculpting to give your backside a more toned, lifted appearance. Chin: A double chin can make you look older and heavier than you are, but CoolSculpting can reduce fat in this area to improve your facial profile. Jawline: The same goes for under your jawline — smaller CoolSculpting applicators can be used here to give you a more chiseled facial appearance. Arms: When excess fat accumulates in the arms, it’s often referred to as “bat wings.” CoolSculpting can be used to improve the tone and definition of your arms. Knees: Fat above the knees can also be hard to reduce, even with diet and exercise. CoolSculpting can precisely target fat that builds up in this area. At Resurrect Skin MD, we use CoolSculpting Elite, the most advanced CoolSculpting technology available. It comes with dual applicators that allow us to target more than one treatment area at once, helping you achieve your desired results much quicker. CoolSculpting vs. CoolSculpting Elite CoolSculpting has undergone some changes since its initial release. CoolSculpting Elite is the latest CoolSculpting technology that boasts significant improvements and takes nonsurgical fat reduction to the next level, featuring new applicators that have been redesigned to fit the body’s natural curves effortlessly and maintain better skin contact. This enhances the effectiveness of treatment and allows for an 18% larger cooling area than before. It also means less suction to increase the comfort of the CoolSculpting procedure. At Resurrect Skin MD, we have two CoolSculpting Elite machines to supercharge your treatment plan. You can address up to four locations of stubborn fat at once to maximize your results and reduce the number of treatment sessions you’ll need, or transform your CoolSculpting session into a shared experience by undergoing a “couples” treatment with your best friend, spouse or significant other. This has become a popular trend and a unique way to support each other’s wellness journeys while enjoying the benefits of CoolSculpting. Is CoolSculpting Really That Effective? CoolSculpting is more than a buzzword in the medical aesthetics industry. This FDA-cleared technology is backed by years of science, research and clinical studies that demonstrate its safety and effectiveness. On average, patients experience a 20-25% reduction in treated fat cells with CoolSculpting Elite. These results are long-lasting, as the fat cells are permanently eliminated from the body. Once the fat cells are gone, they are gone for good, giving you long-term results that can be maintained with a healthy, balanced lifestyle. CoolSculpting’s efficacy also lies in its precision. It allows for targeted fat reduction, meaning we can focus on your biggest problem areas and sculpt them to your desired shape. This is not a one-size-fits-all solution but a personalized approach to fat loss that takes into account your unique aesthetic goals and body type to help you achieve a leaner physique. However, it’s important to remember that CoolSculpting is not a weight loss treatment. It is a nonsurgical procedure designed to eliminate stubborn areas of fat that remain even after losing weight. Because of this, CoolSculpting Elite is the perfect adjunct to GLP-1 agonists like Ozempic, Mounjaro and Wegovy that are sweeping the nation. If you’re currently on a weight loss journey, CoolSculpting can help with stubborn areas throughout the process. “CoolSculpting is the most proven way to get rid of fat nonsurgically. It actually freezes the fat, so it goes away in that location and it doesn’t come back. Even though I’m privy to a lot of body contouring devices out there, CoolSculpting Elite remains the best one available.” – Dr. Burns The CoolSculpting Treatment Process Your CoolSculpting Elite journey begins with a personalized consultation at Resurrect Skin MD. Our experienced team will evaluate your goals and develop a treatment plan just for you. Then, all that’s left is for you to sit back, relax and let the device take care of the rest. CoolSculpting treatments are quick, convenient and comfortable with no required downtime. As the applicators are placed on your skin, you’ll momentarily feel the effects of suction and intense cold, but this quickly subsides as the area becomes numb. CoolSculpting treatments are well-tolerated, with many patients able to read, work on their laptops or even nap during their sessions. The device takes about 35 minutes to treat each area, so your total treatment time will depend on how many areas are being targeted during your appointment. Afterward, you’ll be able to return home and get back to your daily routine. No lengthy downtime makes CoolSculpting a convenient option for those who are looking for effective fat reduction without the hassle and recovery time associated with surgical procedures. CoolSculpting Has a Proven Track Record of Safety CoolSculpting is considered a safe and effective solution for nonsurgical fat reduction, but it’s important to be aware of potential risks and side effects before undergoing treatment. The most common side effects associated with CoolSculpting are residual swelling, redness and tenderness in treated areas. These are typically mild and temporary, and should subside within a day or two. Rarely, some patients may experience contour irregularities or more serious complications like paradoxical adipose hyperplasia (PAH), a condition that leads to the development of firm, painless masses of fat in treated areas. While CoolSculpting and CoolSculpting Elite have extremely low complication rates, Dr. Burns and his team are equipped to handle any side effects that may arise. Dr. Burns has been involved with CoolSculpting for more than 15 years and serves on its Scientific Advisory Board. He is also the medical director for CoolSculpting University and educates providers from across the country on safety, techniques and protocol. At Resurrect Skin MD, we prioritize the health and safety of our patients. During your initial consultation, our experienced team will discuss your medical history and review the potential risks and side effects of treatment to help determine if CoolSculpting is right for you. If you do experience any troubling side effects after undergoing treatment, we encourage you to contact our office so we can promptly address your questions or concerns.

At Resurrect Skin MD, Dr. Burns and his highly experienced team provide cutting-edge solutions tailored to your unique needs. As a world-renowned expert in both aggressive ablative resurfacing laser skin treatments and non-ablative laser skin treatments, he has curated the best collection of devices on the market, ensuring each patient receives the safest and most effective results possible, matched precisely to their unique needs and desires. Although laser treatments are considered powerhouses in the world of medical aesthetics, understanding how they work and the treatment costs can often be confusing. To help patients make informed decisions, we’re exploring your available options, what influences the pricing, and how investing in your skin’s health can yield transformative results. What Are Laser Skin Treatments and How Do They Work? Laser skin treatments encompass the use of light-based devices to rejuvenate the skin, improving its health, appearance, and texture. Most devices use specific wavelengths of light measured in nanometers (nm) to target your exact concerns. For example, certain wavelengths are attracted to hemoglobin in the blood, making them highly effective at treating vascular lesions and facial redness, while others are better suited for eliminating dark spots and sun damage by targeting excess melanin, the pigment that gives our skin and hair color. For patients seeking more advanced results, Erbium laser resurfacing is a powerful option. This treatment precisely removes damaged skin layers while stimulating new collagen production, helping to smooth wrinkles, repair sun damage, and restore a more youthful complexion. Because of this, performing laser treatments requires a significant amount of training, knowledge, and expertise to achieve safe and reliable results. Widely known as the laser guru, Dr. Burns has all three in spades and is a renowned expert in the field. Throughout his 30+ year career, he has also been involved in numerous clinical trials and scientific advisory boards, sharing his wisdom to help advance laser technology and improve its efficacy. He has shared this knowledge with his team, making them some of the highest-trained staff in the world. What Are My Laser Resurfacing Options? At Resurrect Skin MD, we offer the best that laser resurfacing has to offer. Dr. Burns has personally vetted and handpicked each device at his practice, ensuring patients receive the latest and most effective treatments based on their skin type and aesthetic goals. Dr. Burns believes that to feel loved and appreciated, you have to feel heard. Therefore, it is our priority at RSMD to listen carefully to your needs and desires. We start with a comprehensive skin analysis to learn more about your skin type, creating a personalized roadmap for effective treatments. We also take your budget and the amount of downtime that you can manage into consideration. Our goal is to help you look and feel your best. We do everything to treat what you want without ever overselling or underselling you. Moxi Moxi is an ideal choice for those seeking a gentler approach to laser resurfacing. This nonablative laser is suitable for all skin types and can address a wide range of concerns, from the milder signs of aging or sun damage to enlarged pores and an uneven skin tone. It provides polished results with minimal social downtime, making it easy to fit into your existing skincare routine. Moxi treatment can be used on its own for touch-ups, maintenance, or early intervention, but it is frequently used in combination with other lasers and aesthetic technologies such as RF microneedling and Sofwave for more significant improvements in skin tone or texture. BBL HERO BBL HERO uses BroadBand Light® (BBL) technology to gently heat the top layer of the skin, triggering the production of fresh collagen and elastin. As new collagen and elastin fibers develop and mature, the skin appears firmer, brighter, and more rejuvenated. BBL HERO and its newest iteration, BBL HEROic, come with a variety of filters and adapters, making it able to address a large number of concerns, including acne, sun damage, age spots, pigmented lesions, brown lesions, red vascular spots, blood vessels, and more. BBL can be considered an upgraded version of intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy, using Sciton’s advanced High Energy Rapid Output (HERO) technique to increase power, performance, and speed. Dr. Burns was instrumental in bringing the BBL HERO to market and has seen firsthand how it can help patients achieve better, more noticeable results in less time than standard IPL. HALO As the world’s first hybrid fractional laser, HALO is a revolutionary device that utilizes both ablative and non-ablative wavelengths in a single pass. This dual-wavelength approach allows for deep dermal rejuvenation and surface-level renewal, providing a holistic therapeutic effect that can’t be achieved with any other treatment in a single pass. HALO is exceptional at targeting the visible signs of aging and delivering immediate results that get better with time. Built with a variety of skin types in mind, your HALO treatment can be customized for your unique needs and goals. Erbium Laser Resurfacing Erbium laser resurfacing is a powerful ablative laser that works by vaporizing the top layer of the skin, removing dead and damaged skin cells while stimulating collagen production to deliver dramatic and long-lasting results. Because it is more aggressive than other lasers and may require some form of anesthesia, it is only performed by Dr. Burns at Resurrect Skin MD and is often reserved for patients with deeper lines or wrinkles and more advanced sun damage. Erbium lasers have come to replace CO2 laser resurfacing, as they offer similar results with fewer side effects and a more comfortable recovery period. Dr. Burns has proved this with two landmark articles published on CO2 resurfacing in 1998 and a similar study with Erbium lasers in January of 2019. Over the last 20 years, he has championed the transition from CO2 to Erbium, helping people achieve dramatic improvements with significantly fewer complications. Derma V Derma V is a state-of-the-art laser by Lutronic that treats vascular lesions, pigmentation issues, and facial redness. Derma V targets the underlying causes of these concerns with precision, offering significant improvements in skin texture, clarity, and coloration. It also features built-in cooling to maximize comfort, making it a good choice for patients with low pain tolerance. Laser Hair Removal At Resurrect Skin MD, we also offer laser hair removal in Dallas using the advanced Lutronic Clarity II system. This state-of-the-art technology provides fast, comfortable, and effective laser hair removal for all skin types, without the pain, downtime, or mess of traditional methods. Whether you’re treating the face, legs, underarms, or bikini area, our team delivers smooth, lasting results with precision and care.   Before & After Gallery Factors That Can Affect the Cost of Your Treatment Treatment Type & Complexity The type of laser used and the complexity of the skin issues you’re looking to resolve are important factors when it comes to determining the overall cost of treatment. For example, deeper acne scars or extensive sun damage may require more sessions with a combination of devices to achieve noticeable results. If you’re just looking to refresh your appearance with a gentler treatment, you can expect to pay less, although these treatments often need to be performed on a regular basis. Compare this to aggressive laser resurfacing, which is more expensive and involves more downtime, but rarely needs to be repeated. While aggressive resurfacing offers amazing and long-lasting results, it should be used selectively when needed. Dr. Burns is one of the very best in the world with aggressive laser resurfacing and travels internationally teaching his published and widely accepted techniques. Combination Treatments Sometimes, the best results are achieved with a multi-faceted approach that uses two or more lasers to target your specific concerns. During your initial consultation, Dr. Burns and his experienced team will assess your needs and create a personalized treatment plan just for you, recommending the best combination of lasers to bring your Skin to Life™. Treated Areas Lasers are usually thought of as a facial treatment, but many devices (like BBL HERO and Moxi) can actually be used elsewhere on the body, such as the neck, chest, hands, and arms, to target concerns like scarring, dark spots or sun damage, fine wrinkles, and loose, crepey skin. When using lasers to treat some of these larger areas, your treatment may incur higher costs. For patients seeking more intensive correction of wrinkles, texture, and sun damage, Erbium laser resurfacing is also available and offers powerful, long-lasting rejuvenation. Number of Sessions Depending on the type of laser used to achieve your goals, you may need to undergo more than one session. Some devices can lead to immediate improvements after your very first appointment, but many deliver the best outcome when performed as a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart. This is the safest approach as the skin heals much more slowly from the neck down. You must be patient and treat the skin gently and consistently in these sensitive areas, allowing for gradual results and a safer, more comfortable recovery. Your Provider’s Expertise Your provider’s expertise has a direct effect on the quality of your treatment and should be your biggest consideration when evaluating cost. Dr. Burns is a recognized authority in laser resurfacing and brings over three decades of experience to each procedure. His extensive background ensures that your treatment plan is not only effective but grounded in the latest and most effective technology. Unlike many laser centers, Resurrect Skin MD is his practice, and he is highly involved. Choosing a provider like Dr. Burns and his team can greatly influence the overall success of treatment, providing long-term value that exceeds the monetary cost. How Much Will My Treatment Cost? Without evaluating your skin to better understand your needs and goals, there’s no easy way to estimate the cost of treatment. At Resurrect Skin MD, we offer fully customized treatment plans designed to address your exact concerns, tailored to your skin type and preferences. We offer package deals to make laser resurfacing more accessible and affordable. Purchasing a series of three treatments will entitle you to a 15% discount, while opting for six treatments will increase your savings to 20%.

How Does Laser Resurfacing Work? First, let’s review how laser resurfacing works. Laser treatments use focused beams of light that are applied directly to the skin. Ablative lasers burst onto the scene in the mid-90s when they became so powerful they could evaporate tissue (ablations) in extremely short time frames. Ablative lasers remove the outermost layer to eliminate damage and restore a healthier appearance. Compare this to non-ablative lasers, which work beneath the skin's surface to stimulate collagen production. Both types of laser treatments can use fractional technology, which creates columns of thermal damage while leaving the surrounding areas intact, reducing downtime and improving the skin’s ability to heal and regenerate after your procedure. Several different types of lasers can be used to address your specific concerns, but Dr. Burns and his team will help you navigate these options so you can achieve the best possible results. As one of the world’s leading experts in laser technology, Dr. Burns has been involved in numerous clinical trials and is widely sought for his technical knowledge. He is intimately familiar with energy-based devices and is dedicated to helping you reach your goals quickly and with minimal downtime — that’s the Skin to Life™ approach to a rejuvenated appearance. Benefits of Laser Resurfacing Now that you have a better understanding of how laser resurfacing works, let’s dive a little deeper into the benefits of this advanced treatment option for rejuvenating your skin. 1. Laser Resurfacing Provides Long-Lasting Results There are countless treatments out there that can no doubt improve your appearance, but erbium laser resurfacing excels at providing truly natural-looking, long-lasting results, especially in the hands of an experienced provider like Dr. Burns. The key to his success is addressing what he calls “the four pillars of aging” — gravity, dynamic lines, skin quality, and volume loss. Each of these pillars plays a significant role in how our skin ages, and neglecting any one of them can lead to an imbalance that detracts from a natural, youthful appearance. For instance, gravity pulls down the facial tissues; dynamic lines form due to repetitive muscle movements; skin quality declines with sun damage; and volume loss leads to hollowness and sagging. Laser resurfacing is a powerful tool for addressing skin quality, which Dr. Burns believes is the most important pillar to get right. Healthy skin gives a youthful look that adds to any other improvement you make to the other three pillars. Ablative laser resurfacing provides deep-level corrections that create a lasting outcome even in the most advanced wrinkles. It can also be combined with other treatments, such as dermal fillers, wrinkle relaxers, and more, for balanced results that stand the test of time. 2. Many Nonablative Lasers Offer Cumulative Benefits One of the key advantages of modern laser treatments is their ability to offer cumulative benefits. This means that while you’ll notice a difference right away, with each successive treatment, your skin continues to improve, leading to progressively better results over time. At Resurrect Skin MD, we offer several lasers that provide cumulative benefits. Moxi, one of our most popular treatments, is a gentle yet effective laser perfect for those who are just beginning their skincare journey and looking for a “prejuvenation” solution. Each Moxi session provides gradual improvements in skin tone, texture, and radiance with minimal downtime. Moxi treatment is also particularly effective for people of color with darker skin tones. BBL HERO and its newest iteration, BBL HEROic, also provide cumulative results that build with each session and last for several months. For the best possible outcome, a series of two to three treatments is recommended. Your long-term results can be maintained with three or more yearly treatments to improve the overall health of your skin, ensuring continual rejuvenation. 3. Laser Treatments Are Highly Customizable Numerous lasers on the market utilize different wavelengths to address specific concerns. For example, 1064 nm lasers penetrate deeply and strongly target hemoglobin, making them ideal for treating spider veins, broken capillaries, and certain types of blue venous discoloration. In contrast, something like a 532 nm laser is absorbed by both hemoglobin and melanin, making it well-suited for eliminating dark brown spots, sun damage, and other pigmented lesions. However, wavelength isn’t the only factor that matters when it comes to laser treatments; pulse duration, spot size, and the amount of energy delivered into an area can be customized depending on your concerns for a one-of-a-kind treatment plan that fits your exact needs. As a laser expert with vast knowledge of how different devices work together, Dr. Burns is also known for combining lasers to address a wider range of concerns and optimize your results. This combined “Skin to Life” approach is performed every day at Resurrect Skin MD. 4. Laser Resurfacing Improves the Overall Health of Your Skin Erbium laser resurfacing is known as a powerful aesthetic treatment that can minimize the signs of aging, sun damage, and more, but it accomplishes this by improving the overall health of your skin. By delivering specific wavelengths of light into the deeper layers of the dermis, laser resurfacing stimulates a type of cell called fibroblasts to create new collagen and elastin fibers. This process not only repairs and remodels the skin’s underlying structure from within but also enhances its firmness, elasticity, and ability to lock in moisture. As a result, your skin becomes more resilient and better protected against future damage, giving you a visibly healthier appearance. Furthermore, there are many scientific studies currently showing clear benefits to the skin by reducing the incidence of nonmelanoma skin cancers. There is no longer a debate on this issue.

Furnas and Korman to discuss facial aging and maintaining great skin quality. Spoiler alert – Botox works wonders, and you need a lot more sunscreen than you think. Dr. Burns’ divides facial aging into four pillars: loose skin from gravity, dynamic lines and wrinkles from our expressive facial muscles, deteriorating skin quality, and volume loss. The use of skin care products, neuromodulators, like Botox, fillers, and energy devices like lasers can prevent and maintain. Even when a facelift is the only way to improve the jowls, cheeks, and neck, overlooking the skin quality when laser resurfacing is indicated is doing a disservice to patients. A youthful face contour with older skin is a mismatch that can catch the eye. Dr. Burns discusses treatments that address the four pillars. His favorite one actually reactivates youthful genes so skin appears genetically younger when regularly maintained. ## Pages ### Surgical Procedure B&A ### Laser Services B&A ### Injectable B&A ### Body Services B&A ### Before and After Gallery ### Laser Guru ### Testimonials ### Test Form ### Our Membership Programs ### Daxxify™ Day! ### Skin to Life™ ### Our Practice ### Thank You ### Skincare Products ### Our Staff ### Blog ### Meet Dr. Burns ### Contact ### What We Treat ### Procedures ### Home ### Privacy Policy ## Galleries ### Neck / Face Lift 2 ### CoolSculpting Elite 4 ### CoolSculpting Elite 3 ### CoolSculpting Elite 2 ### BBL / Moxi 1 ### Face and Neck 1 This particular patient had a face and neck lift, and also a full face resurfacing. ### Injectables ### Laser Resurfacing 3 ### Moxi 2 ### Laser Resurfacing 2 Patient is 5 months post laser resurfacing ### CoolSculpting Elite 1 30days post one round of CoolSculpting in abdomen. **One cycle to right upper quadrant, one cycle to left upper quadrant **one cycle to left lower quadrant, one cycle to right lower quadrant. ### Daxxify 1 2 months post Daxxify to forehead, 11s, and crows feet ### Neck / Face Lift 1 This particular patient had a face and neck lift, and also a full face resurfacing. ### Laser Resurfacing 1 This particular patient had a face and neck lift, and also a full face resurfacing. ### BBL Hero / Halo 1 Patient received one BBL Hero/HALO combo treatment to her chest ### Moxi 1 2 MOXI treatments 4 weeks apart to remove the PIH (brown) around her neck. ## Procedures ### Evexias Hormone Therapy ### BBL® HEROic™️           ### Sofwave™ ### The RHA Collection ### Skinny Shot ### Wellness Shots & IVs ### Juvéderm® ### SKINVIVE™ ### Ellacor Micro-Coring® ### Lip Fillers ### Accufit ### Brella ### Laser Services ### Dysport ### Botox ### Restylane ### Resurrect Face & Neck ### Resurrect Neck ### Dr. Burns’ Optimal Skincare Regimen ### Surgical Procedures ### Skincare Products ### Noninvasive Body Contouring ### Facials ### Microneedling ### Injectables ### Dermaplaning ### Chemical Peels ### Hydrafacial ### Daxxify ### Sculptra ### Kybella ### Dermal Fillers ### Indiba ### SkinPen ### Genius RF ### Evo Micropen ### Laser Hair Removal ### Laser Resurfacing ### Derma V ### MOXI® ### BBL® HERO™️ ### Blepharoplasty ### Brow Lift ### CoolSculpting® Elite ### Halo® Laser ## Testimonials ### Christy H. ### Debbie D. ### Hugh S. ### Laurie N. ### A.
