Skin Deep with Lynn "Lets talk skin"

WHAT ROLE DOES GLYCATION PLAY IN AGING SKIN?

“Sugar doesn’t just affect your waistline — it affects your collagen.”

Glycation is what happens when sugar in your body attaches to your collagen. When that happens, the collagen becomes stiff and brittle instead of firm and flexible. Over time, that stiffness leads to deeper wrinkles and lines, rough, rigid texture, sagging, and dull-looking skin.

Think of it like this… “Sugar caramelizes when it’s heated. A similar process happens slowly inside your skin — sugar sticks to your collagen and makes it harder and less elastic.”

The challenge is — once collagen is damaged like that, skincare can’t reverse it. It can protect and maintain, but it can’t rebuild structure.

So how can you repair your skin?

That’s where CO₂ resurfacing comes in. CO₂ works by creating controlled micro-injury in the skin, which activates your fibroblasts to produce brand new collagen. Over the next several months, your body replaces that older, damaged collagen with fresh, stronger, more organized collagen.

So instead of just smoothing the surface, we’re restructuring the foundation of your skin. If we’re seeing laxity, crepiness, or deeper etched lines, that tells me the collagen itself needs rebuilding.
CO₂ is the gold standard for that level of correction.

If your goal is real correction rather than maintenance, this is the level of treatment that gets you there.

🌟 Welcome back to Skin Deep with Lynn, where l share insights from my experience as a Medical Aesthetician & Certified Laser Technician to help you better understand your skin—and the solutions available.

Today we’re diving into another lesser-known condition called Xanthelasma, commonly called Cholesterol Deposits. Xanthelasma are small, yellowish bumps that appear on or around the eyelids. They’re made of fat deposits under the skin and are usually harmless—but can sometimes signal underlying cholesterol issues.

Using precise radiofrequency energy, I can safely remove the yellowish bumps on your eyelids. It’s quick, minimally invasive, and gentle on delicate skin—leaving you with smoother, healthier-looking eyelids.

Skin Deep with Lynn at Impressions Aesthetics & Laser, Leland, NC.
A series of educational post on little or lessor known skin conditions and treatments from an experienced Medical Aesthetician and Certified Laser Technician. Please share to anyone you know that suffers from this condition.

Poikiloderma of Civatte, it is a common yet often overlooked, benign chronic skin condition affecting the neck, décolletage, and occasionally the lateral cheeks.

Characterised by diffuse redness, mottled pigmentation, fine visible vessels, and skin thinning, it typically presents in a distinctive V-shaped distribution, sparing the skin beneath the chin.

☀️ Cumulative sun exposure is the primary contributor, with hormonal changes, genetic predisposition, and photosensitising products also playing a role.

✨ While harmless, the appearance can be significantly improved.
Advanced light-based treatments, like Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), remain the gold standard for addressing both vascular and pigment changes. Schedule a complimentary consultation to see how our lasers can help.

The Truth About Cosmetic Lasers: Their Role in Modern Skin Correction.
Cosmetic Lasers aren’t "SHORTCUTS" —they’re smart solutions for clients seeking real, long-lasting corrective results. This is science-backed technology designed to work beneath the surface, reaching deeper layers of the skin that hands and traditional treatments simply can’t.

Best of all, results continue to improve for months after treatment.

Lasers target concerns at their source, stimulating true cellular renewal and triggering structural change within the dermis. In simple terms, laser energy activates the body’s natural wound-healing response, waking up fibroblasts to remodel damaged collagen and build new, healthier tissue.

What does that mean in real life?

Reduction of sun damage
Dramatic softening of deep lines and wrinkles
Fading stubborn melasma and age spots
Treatment of broken capillaries and other vascular issues
Smoothing acne scars
Kills acne causing bacteria
Improved skin firmness and laxity
Improvement in stretch marks
Reduction of redness associated with rosacea
And so much more!

When you’re looking for real results, you need technology that speaks the skin’s biological language—paired with a highly trained, experienced provider who uses every safe and effective tool available to deliver the best possible outcomes.
