About Cosmetic Procedures
Phoenix Skin offers a comprehensive range of cosmetic procedures designed to enhance and rejuvenate various facial and body features.
Earlobe Repair
Earlobe repair, also known as lobuloplasty, is a procedure that addresses torn, stretched, or damaged earlobes, often resulting from trauma or heavy earrings. The repair process involves reconstructing the earlobe to restore its natural appearance. There are several different types of earlobe repair procedures, including gauged earlobe repair, earlobe reduction, and bilateral and unilateral earlobe repair, all of which possess their own advantages and apply to different conditions.
Earlobe Wrinkles
Loss of facial volume or other factors related to the natural aging process can result in wrinkles both on and in front of the earlobe. Earlobe wrinkle procedures often utilize either CO2 lasers or dermal fillers to restore volume and eliminate wrinkles on or in front of earlobes.
Ellacor Micro-Coring
Ellacor is an innovative skin rejuvenation treatment that uses a process called tissue micro-coring. This advanced technology addresses moderate to severe wrinkles and loose skin in the mid and lower face by utilizing hollow needles less than 0.5 mm in diameter to extract micro-cores of skin, effectively reducing skin surface overall. This technique stimulates collagen and elastin production to promote skin tightening and rejuvenation with minimal risk of scarring.
Eyebrow Lift
Eyebrow lift, also known as the lateral brow lift or forehead lift, elevates and reconstructs the eyebrows and surrounding forehead region. In this procedure, an incision is made above each temple, just behind the hairline, to lift the brows and forehead. The results are often bigger, brighter eyes and reduced wrinkles on the forehead.
Eyelid Lift
Eyelid lift surgery, or blepharoplasty, addresses drooping upper eyelids and puffy under-eye bags. The treatment can enhance the eyes’ appearance and potentially improve vision obstructed by sagging skin. The procedure involves removing excess skin, muscle, and fat to achieve a more youthful and rested look.
Facial Rejuvenation
Facial rejuvenation entails a wide range of procedures intending to rejuvenate a patient’s face and restore a youthful appearance. The mini facelift focuses on the lower face and neck, tightening sagging skin and reducing wrinkles through minimally invasive techniques. This results in shorter recovery times compared to traditional facelifts. Additionally, treatments like the Y-Lift offer non-surgical options for facial contouring, utilizing dermal fillers to enhance cheekbones and jawlines without incisions. Facial rejuvenation procedures are among the most common procedures in all cosmetics and can feature both surgical and nonsurgical methods.
Hair Restoration
For individuals experiencing hair loss, Phoenix Skin offers several hair restoration options. Follicular Unit Hair Transplant (FUT) is a surgical procedure that transplants strips of hair follicles from a donor area to balding regions, promoting natural hair growth. Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a minimally invasive technique where individual hair follicles are extracted and transplanted, leaving no linear scars. Additionally, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy utilizes platelet-rich plasma to stimulate hair follicles and encourage hair growth. Lastly, scalp micropigmentation is a non-surgical procedure that uses tiny, layered dots to create an effect that mimics the look of real hair follicles.
Neck Lift
Neck lift procedures address sagging skin, muscle banding, and excess fat in the neck area, often referred to as “turkey neck.” The surgery involves tightening underlying muscles and removing surplus skin and fat to create a smoother, more defined neck and jawline. Non-surgical options, such as Ultherapy, use ultrasound technology to stimulate collagen production, offering a less invasive alternative for neck rejuvenation.
Lip Enhancement
Lip enhancement procedures aim to improve lip volume, shape, and symmetry. Dermal fillers, such as Juvéderm, are commonly used to achieve fuller lips and smooth out fine lines around the mouth. Many of these procedures are minimally invasive and require little downtime. Phoenix Skin offers multiple different lip enhancement procedures, including treatments for Cupid’s bow, lipstick lines, and other lip filler treatments.
Hand Rejuvenation
Hand rejuvenation treatments address signs of aging, such as volume loss, prominent veins, and pigmentation issues. Options include dermal fillers to restore volume, laser treatments to reduce age spots, and PRP therapy to improve skin texture and tone. These procedures result in hands that appear more youthful and revitalized. Phoenix Skin also offers Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy, which uses non-invasive, non-ablative light to correct imperfections on the hands.
Scar Revision
Scar revision aims to improve the appearance of scars, leading to clearer and smoother skin. Various treatments are available, including laser skin resurfacing, chemical peels, surgical removal, dermal fillers, and microneedling. The treatment choice depends on the scar’s type, size, and location. Phoenix Skin utilizes advanced technologies to ensure optimal results for scar revision patients.
Benefits
Cosmetic procedures can provide many physical and emotional benefits to those who seek them. Not only do patients experience rejuvenation in the areas of treatment, but cosmetic procedures are also largely associated with improvements in body image, which can contribute to increased overall well-being.

Preparation and Procedure
The preparation process and the details of your procedure will differ for every patient depending on the type of procedure they receive. Some cosmetic procedures are minimally invasive, requiring little to no preparation and allowing patients to return home the day of the procedure. Other procedures, such as surgical procedures, are more invasive and might require patients to undergo a more detailed preparation process. The details of each procedure, as well as any preoperative instructions, will be carefully outlined by the Phoenix Skin staff.
Recovery and Results

The recovery process for cosmetic procedures varies depending on the treatment performed. While some procedures require only minimal downtime, others involve a more gradual recovery process. Regardless of the treatment, patients will receive detailed postoperative instructions to ensure optimal healing and the best possible results.

FAQ
Can I combine multiple cosmetic procedures?
Yes! Many patients will combine procedures to maximize their rejuvenation results while shortening their total recovery time.
What makes a cosmetic procedure different from other procedures?
Cosmetic procedures focus on enhancing a patient’s appearance and reducing signs of aging. Unlike body contouring procedures, cosmetic procedures primarily focus on the face, neck, and hands.
How long does it take to recover from a cosmetic procedure?
Recovery times differ depending on the patient’s health and the procedures they undergo. Less invasive procedures may require only a few days of recovery, if any, while more complex procedures may require a few weeks. You will receive specific recovery instructions during your consultation and after your procedure.
Will insurance cover my cosmetic procedures?
Because cosmetic procedures are generally considered to be not medically necessary, insurance coverage is unlikely. However, some plans and companies may cover certain procedures.
