Changes in tone, texture, firmness, or facial features do not all respond to the same kind of care. Our aesthetic services at Timeless Youth MD in West Des Moines, Iowa, include several skin rejuvenation options for concerns ranging from rough texture and dullness to collagen loss, visible aging, and changes around the eyes. Melissa D. Young, MD, brings more than 30 years of experience as a physician and surgeon and is board certified in aesthetics through the American Academy of Procedural Medicine.
Skin Rejuvenation Options at Timeless Youth MD
Skin rejuvenation can mean smoothing the surface, encouraging collagen production, refreshing the eye area, or improving features that have changed with age. We may recommend one service or combine approaches after considering the area being treated, previous procedures, expected downtime, and the type of improvement you want to see.
Our current options include:
- Dermaplaning with Mild Peel: Removes dead surface cells and fine vellus hair while adding gentle exfoliation for a softer, more polished complexion.
- GlowTox: Combines a VI Peel with Dysport® or BOTOX® Cosmetic to improve surface concerns while softening expression lines.
- Hand Rejuvenation: Can improve lost volume, visible veins or tendons, wrinkles, discoloration, and crepey texture on the hands.
- Microneedling: SkinPen® microneedling supports collagen and elastin production and can be considered for acne scars, uneven texture, and fine lines.
- Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy: PRP uses a concentrated portion of your own blood and may be injected or paired with microneedling to support skin repair and collagen production.
- Sculptra Aesthetic®: Encourages gradual collagen production when facial support or reduced fullness is part of what you are noticing.
- Latisse® Eyelash Treatment: This prescription treatment helps the upper eyelashes grow longer, thicker, and darker with consistent use.
- Upneeq® Eye Drops: Prescription eye drops used for acquired droopy eyelids in appropriate patients.
How Do We Choose a Rejuvenation Treatment?
The best place to start is with the change you actually want to improve. Rough texture or acne scarring may point toward microneedling, while dull surface skin may respond better to exfoliation. Concerns involving collagen, facial support, or eye-area changes call for a different conversation.
We also consider how quickly you want to see a difference, whether temporary redness or peeling fits your schedule, and how much maintenance you want over time. Just as importantly, we will tell you when a procedure is unlikely to address the problem you came in for.

Our team takes time to explain what a service can realistically change, what recovery may involve, and when another approach would be more appropriate. That gives you clearer expectations before deciding how to proceed.
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Yes, some services complement one another because they work on different aspects of aging or skin quality. We consider timing, recovery, and how the procedures interact before recommending a combination.
No. Depending on the service, treatment may also be appropriate for the neck, chest, hands, or other areas.
Recovery varies widely by procedure. Some services cause little interruption to your routine, while others can involve temporary redness, tenderness, flaking, swelling, or bruising.
Tell us about weddings, travel, photos, or other important dates before your appointment. We can review expected recovery and result timelines so you have enough time for any temporary effects to settle.
Many aesthetic treatments are not permanent, and upkeep varies by service. Once we know what you are considering, we can explain how often follow-up care is commonly discussed.
