Aesthetic Artistry Backed by Medical Precision

Dr. Joseph F. Greco III developed his aesthetic touch in Los Angeles, one of the most cosmetically demanding markets in the country, where A-list Hollywood celebrities were among his patients. He brings that same eye for subtle, balanced results to patients at the Venice office. Lauren Helme, MMS, PA-C, also sees cosmetic patients at the Venice office. With more than a decade of experience in medical, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology, she specializes in laser treatments. She uses neuromodulators and dermal fillers with precision to achieve refreshed results that suit each patient's features.

What Is Skin Rejuvenation?

Skin rejuvenation is a group of treatments that improve the tone, texture, firmness, and overall quality of aging or sun-damaged skin. Most treatments work in one of three ways:

Stimulating new collagen: Treatments like microneedling, the BioFacial, and laser therapy prompt the skin to rebuild its own support structure.
Removing damaged surface cells: Resurfacing and photodynamic therapy clear away sun-damaged cells, allowing healthier skin to emerge.
Relaxing and restoring problem areas: Neuromodulators soften expression lines, while dermal fillers replace lost volume where lines and folds form.

Sun exposure is the biggest driver of visible aging. According to The Skin Cancer Foundation, photoaging accounts for about 90 percent of visible changes to the skin. Cleveland Clinic notes that photodamage cannot be fully reversed, but treatment can meaningfully improve how the skin looks.

Signs of Sun Damage and Skin Aging We Treat

Life on the Gulf Coast means years of strong sun, and it tends to show on the face, neck, chest, and hands. Greco Dermatology treats common signs of aging and sun damage, including:

Fine lines and wrinkles, especially around the eyes, mouth, and forehead
Sunspots and uneven pigmentation
Rough or dull skin texture
Enlarged pores
Loss of firmness and mild skin laxity
Volume loss in the cheeks and lips
Redness and small visible blood vessels

Skin Rejuvenation Treatments in Venice, FL

Each treatment targets a different layer of the skin, so many patients combine two or more for broader improvement.

BioFacial and BEST

How it works: The BioFacial and Bio Enhanced Skin Therapy (BEST) pair microneedling with cytokine-rich plasma (CRP) made from your own blood to encourage new collagen and cell renewal.
What it improves: These treatments help smooth fine lines and wrinkles, improve discoloration, and restore volume lost with age.
Treatment areas: BEST can firm the skin of the face, neck, chest, and hands.
Results: Skin regains a healthy, natural glow that continues to improve as new collagen forms.

Microneedling

How it works: Microneedling creates tiny, controlled channels in the skin that trigger collagen and elastin production.
What it improves: According to the American Academy of Dermatology, microneedling can improve uneven skin tone and texture.
Downtime: Recovery is minimal, so most patients return to their normal routines quickly.
Results: Improvement appears gradually as the body builds new collagen.

Laser Therapy and Skin Resurfacing

How it works: Laser therapy and skin resurfacing target damaged skin at the surface while stimulating renewal underneath.
What it improves: These treatments address sunspots, uneven tone, redness, and rough texture.
Provider expertise: Lauren Helme, PA-C, specializes in laser treatments at the Venice office, and Dr. Greco completed fellowship training in laser surgery at The David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA.
Combination options: Laser therapy can be paired with CRP/Matrix so regenerative benefits reach multiple layers of the skin in the same session.

Neuromodulators and Dermal Fillers

Neuromodulators: These injectables relax the muscles that create expression lines, such as frown lines and crow's feet.
Dermal fillers: Fillers restore lost volume and soften deeper folds.
Provider expertise: Lauren Helme, PA-C, is recognized for using both with precision and subtlety.
Results: Treatment aims for a refreshed, balanced look that suits each patient's features rather than an overdone one.

Photodynamic Therapy for Sun Damage

How it works: Photodynamic therapy (PDT), also called blue light therapy, pairs a light-sensitizing medication with a specific wavelength of light.
Cosmetic benefits: PDT improves the look of sunspots and sun-damaged skin.
Medical benefits: PDT also treats actinic keratoses, precancerous patches that the American Academy of Dermatology notes can sometimes turn into squamous cell carcinoma.
Learn more: See how actinic keratosis connects to skin cancer on our Squamous Cell Carcinoma Treatment in Venice, FL page.

Bio-Enhanced Topical Therapy at Home

How it works: CRP from your blood is combined with a take-home Nova™ Skin Serum Kit for daily use with at-home microneedling.
What it improves: The serum helps reduce the look of fine lines, enlarged pores, and dark spots.
Results: Daily use extends the benefits of in-office treatments between visits.

What to Expect Before, During, and After

Consultation

Your consultation includes a skin evaluation and a discussion of what bothers you most. From there, the team recommends a single treatment or a combination plan. Cost depends on the treatments chosen and the number of sessions. Cosmetic services are not billable to insurance, and payment is due at the time of the visit.

Treatment

Most rejuvenation treatments take place in the office and last under an hour. Topical numbing is used for microneedling and many laser treatments, and injectables are performed with fine needles to keep discomfort brief.

Recovery and Results

Downtime varies by treatment. Injectables and microneedling usually involve little to no downtime, while laser resurfacing and PDT may bring several days of redness or peeling. Neuromodulator results appear within days, while collagen-building treatments improve gradually over several months.
