New Year, New Glowing Skin!

As age creeps up on us, our skin tends to thin out from the gradual loss of elasticity and collagen, which brings on skin issues such as wrinkles. The skin may also gradually attain a dull complexion, as well as see brown and red discoloration appearing.There are several non-surgical procedures that can be done to get glowing skin in 2017.

Acne Treatment

Acne can lead to low self-esteem.It is actually a disease that affects the hair follicles especially on the face, chest and back. It manifests as blocked pores, red bumps that are tender to the touch or cysts. Acne can be treated using the laser resurfacing technique, used for an even skin outcome.The procedure uses laser lights that are concentrated on specific areas of skin. Acne can also be treated usingchemical peels. A chemical solution is applied on the skin to remove impurities plus dead skin. After this, a new skin grows, devoid of acne.

Dermabrasion and Microdermabrasion

These are two procedures that will leave you with youthful, glowing skin! They eliminate scars, spots and wrinkles. While performing demerbrasion, the surgeon uses a special instrument that ‘sands’ your skin and removes all dead skin.In contrast, in microdermabrasion, the surgeon uses small exfoliating crystals to rid your skin of spots.

Fillers

Fillers are used to add facial volume, to get rid of wrinkles and improve on the skin folds.They are normally injected directly into wrinkles and folds to rejuvenate the skin where collagen has worn out and broken down. It can be used to fill out lips that are too thin and rectify imperfections around the nose and mouth areas. They improve the facial appearance and take as many as 15 years off a face.This procedure takes less than an hour and leaves your face looking years younger and skin revitalized.

Fraxel Laser

Stretch marks are every woman’s nightmare.They appear practically anywhere where there is skin and are brought on by rapid weight loss or gain. They mostly appear on the buttocks, torso, thighs and sometimes the face. Fraxel laser is a non-surgical procedure that removes facial stretchmarks, works rapidly and leaves the skin tone evened out.

Laser beams that are highly accurate are concentrated on the area with the blemish. The beams penetrate deep into the skin to eliminate the old cells, which in turn stimulates the skin, forcing it to start the process of self-healing by releasing skin generating cells. The results are seen after two weeks, the skin looking smoother, softer, and lighter in color than before. The healing process takes about three to six months, and as the skin heals, the skin tone becomes more evened out.

Laser Resurfacing

This method is also called laserabrasion, laser peel or laser vaporization. It is a very popular treatment and is useful in removing facial irregularities and reducing wrinkles. It reduces acne scars, birthmarks and any skin blemishes. It removes warts and moles and is also useful in the treatment of skin cancer in its early stages.

It does not require an overnight stay in hospital, though the patient will be sedated and afterwards the area bandaged.The treated areas peel, which is normal, exposing the pink under skin after the procedure is done. Irritation is expected, but soon goes away, and you are expected to use the skin care products recommended. Once the skin heals, the new skin that grows looks healthy and glows unbelievably!
