Skin is the first layer of protection, appearance, and safety. But are you doing enough to protect it?

The outermost layering skin that avails all with many benefits is also an organ like the brain, liver, and stomach. People often tend to take their skin for granted unless and until they see a significant problem or issue related to it.

It protects you from many harmful external factors and keeps you safe from infections, colds, heat, and many more. Taking care of this precious organ should be in all of your everyday routines. Giving the skin some extra time and care can aid in the prevention of problems like wrinkles and even skin cancers down the road.

Taking care of the skin not only aids you physically but mentally too; flawless and healthy skin will always boost your confidence.

What are Skincare Treatments?

Unhealthy lifestyles and deteriorating environmental conditions result in poor skin health, thus increasing the number of skin problems among the population.

Skincare treatments are the assistance or procedures that avail solutions to skin problems. These treatments can be cosmetic or health treatments. The most common skin issues include acne scars, saggy skin, wrinkles, age lines, tsw and many others.

All these common issues can be treated via one or the other skincare treatments available. Following are some of the most common and versatile skin care treatments:

Skincare Treatments

Thermage

A facial rejuvenation technique that helps tighten and improve the face and neck contours. Thermage is a non-exfoliating treatment that includes a radio frequency device passing all over the face with the skin at the point of contact.

The controlled radio waves from the device evenly distribute heat in the deeper layers of the skin and boost the collagen development process. As a result, the customer experiences tighter and smoother skin. Unlike many other treatments, Thermage is suitable for all skin types and does not require downtime. After this treatment, you will notice an immediate and long-lasting effect.

Laser Skin Rejuvenation

It is one of the most commonly used treatments for advanced wrinkle removal. Laser Skin Rejuvenation uses infrared light to tighten the skin without any surgery. The heat provided by the laser in this treatment stimulates collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin. After the treatment, the patients will experience tighter skin. This treatment is ideal compared to facelifts and other procedures, including scalpels and injections to the face/skin.

Laser Resurfacing

The outermost layer of human skin tends to dry up, and the dead cells shade off, but sometimes this layer can not deplete on its own and thus make the skin look worse or damaged.

The laser skin resurfacing treatment works on removing the damaged outer layers of the skin. It also promotes collagen production along with the production of new cells in the underlying layers of the skin.

Nowadays, laser skin resurfacing is also used to treat and reduce wrinkles and fine lines on the face and neck.

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Treatment

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy is a light-based derma treatment that aids in improving skin colour and texture. Also known as the Photo-facial, this treatment can undo the visible damage done by sun exposure. The most sensitive areas to the sun are the hands, neck, face, or chest.

It is suggested that people sensitive to light, who use retinol cream, have a darker skin shade, or have severe scarring shouldn’t get the IPL treatment. It can cause problems, Lumenessa has mentioned its adverse effects in one of their blogs. The therapy also aids in reducing the appearance of red, brown, or blotchy skin due to any health or clinical condition.

The treatment works best for individuals with pale or light brown skin. The Intense Pulsed Light treatment treats acne, birthmarks, discoloured skin, fine wrinkles, and many other skin conditions.

Microdermabrasion

One of the most accessible skin treatments, the Microdermabrasion, is performed in a facial esthetics office. This skin treatment removes age spots, acne scars, and wrinkles.

The physician/ handler sprays tiny crystals all over the desired area of the skin using a handheld instrument. These crystals work on exfoliating the skin layers; after this, the use of suction aids in removal of crystals and any dead cells on the skin layers.

An individual may need more than one microdermabrasion treatment for wrinkle removal and other skin benefits it avails.

Chemical peels

Cosmetic treatments, also known as derma-peeling treatments, are ideal for anti-ageing and skin rejuvenation. The chemical peels are capable of correcting irregularities like texture, fine lines, colour, spots, and other issues caused by sun damage.

Every chemical peel contains different strengths and is categorized by the acids used in the chemical solution. The chemicals’ intensity varies, and hence, the results from each chemical are diverse and cater to different skin problems.
