Cosmetic Skin Care Dramatic Results
The crowded, confusing forest of skin care includes treatment regimens and products promising effects from amazing and age defying
to flawless perfection and fountain of youth, how do you=find your way? Consumers who only know only a little about skin care and cosmetics can be confused by misleading information. You are unique! And so is your skin. What is right for your individual skin care needs?
The marketing is fierce across all media. But all the business about surgery and other invasive approaches euphemistically called
procedures seems a bit scary not to mention very expensive. So a lot of the marketing message is to forget costly and invasive surgery
and similar procedures because cosmetic skin care treatments do just as well at a fraction of the cost. Cosmetic skin care includes proven
non-surgical procedures for skin care such as unwanted hair removal, acne control, correction of facial imperfections, management of
cellulite, Botox injections, as well as luxurious and therapeutic spa treatments. Cosmetic skin care procedures can be dramatically effective
and safe if backed by solid medical expertise, research and testing.
Cosmetic skin care procedures should be medically supervised in a professional environment. Since facial skin is more prone to the effects of aging due to sun exposure and constant stresses from facial expression, it often requires special cosmetic skin care techniques. The face may also require special treatment to eliminate unwanted hair, skin tags or visible veins. Cosmetic skin care procedures also address problems such as rosacea and uneven pigmentation. Chemical peels dissolve the connection holding dead cells together on the surface of the skin and reveal the smoother, healthier skin beneath.
Microdermabrasion uses a mild abrasive to remove the outer layer of dead skin and reveal the smoother, clearer skin underneath. Safe and effective for pretty much all skin types, microdermabrasion helps to improve the texture of the skin as well as help some forms of acne, oily skin, blackheads and whiteheads. Dermal fillers use hyaluronic acid gel, which is injected just under the skin surface to temporarily fill wrinkles for a more youthful appearance. Dermal fills have proven effective in smoothing lines and wrinkles with minimal irritation. Skin tags occur most frequently on the face and neck. There is no way to prevent skin tags, but they are not cancerous and have no long-term negative effects. Cosmetic skin care includes procedures to safely remove skin tags. Other recently developed proven cosmetic skin care procedures include intense pulsed light and laser treatments, which target the pigment in the skin while leaving the surface of the skin unharmed. Intense pulsed light procedures involve use of a non-laser precision light generator that decreases skin discolorations associated with sun damage and age spots. Laser treatments are recommended for the minimization of rosacea, flushing, small surface veins and dilated blood vessels on the face. A laser can break up small surface blood vessels and stimulate collagen producing cells without damaging the skin’s outer layer. Vascular problems such as roseacea, flushing and dilated capillaries all respond well to office lasers and intense pulsed light. Look for a well established spa with an excellent
reputation and staffed with medical experts in the field of skin care.
