‘Beauty is (no longer) skin deep!’ With the arrival of modern gadgets, treatments, and skilled aestheticians and cosmetologists – who know every little detail about the beauty industry – it is no mean feat to look like celebrities. Innovations in this field are commonplace and are visible in the way doctors and medical experts perform non-surgical, cosmetic treatments to enhance the natural beauty of people.
From complex procedures like lasers, fillers, peels, and hair removal to even simple topical element applications and galvanic facials; the new-age treatments can take the beauty game to a different level altogether. However, it is advised that you should be careful in availing these high-end treatments. While lucrative packages and offers can be alluring, especially if you’re tight-budgeted, these are customized options that cosmetologists prescribe to patients, depending on their skin conditions and requirements. You can try learning about these techniques before you decide to visit the clinic.
Chemical Peels
This is one of the oldest procedures that is a favorite for most customers. Nowadays, newer methods and ingredients are introduced or are combined with the existing ones. Generally, peels remove the stressed and old skin cells to expose raw, bright skin. Since new skin cells replace the old ones, the fresh skin looks more radiant and creates a youthful glow. Apart from reducing acne scars and blackheads, peels prove beneficial in reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and damages.
Microdermabrasion
In contrast to dermabrasion, microdermabrasion is a non-surgical, cosmetic treatment that exfoliates the skin well. The top layer of the facial skin, consisting of dead cells and spots or marks, is removed using abrasive crystals to reveal the soft, smooth, and clear surface. In fact, this process allows the growth of new cells too. Freckles, sun damages, fine lines, and scars are also reduced significantly by this treatment.
Galvanic Facials
This method passes a low-intensity electric current through skin pores. It even penetrates electrically charged particles through the deep layers of the skin. For the most part, galvanic facials work best to remove scars on acne-prone skin. This process also provides adequate nutrition to the skin cells which cannot be achieved by the application of topical creams, lotions, or even regular skincare routines.
Laser Skin Facial
Using high-beam laser strobes, the skin facial works best in removing contours, fine lines, dullness, patches, and visibly reduces pores and sunspots. This is a painless procedure and has no side effects. Availing this treatment would help even the skin tone and strengthen the muscles. It also slows down the aging process and as a result, you look radiant.
Laser Hair Removal
There are also many hair removal solutions. Currently, it’s a trending practice and most patients have benefited from it. The heat of concentrated light beams is used to burn hair follicles that also inhibits the growth of inner hair, preventing the recurrence of new facial hair. Depending on the intensity and frequency of the hair growth, the number of sessions can vary. Hair thickness and body parts for the procedure are vital considerations as well. People who opted for this method, claim this method to have long-term results without side effects.
Dermal Fillers
For starters, dermal fillers imply soft injectable gels that contain a generous dose of stable and non-animal hyaluronic acid. The acid has a range of functions, but most importantly, it lubricates the movable parts of the muscles and joints. It also helps maintain the skin’s elasticity. These filler treatments have been in vogue as medical aesthetics rely on them to bring about volume to the dehydrated skin, and reduce fine lines and folds. Those dealing with crow’s feet at the corner of their eyes, age-related wrinkles, vertical lines that appear at the upper lip, or frown lines between the eyebrows can easily resort to this treatment.
Almost all these techniques have been shown to produce positive results with varying intensities. Sometimes reactions like swelling, redness, and tenderness occur, but resolve quickly – mostly within a week if precautions are followed.
