Skin condition was an essential factor in governing the confidence of women as it has become nowadays. Just like daily sleep and food, a regular visit to the salon is a mandate. The inclination towards restoring facial skin and other aesthetic treatments is increasing, and dermatologists are coming up with new surgical and non-surgical procedures for different requirements. There is no doubt that the skincare and cosmetic industry is soon going to achieve great heights.
Let us not forget that the skin is the largest organ in your body. It protects you and keeps infection to itself. So, while you look after your heart, stomach, and brain, taking good care of the skin makes complete sense. You prevent wrinkles, sagging, and environmental issues, including skin cancer, by doing so. The social and mental benefits you derive are even greater. Here is a list of skin treatments that are super popular since the starting of this year –
- Chemical Peels
Used for the face, hands, and neck, chemical peels have reportedly shown significant improvements in skin appearance and feel. The treatment involves applying a chemical solution such as alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), trichloroacetic acid (TCA), and phenol to exfoliate damaged and dead cells and make way for fresher skin.
Chemical peels are mild or strong and are used according to the skin type and severity of your skin problems. Some of the issues that get treated with it are sun damage, fine lines, wrinkles, melasma, hyperpigmentation, acne scarring, and uneven skin tone.
- Natural Fillers
As you age, your skin becomes susceptible to wrinkles and sagging. Constant sun exposure and muscle movement lead to tissue breakdown. So, the injectable filler treatment is used on those affected, specific areas.
The technique uses dermal fillers or injections containing collagen, hyaluronic acid, and calcium hydroxylapatite. These help to eliminate wrinkles, scar depressions, remove soft-tissue volume loss, and enhance features such as lips.
- Thread Lifts
Call this the new generation of facelifts where no surgical procedures are required. It is great for anyone interesting in improving the textured and loose skin around the face and the neck area. This is unlike surgical face lifting, where the cosmetic surgeon suspends the loose skin by stitching up portions of it.
The threads used are made of polydioxanone (PDO) and are easily absorbable. These help smooth out fine lines and wrinkles and keep the skin laxity strong as collagen production is provoked in treated areas.
- Radio-Frequency Microneedling
This is the true cosmetic procedure that uses tiny needles with radiofrequency waves to bring back life to your facial skin. It is an intentional but controlled form of skin injury that stimulates the growth of new cells and the production of capillaries, elastin, and collagen.
With radiofrequency waves, the effects are far better than standard microneedling, and the skin that grows back is firmer and smoother. This treatment is perfectly suitable for stretch marks, acne scars, saggy skin, cellulite, hyperpigmentation, large pores, and hyperhidrosis.
- LED Light Therapy
It is a skin treatment that involves using varying wavelengths of LED light, including red and blue. Initially, this therapy was used for plant growth but quickly saw promising outcomes for the regeneration of aging and acne-prone skin.
Don’t get mistaken by LEDs as ultraviolet rays. These are safe for regular use and better than other laser therapies. It takes only a few appointments with your aesthetician, and you can see your skin improving with time. However, the only disadvantage is that you cannot use it if you are on certain medications or have an active skin disorder.
