Introduction:
We all dream of flawless, radiant skin, free from signs of aging such as wrinkles, fine lines, dark circles under the eyes, etc. However, for most of us, this remains just a fantasy image stored in our minds. What we see in the mirror has certain characteristics that are reflected in different combinations. However, the desire for flawless skin is permanent and not far from the truth.
Factors that cause dark skin include:
1. Stretch marks, exercise, and damaged hair.
2. Red blood cells, blood vessels, also form as we age.
3. Age spots, or brown spots caused by sun exposure, are also harmless, but they are a cosmetic problem.
4. As aesthetics become increasingly important, new ways are being found to help people improve their appearance. While there are many creams, lotions, and serums that promise miracles with various chemicals, there are also scientifically proven treatments that can provide faster and more effective results.
Below are some popular advanced cosmetic procedures (APPs) that can help eliminate these imperfections and create flawless skin.
1. Chemical peel: This is a clinical exfoliation procedure that removes the top layer of dead skin cells, paving the way for new skin to grow. It stimulates the growth of collagen and elastin, which helps stimulate new skin growth. It can be combined with topical antioxidants like tretinoin and vitamin C, which have been shown to be good for the skin.
2. Dermabrasion: Used to treat a variety of conditions (acne, wrinkles, pimples) and works on the deeper layers of the skin in a similar way to a chemical peel. A rotating blade is used to remove the top layer of skin and reveal the underlying tissue. The removed layer of skin may cause swelling and mild pain. If necessary, the doctor may decide to use a mild anesthetic.
3. Laser skin resurfacing: The skin has an outer and inner layer. A small laser is used at a low level to stimulate collagen production. A gel is used to cool the top layer. The additional collagen produced improves the skin’s elasticity and gives it a younger appearance, eliminating imperfections.
These are all proven methods for treating imperfections. The decision to choose a specific procedure should be based solely on your expectations.
