Winter can be tough on skin — it gets dry, chapped, and tough. Sometimes not even the best lotions or creams can help, especially on areas of your body that tend to get calloused and rough, like heels and elbows. Your skin needs attention all the time though, not just in the winter! For those who pay close attention to their skin and skin health, microdermabrasion is a procedure many people choose to have done, to exfoliate. It’s a common treatment at spas. If you have laser hair removal procedures, or indulge in a chemical peel, a microdermabrasion can sometimes help smooth out skin and rejuvenate it.
What Are Some of the Popular Skin Treatments?
Our skin is the first line of defense from the sun, bacteria, and other harmful things in our atmosphere. So it’s important that we take care of it, not only for cosmetic reasons, but also for health reasons. However, some people indulge in regular cosmetic treatments for softer, more rejuvenated skin, better coloring, or to feel more ttt attractive in general. Microdermabrasion, chemical peels, and laser hair removal are among some of these treatments. Botox is a more extreme way to keep individuals looking younger, although it doesn’t have many other helpful applications for the skin.
What is Microdermabrasion and How Does It Help?
Microdermabrasion gets rid of a dead and dry layer of skin cells on the surface, exfoliating in the process. Fine crystals or diamond tipped machines carry out the procedure. It can help patients who have thin lines, inconsistent pigmentation, or pores that are easily clogged. The microdermabrasion can help remove the lines, even out the skin pigment, and unclog pores if it’s done regularly. Spas often offer this as a type of skin treatment. Having it done professionally instead of at home also extends the treatment’s longevity.
What Is A Chemical Peel or the Appeal of Laser Hair Removal?
A chemical peel does essentially the same thing as microdermabrasion, but is carried out a little differently. In this treatment, chemicals are applied to the skin, which causes it to eventually peel off, leaving a smoother and less wrinkly layer of skin underneath. It’s not limited to the face either — you can have it done on your hands and neck as well. Acne, sun damage, scarring, and light wrinkles can be alleviated with a chemical peel.
Laser hair removal is a method of efficiently removing hair from one’s body where it is not wanted — particularly in the genital area, underarms, and above the lip (for women). It gets rid of the hair right at the root, which makes it slower to grow back — there’s a 10 to 25% hair reduction after treatments, although you’ll need four to complete the process. Many women undergo laser hair removal as a cosmetic treatment. It can blister your skin, so be sure to have aloe or other soothing ointments on hand for afterwards.
There are many ways to keep your skin looking great and to feel sexy with new techniques, like microdermabrasion or laser hair removal. Visit a professional (or a spa!) to see what options you might like to try.
