The Latest in Skin Care Technology
Skin care in the twenty first century is nothing like it has ever been before. It is no longer a matter of daubing a few home remedies on oneself. The field has advanced beyond your imagination and it is not a question of buying a cream at the local pharmacist or at the convenience store round the corner.
The cosmetic industry is a huge and ever-growing one that rakes in billions of dollars worldwide, as looking good has superseded the need for everything else in our increasingly materialistic society. Today skin care procedures range from buying obnoxiously expensive over-the-counter cosmetics that promise results in minutes and hours, to going under the surgeons’ knife to alter what is not liked. From dermabrasions, and facial peels, to dermal fillers and Botox, today’s skin care technology has it all. All of these give customers (read: patients) dramatic and immediate results that last anywhere from a few hours, to a few weeks to a few months.
One of the best techniques that have gained popularity is dermabrasion. Dermabrasion smoothes and refinishes the skins topmost layer via a controlled method of surgical scraping. This leads to softer, smoother skin with less surface irregularities, a sharper definition of the face contours, and it diminishes the effect of exposure to the sun, facial wrinkles and scars and fine lines.
Facial peels are somewhat similar involving a chemical process that removes the damaged top layer of skin (basically by killing off the cells on the epidermis) to reveal the virgin layer beneath. Dermal fillers are quicker and less-invasive ways of getting something akin to a face lift and it concentrates only on the portions that are assumed to require the most attention. The fillers are injected into your skin where needed (crow’s feet, lipstick lines, forehead lines, acne pits, sunken cheeks, thin lips), and the key substances used in the treatment are restylane and hyaluronic. The effects of this can be seen almost immediately, and can last up to eight months to a year.
The commonality between all of these treatments is that they help skin look younger and more radiant. And with the increasing media demand to look good and young, you can be guaranteed a lot more revolutionary new techniques to look young and pretty very soon!
