A Guide To Pick the Right Skin Resurfacing Treatment for You
When tired eyes, sagging skin, and wrinkles are looking back at you in the mirror, it may be time to reconsider the effectiveness of your skin regimen. Even those of us who diligently apply moisturizers and serums need a little assistance from time to time; consider the boost that a little skin tightening and skin resurfacing will do for your complexion.
Skin Rejuvenation Options
Several options exist for refreshing your skin and restoring that youthful, vibrant glow to your countenance. Here is an overview of some of the more popular skin resurfacing treatments, as well as how they work to eliminate dull lifeless skin and offer the skin a chance to renew from within.
Chemical Peels
A chemical peel is a procedure where a special solution is used on the skin to gradually peel away dead and damaged skin layers, revealing new, fresh skin underneath. Peel offerings include light, medium, and deep options, with additional downtime needed for each level of cell removal and regrowth. A chemical peel addresses issues like acne scars, sun damage, and fine lines and wrinkles. Peels do require some downtime while the outer layers of skin are sloughed off and new skin surfaces.
Microdermabrasion
One of the more gentle forms of skin resurfacing treatments, microdermabrasion uses a finely-tipped instrument to apply an abrasive mist that will exfoliate and clean the skin. Microdermabrasion minimizes the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, and even age spots. Smoother skin revealed by microdermabrasion takes skin products more readily, improving the tone and appearance of skin both with and without makeup. This non-invasive method of cleansing and renewing the skin is safe for all ages and skin types.
Dermabrasion
Dermabrasion is similar in nature to microdermabrasion, but it is more powerful. Skin is removed layer by layer, reducing visible problems such as deep scars, wrinkles, and age spots. Despite its extreme method of cell removal, the process of dermabrasion encourages new, healthy cell growth. Allow enough downtime for the skin to renew and strengthen inner layers before trying any new makeup or skincare routines.
Microneedling
Microneedling is different from other skin resurfacing procedures in that it uses the body’s natural healing process to address skin imperfections. Microneedling tools contain short, thin needles that create controlled damage to the skin. They stimulate the skin’s natural healing responses, including the production of new elastin and collagen so that skin looks and feels refreshed, more resilient, and more supple than ever before.
Laser Resurfacing Treatments
Lasers are a fantastic option for skin resurfacing. Strong pulsations of light are used to cause the skin to naturally peel away, revealing new and fresh skin underneath. Laser resurfacing yields more dramatic results than other types of resurfacing treatments, with results that can last for years. Recovery time for laser resurfacing typically takes about two weeks as the under layers of skin heal and rejuvenate.
