Want to Look More Youthful? 2 Skin Rejuvenation Treatments

by Tammy Tucker

If you are getting older and would like to look more youthful there are many skin rejuvenation treatments available that can give you this. Below is information about two of these treatments so you can decide what would work best for you.

Chemical Peel

A chemical peel will help with wrinkles, rough skin patches, fine lines, clogged pores, acne scars, and sun damage on your face. There are light peels that can be used but these will only remove the superficial layer of skin. This can give you a better skin texture. After the procedure, you will look like you have a sunburn and will then start to peel, which should go away in a few days. The technician can tell you how long this recovery takes.

There is a medium chemical peel that goes a little deeper and can help remove fine lines, acne on the surface of your skin, and dark spots. When finished, you will have red skin and then peeling. There is also a deeper peel that is done by a cosmetic surgeon in a hospital. You are put under anesthesia during the treatment. This type does last for many years but there is a lot of recovery time. For example, your face will be very red for much longer when compared to other peels and your peeling will last longer. The surgeon can give you information about the recovery period. 

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is deep cleaning your skin and then exfoliating your skin to remove dead skin cells. This will help stimulate collagen growth which can help with fine lines and wrinkles. This will help remove fine lines, as well as sunspots and blemishes from your face. You will see results immediately after the procedure and will have no recovery period. Your skin will look healthy as soon as the procedure is over. 

There are different types of microdermabrasion procedures available. With one type, the technician sprays your face with a fine coating of small crystals to exfoliate the skin. Then they use a device to vacuum up the dead skin cells. 

There is also laser microdermabrasion which uses a laser on your face to remove things like acne scars, wrinkles, fine lines, birthmarks, and sunspots. This can be done by a dermatologist or a skilled technician. 

Talk with a dermatologist about these treatments as well as other treatment options that are available to you or contact a clinic like Masri Clinic to learn more.
