Anti Aging Treatment
There are three very popular anti aging treatments that are available today through a certified surgeon or dermatologist. These treatments are all meant to counter act or prevent signs of aging occurring on the skin of the face. The skin on your face is the most exposed skin on the body; it is constantly exposed to harmful UV rays, chemicals in the air and even chemicals in make-up. For all of these reasons skin on the face tends to age quicker than the skin on the rest of the body. Chemical Peels, microdermabraison, and botox are all designed to counteract signs of aging in the face.
Chemical Peels are facial anti aging treatments that are used to remove damaged skin from the face as well as improve the texture and overall appearance. This is done by applying a chemical solution over all skin on the face, except for skin extremely close to the eyes or mouth. The solution removes the outermost layers of skin on the face; including dead skin cells. Once the solution is removed new skin tissue is exposed that has a more youthful appearance because it has been exposed to fewer damages. At first new skin will be sensitive to light, heat and chemicals and individuals should refrain from exposing their skin to the sun and applying make-up. Eventually the skin will heal and be much smoother then the skin originally eliminated by the cream.
Microdermabrasion anti aging treatments are cosmetic procedures that are popular in spa’s. A small sanding instrument removes the outermost layers of skin that contain the most damages by the sun. Using the method allows the certified provider to focus on specific areas of interest; scars, dark spots and wrinkles. Where peels are applied evenly to the entire face mircodermabraison can be applied only as needed. The procedure is not painful and requires no anesthetic. As with new skin from chemical peels the newly exposed skin from mircrodermabraison will be sensitive and should be taken care of properly.
Botox actually stands for botulinum toxins which is actually an extremely toxic medication. It is the last of the popular anti aging treatments. In small doses it can prevent muscle spasms underneath skin which are known to create wrinkles. It is injected under the skin in areas of interest or concern. Botox also tends to tighten skin as it reacts to the injection of the harsh chemicals. Additionally botox can firm areas of the face making skin look younger and fuller.
