What Is Skin Rejuvenation?
Skin rejuvenation is a treatment that is used to make your skin look and feel better. This could be a simple cream or toner that you use or it could be something more major like a procedure that can be done to your skin to reduce wrinkles or exfoliate deeply.
Reasons You May Want Skin Rejuvenation Treatments
There are many reasons you may want to find skincare that works for you. Here are a few reasons:
- Sunken or tired-looking eyelids
- Dull or discoloured skin
- Scarring
- Wrinkles
- Sun damage
- Severe acne
- Sagging skin
- Vascular conditions like visible blood vessels or constant redness
- Spots of dark pigmentation
Each one of these conditions may require a different kind of treatment, so talking with your doctor is important before choosing one.
What to Consider Before Choosing a Skin Rejuvenation Treatment
Before you choose which treatment option to go with, you need to take a few more factors into consideration like your skin type and your overall health. Your doctor will be able to recommend the best options based on these two factors.
Skin Type
Everyone’s skin type is different, which is why you may have an oily face in the same weather conditions while your friend has dry and glowing skin. This is all dependent on your skin’s water content, oil levels, and sensitivity to the outside environment or products that you currently use. You can have one of these four skin types:
- Normal
- Dr
- Oily
- Combination skin
If you have normal skin, you’re one of the lucky ones. You likely don’t have many issues with your skin – and you never have to worry about too much or too little oil!
If you have dry skin, you may notice rough patches, dry spots, and red skin. Your skin may also feel tighter. While you may be susceptible to dry skin, other factors like the weather, UV rays, and topical products may also change how your skin reacts.
Oily skin means you are more prone to acne, a shiny complexion, and a feeling of an oily layer across your skin.
Combination skin is a combination of normal skin and oily skin.
Wellness
When it comes time for you to choose a treatment option, talking with your doctor before choosing one is crucial because your overall health and wellness also play a role in which treatment option is best for you.
If your immune system is compromised, it may be harder for you to recover from some of the treatments as well as fight off any infections that may come your way after treatment.
Types of Skin Rejuvenation Treatment Options
Depending on your type of skin and overall health and wellness, you can choose a treatment option with your doctor that should work best for your skincare needs.
There are many options, some of which are noninvasive while others are more major procedures.
Topical Solutions
Topical solutions like creams and ointments are the least invasive type of skincare you can choose for your skin needs.
There are many different types of topical solutions for various skin concerns.
For instance, you can choose a topical solution to help fight your acne. On the other hand, you can use an under-eye cream to reduce wrinkles and fight dark circles.
You can also use topical solutions for:
- Moisturizer for hydration
- Toner for more even skin tone
- Spot treatments
- Creams for wrinkle reduction
- Topical solutions for sunspots or to reduce areas of darker pigmentation
There are so many solutions to use topically, you just have to find the right ones for your needs! Oftentimes, your doctor can recommend one that will work best for your skin care needs as well as your skin type.
Laser Treatments
Laser treatments are used for multiple reasons. They can reduce fine lines and wrinkles as well as get rid of sunspots, severe acne, and scarring.
At Alma Lasers, we have laser treatments for all sorts of needs you may have with many different devices and machines.
Here are just a few options we have:
- The Alma Prime is a face and body contouring and aesthetic enhancement platform
- The Soprano Titanium is used for both hair removal and skin rejuvenation
- The Alma Hybrid helps reduce scarring through the combination of three different technologies
- The Opus uses fractional microplasma technology to fix scarring issues
- The DermaClear is a hydradermabrasion machine that exfoliates, purifies, and hydrates all at the same time
Those are just five of the laser treatment options we have, and there are so many more as well to fit your exact needs whether it be for more intense hydration, exfoliation, reduction of wrinkles, or something else entirely.
Peels
There are various types of peels that you can use for skin rejuvenation. Each has its own purpose.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels get rid of damaged layers of skin during the process to give you more youthful-looking skin. The chemical peel can reduce wrinkles, minimise acne and scarring, and can also help with any discolouration you may be experiencing.
It’s important to note that chemical peels can be a bit harsh on certain skin types. This may not be the best route for more sensitive skin.
Carbon Peels
A carbon peel is a type of laser treatment that will help make your skin look flawless. These are great for all skin types and can help with many different types of skin imperfections that you want to get rid of.
This laser treatment is much gentler than some others and does not have the risk of any side effects.
Injections
Skin injections are another form of skin care to fix imperfections and improve the look of your skin. The different kinds are:
- Dermal fillers
- Botox
- Spider vein treatment
Many times, injections leave bruising for a few days to a week after the treatment. It is best to do this when you are not out in public if you feel that you will be self-conscious about the procedure.
Hydradermabrasion
Hydradermabrasion is a form of microdermabrasion, but a noninvasive procedure that can be done to help exfoliate and rehydrate your skin to give you the glowing look you want!
But what’s the difference between hydradermabrasion and microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a much harsher procedure that uses diamonds to exfoliate the top layer of skin. For many, this can be an uncomfortable procedure, sometimes having negative effects on those with sensitive skin.
Hydradermabrasion is a lot gentler on the skin but still allows you to get smooth, hydrated skin while refining pores and creating a radiant glow.
Pigmented Lesion Removal
Pigmented lesions can be anything from an age spot to a mole or a freckle. Whether you are born with the lesion or start to get them as you go through normal changes, if you don’t like the look of a pigmented lesion, you can have them removed for more rejuvenated skin. This is also necessary if the pigmented lesions are malignant or cancerous.
These can be removed through a laser treatment that removes the appearance of spots and hyperpigmentation. After the treatment, the lymphatic system clears the tiny fragments of the pigment away.
