The health of your skin is important and taking good care of it is vital if you want to achieve a youthful and glowing complexion. Modern technology and the cosmetics industry have spent millions of pounds developing the top creams, lotions and gadgets to help you maintain a healthy glow, but some elements of your skin require a little more work. These five skin procedures work to reverse skin damage and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and pigmentation.
Thermage
This is a non-invasive treatment which offers a face-lifting effect without the scarring or invasive elements. The results show after two to six months of the treatment taking place, and is a fast and simple procedure. The radio frequency works to heat the collagen in the deeper layers of the skin, which helps to lift the skin and boost the facial contours.
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)
IPL works by emitting flash lamp light onto the skin, which is absorbed by the melanin in the hair and pigmentation to be converted into heat, consumers opt for this treatment to combat ageing skin and hair removal, as it can be used to kill the hair follicles for hair growth prevention, as well as treating age spots and freckles.
Botox
There are two ways to use botox – both as a way to combat wrinkles and lines that are already present, as well as essentially freezing the face to prevent lines from forming. The results are relatively quick, showing just one to three days after the session, and is a great quick fix if you want an instant improvement to your skin. Be careful though – using it too much can lead to a permanent fixed expression, as well as dropping eyelids if performed too close to the eyes.
Aptos
A quasi-facelift, aptos works by using a surgical thread to lift the skin around the forehead or cheeks. This results in a lifted appearance, as well as showing results in just three days after the treatment.
Laser
Lasers can be used one of three ways, whether it is to reduce the appearance of lines, resurfacing the skin to improve the condition or to help aid skin discolouration. This is fairly time consuming, requiring at least eight sessions to get working, as well as you running the risk of swelling or redness in the skin.
