There are lots of different treatments that are available for skin rejuvenation and some of the most popular that are used in aesthetic practices are
Botox and Fillers injections: Botox is a medication that relaxes muscles. It is often used to treat wrinkles around the eyes and forehead.
Chemical peels: Chemical peels are a type of facial that uses a chemical solution to remove the outer layer of skin. This can improve the appearance of wrinkles, sun damage, and acne scars.
Microneedling: Microneedling is a procedure that uses tiny needles to create punctures in the skin. This triggers the body's natural healing process, which can improve the appearance of wrinkles and tighten skin.
IPL treatments: This is also referred to as a photo facial treatment and is a non- invasive procedure where intense pulses of light are used to improve the appearance of skin. It is popular for treatments for pigmentation, vascular treatments and antiaging.
IPL works by delivering broad pulses of light to the skin to target special chromophores in the skin such as melanin or haemoglobin. The chromophore absorbs the light causing heat energy to destroy them. The body then removes the dead cells which leaves the skin looking younger and refreshed.
Laser treatments (non ablative): These laser treatments, unlike ablative laser treatments, do not remove the skin's surface but instead penetrate the skin deeper to heat up the dermis and stimulate the growth of collagen. This is a gentle approach to ablative treatments with shorter recovery time for patients.
