What Is Facial Rejuvenation?

Exposure to sunlight, pollution, chemicals from skincare products, etc. takes a toll on your facial skin and causes it to age earlier than the rest of the body’s skin. This makes you look more mature on the outside than you feel on the inside. In many people, that’s a reason for low self-esteem. To remedy that there are several modern dermatological procedures that help restore the youthful look of your skin. Together, they are known as facial rejuvenation treatments. They help by addressing fine lines, wrinkles, sun spots, acne scars, and uneven skin tone. They also boost collagen production, enhancing the elasticity of the skin.

What Are The Common Facial Rejuvenation Procedures?

• Chemical Peels: A concentrated solution of AHAs and BHAs is applied on clean skin that dissolves deep-rooted impurities and buildup and resorts skin’s natural glow. The strongest chemical peels remove the top layer of the skin completely making a scope for new, younger skin to grow.
• Microdermabrasion And Dermabrasion: In this procedure, an abrasive tool is swiped over your skin which causes micro tears. Dermabrasion is abrasive enough to remove the top layer of the skin while microdermabrasion is only superficial. This prompts the skin to produce collagen that makes your skin elastic, reducing skin sagging and making skin firm. It also helps smooth fine lines and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
• Ultherapy: This treatment uses ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production that lifts and tightens sagging skin. It is especially helpful for the neck, chest, and chin.
• Laser Resurfacing: In this procedure, the dermatologist uses concentrated light energy to remove the top layer of the skin or stimulate the deep layers of the skin. Either way, it improves the appearance of the skin by reducing wrinkles, fine lines, age spots, acne scars, and other skin irregularities.
• Botox & Fillers: Both these procedures are a popular choice for rejuvenating the face with long-lasting results. Botox uses a neurotoxin injection to paralyze targetted muscles so that you don’t form crow’s feet, smile lines, or forehead lines. Dermal fillers, on the other hand, are gel injections (commonly hyaluronic acid) that add volume to your lips and cheeks. They can also smooth wrinkles.
• Facelift Surgery: For advanced aging signs, a combination of surgical procedures can help make the face look younger. This includes removing excess skin, readjusting the tissues, and fixing loose muscle tone. It can make your cheeks look plump, diminish wrinkles, improve the appearance of a double chin, and many more. Some people also opt for a complementary eye lift surgery for the best results.

Often times, a combination of treatments is advised after studying the true nature of your skin. Consult your cosmetologist and discuss your expectations to tailor the best treatment regimen.
