Bring Back the Glow & Improve Your Skin Texture

There are variety of medical aesthetic treatments which can help improve one's skin tone and texture. Problems like open pores, lines, wrinkles, scars, pigmentation from any skin type do benefit from such rejuvenative procedures.

Skin rejuvenation treatments range from non-ablative to semi-ablative types. This may consist of treatments such as: lasers, microdermabrasion, chemical peel, intense pulsed lights (IPL) and radio frequency.

Lasers
If you are looking for a treatment to improve scars, it is recommended doing a semi-ablative procedure using fractional lasers to resurface the skin. Fractional lasers help renew the upper layers of the skin with minimal downtime ranging from 2 to 4 days.

Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is generally used to exfoliate the dead cells at the uppermost layer of the skin. It is recommended that this procedure be done at 1 or 2 weekly intervals.

Chemical Peel
Chemical peels help in exfoliating the superficial layers of the skin and result in a refreshing of the skin surface. It reduces clogging of pores and alleviates superficial pigments with a general improvement in texture and colour. It is also used to control acne.

IPL / Intense Pulsed Light
IPL therapy is a form of treatment for skin rejuvenation. It is commonly done for slowing down or reversing the effects of sun-damage on the skin. These include wrinkles, textural changes, dull colour tone, pigmentations like freckles and actinic keratoses, accumulation of dead cells on the skin. The light is usually delivered in pulses and the harmful wavelengths of light are filtered off to allow light of a specific range of wavelengths to help stimulate and rejuvenated the skin. As a result there is increased epithelial cell turnover, resulting in fading of superficial pigments and reorganization of the collagen.

Radio Frequency (RF)
Radio frequency treatments basically utilises radio waves to generate deep heat through deep skin tissues. The increase in deep skin tissue temperature stimulates collagen production, enhances the flow of nutrients and facilitates in the rejuvenation and tightening of the skin tissues. The overall improved deep blood circulation thereby gives the skin the unmistakable glow. It is also good to note that RF can be used to improve dark eye circles, scalp health and assist in easing cellulite for a more toned / countoured body.
