Your skin goes through a lot throughout the year: from the stresses of work to damaging air pollutants to the sun in the summer and winds of winter. This can lead to your skin feeling rough, dry, or oily, leaving you uncomfortable throughout the day. But this is no fear with today’s modern spa treatments. Read on to find out what you should do for your skin before the year is up.
It’s important to remember to ensure a professional is enacting these skincare treatments, as the skin can be quite delicate and could damage easily if mistreated. It is best to seek out well-known and highly qualified spa professionals, such as those at Aurora Med Spa to be certain that you will be safely and excellently taken care of.
Chemexfoliation
Chemexfoliation has a number of names depending on the specific treatment that you choose, but they all fall under the branch of chemical peels. They are cosmetic treatments used on the face, most commonly used as an anti-aging solution designed to rejuvenate the skin. Chemical peels utilize gentle acids to cause the top layers of dead skin to peel away from the living, undamaged tissue, removing spots, sun damage, and fine lines. Many peels also promote an increase in collagen production, leading to healthier skin. Though your skin may at first peel away it will quickly give way to a new, hydrated and healthy skin layer.
Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is intended to combat age spots and light acne scars, though repeated treatment can be used for wrinkle removal, clogged pores, and even rehydrating areas of your skin. This treatment works by using a small instrument to spray small crystals onto the surface of the skin to exfoliate the layers of skin, while simultaneously using suction to remove the crystals and dry or dead skin cells. This treatment is relaxing and virtually painless, leaving the skin with a smoother look and younger complexion.
Microneedling
Another micro-treatment, micro-needling, is the art of making a series of small, controlled “wounds” beneath the surface of the skin. These small wounds promote the natural triggering of collagen production, the protein that heals the skin and improves the elasticity and texture of the skin. It also softens the fine lines and wrinkles of the skin, diminishes acne scars, and improves the overall appearance of the skin. Though micro-needling can be slightly painful to some, most people report the procedure to cause no pain at all. It can cause some redness, swelling, or tenderness for a few hours afterward, but this soon gives way to healthier, younger-looking skin.
It is vital to care for your skin throughout your life, as it is the largest organ of your body and the most visible part of you. It’s good to keep your skin as healthy as possible and to treat it periodically, for a relaxing experience and to keep your skin feeling happy and young.
