Many women have had skin care regimes drummed into their heads, right from the onset of their teenage years. Women all over the world are well aware that the best way to maintain one's skin is to follow the time-tested cleansing, toning, moisturizing regime.
Until a few years back, this was all that was needed to maintain one's skin tone but in modern, stressed times and with the ravages that pollution can cause, the kind of care that needs to be taken to counter the effects of ageing on skin have changed. Popular methods are chemical peels, lasers, botox and fillers and for best results, it would be better to go through them under expert guidance.
Laser treatments are increasingly popular with women, especially in the over 45-50 bracket. It's seen as one of the most effective treatments for improving fine lines, wrinkles and age spots. Laser skin treatment causes collagen to shrink and helps skin feel and look tighter. Other methods include special non-invasive laser treatments, these are popular and highly recommended as it is effective in keying in on specific skin care problems like crow's feet, papery eyelids, discoloration of the skin and fine lines. Laser treatments resurface the skin and allow patients to recover faster in only three to four sittings - although some women may need more. Pearl laser is an option that clears brown spots and hyper-pigmentation of the skin and shows excellent results in skin tone and repairs damages on the face and neck.
Chemical Peels on the other hand, are very cost-effective, easy-to-use and are known to work wonders on skin tone in getting rid of scars, blackheads and whiteheads, reducing pores and helps in resurfacing skin suffering from hyper-pigmentation. The application of a chemical peel removes dead cells from the surface of the skin and will leave it bright and shining. Chemical peels work very well, but must be done under expert care. Multiple sittings work best for good after-effects and many women swear by it.
Botox and fillers have become the most sought after treatment to reduce wrinkles in recent times. Botox acts as a muscle relaxant and is non-invasive that helps in facial reshaping, removing wrinkles and lines and most importantly has proved to be safe, even after repeated usage. Botox is injected directly where a spasm or ageing occurs to remove the signs and works quickly to show positive results in two-three days. Bruising rarely occurs and the effects last for a long time, at least for two to three months. Fillers are again non-invasive procedures to improve skin and can be used separately or with Botox. Some of the most common fillers are hyaluronic acid and collagen that are already present in skin and are directly injected with a small needle on to the affected area with the help of anaesthetics or ice. The effects last for as long as twelve months with hyaluronic acid and for a slightly lesser time with collagen.
