Too Much Fun in
the Sun? Skin Damage Treatments That Work
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
Too much fun in the sun, your diet and water intake
can take their toll on your skin. If you find that
your skin has been abused, Body Beautiful can
certainly help turn back the clock on skin damage.
Whether it is acne, scars, sun damage, stretch marks
or daily wear and tear, we offer various services to
help you look your best. It is my job as an
esthetician and laser technician to help you with
your skin care needs. Some of these treatments
include: Chemical Peels, Microdermabrasion,
Photofacials, Fractional Laser or Lamprobe |

Chemical Peel and Microderm |
|
| |
A Chemical Peel or Microdermabrasion, received with
a facial, is one of the least invasive ways to
improve the appearance of your skin. They may be
used on all skin types and on many areas of the body
with a few exceptions. Done in a weekly series for
up to six weeks, they can improve acne. By
exfoliating the top layer of your skin, it allows
dead skin cells to shed more effectively, which
reduces clogged pores and pimples drastically. Both
treatments are great for age and liver spots, fine
lines, pigmentation, rough or dry skin, scars and
sun damage. Microdermabrasion can also increase the
number and thickness of collagen fibers, the number
and size of fibroblasts, cells that make collagen,
and the number and orientation of elastic fibers,
giving the dermal layer more spring.
You will see subtle improvements at first, but that
healthy glow will increase with each treatment of
your series. Then you can maintain your vibrant look
by receiving treatment once a month. Although
Chemical Peels and Microdermabrasion work for
superficial skin conditions, deeper scars and
pigmentary abnormalities may require a Photofacial
or Fractional Laser treatment. |

Photofacial (IPL) |
|
| |
When skin rejuvenation is applied to the face and
neck, it’s referred to as a Photofacial. We
use Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Therapy - a skin
rejuvenation technique that uses intense pulsed
light waves to treat damaged cells deep within the
skin’s layers. Since there are no incisions
involved, you can undergo treatment and go back to
your regular schedule immediately.
The Photofacial makes use of an Intense Pulsed Light
(IPL) device that is steadily passed over the skin’s
surface and treatment areas. The light emits
high-intensity wavelengths that reach deep within
the skin’s layers to cause a structural breakdown of
damaged cells. This promotes the healing process as
the body rapidly removes the injured tissues and
cells. |

Photofacials offer several benefits for damaged
skin, and can help you achieve a fresh, rejuvenated
appearance as they: |
|
| |
-
Reduce the appearance of age spots
-
Remove fine lines and wrinkles
-
Improve the complexion
-
Increase collagen production to help create
healthy and resilient skin
-
Break down and remove damaged skin tissue and
cells naturally
-
Improve the texture and tone of the skin
-
Get rid of acne scars and skin pigmentation
-
Enhance skin tone and help even out darker
shades or patches of skin

Fractional Laser (Infrared) |
|
| |
While Photofacials target discolorations, a
Fractional Laser is used for skin resurfacing (skin
tightening and wrinkle reduction) on all skin types.
This laser is used to treat problems that occur on
the face, neck, chest, back, arms, and legs
(wrinkles, acne scars, melasma, stretch marks,
crow’s feet, blotchy skin).
The Fractional Laser works by delivering an array
of high-precision micro beams (infrared) to create
deep, narrow columns of coagulation in the epidermis
and dermis. This triggers a restorative natural
healing process that creates healthy new tissue
including collagen.
Photofacials and Fractionals are administered in a
series of four to six treatments every four weeks
for optimal results and may be maintained with
monthly facials, Chemical Peels, Microdermabrasion
and yearly Photofacial and Fractional Laser
treatments.
