Summer to Fall Skin Rejuvenation Treatments

By

Metro MediSpa skin rejuvenation treatmentsFor many years now research and advancement in technology continue to produce innovative skin treatment and enhancement techniques. These techniques are centered on regaining and retaining firmness, youthful texture, even coloring, and young- looking skin. If you have noticed your face is looking tired lately with wrinkles and lines starting to form, you probably need skin rejuvenating treatments that will help you look your best. Here are some procedures that you should try.

Botox and Juvederm

Botox is among the best skin rejuvenation treatments available. Together with Juvederm, you can get rid of the wrinkles and lines from your face. Botox is injected into your brow line and forehead to weaken muscles that cause wrinkles through tension. The resulting relaxation of muscles smooths the skin and reduces wrinkles and lines. Injected Juvederm, on the other hand, fights lines and wrinkles around your mouth by adding filler that replaces diminished collagen. This filler plumps up the skin and by doing so reduces wrinkles.

Micro-Needling

Micro-needling is used to improve conditions like fine lines, wrinkles, acne scarring, skin texture, brown spots, loose skin, pore size and stretch marks. The process involves the use of tiny needles to create controlled damage on the surface of the skin allowing the natural healing process to produce newer smoother skin. Expect to see noticeable results four weeks after the procedure.

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are used to eliminate uneven skin coloration. There are two types of chemical peels: the superficial and the deep chemical peel. An evaluation of one’s skin type and the kind of results wanted will determine which type of peel to use. These peels help achieve a significant lightening of unwanted spots.

Vampire Facial

Vampire facial, also known as Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) helps rejuvenate the facial skin and make it glow. The procedure involves extracting an amount of patient’s blood and spinning it in the centrifuge. The process separates the fluid part which is the plasma from the white and red blood cells. The concentrated plasma is injected into the face. This plasma is rich in platelets, which aids cell growth.

Environmental factors like the sun can be the skin’s worst enemy. While we sometimes can’t escape the harshness of the summer weather, skin rejuvenation treatments can restore youthful looking skin and retain the look for a long time. These treatments are safe and have minimal risks and side effects.

If you are interested in any of the skin rejuvenation treatments, schedule a consultation with a certified professional who can recommend the best treatments for you. Contact Metro MediSpa at 888-637-7228 or 910-599-9925.

Chemical Peels

Get rid of all kinds of skin blemishes such as uneven skin pigmentation and acne. The results of a chemical skin peeling are healthy and evenly toned skin. This spa treatment is done by applying chemicals that have a low pH such as alpha hydroxyl acid (AHA), beta hydroxy acid (BHA) to cause the upper layers of the facial skin to peel away allowing a natural regeneration.

Microneedling

Microneedling is a skin treatment aimed at increasing the production of collagen in the skin. It is also referred to as Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT). It is a painless process which is applied to the affected areas on the face. Micro-needling is a standard procedure at the spa, and the results are amazing.

The Secret to Glowing Summer Skin

By

summer skin, chemical peel, VI peelThe speed at which our skin renews itself is one of the chief factors that influences its health. This process is impeded by our aging process and the elasticity and glow of our skin that vanishes with age. However, this situation can be delayed or averted by stimulating youthful skin to regenerate. This can be done by going in for chemical peels.

This skin rejuvenation method is open to men and women. Men opting for it should not shave their faces on the day of the treatment and women should exfoliate facial skin or use a topical cream recommended by their doctor for at least 72 hours before undergoing this treatment. The skin becomes more sensitive to natural sunlight after the peel, so staying away from direct sunlight is recommended.

Kinds of chemical peels: These days, there are several kinds of chemical peels, ranging from light acid to deeper ones that get rid of fine lines, scars, acne and sun damage. Here are the chief among them:

Glycolic Acid Peel: This peel treatment is a member of the alpha hydroxyl family. It is a derivative of sugar cane and is seen as a natural product. It helps exfoliate the skin and give a smooth and glowing complexion. This chemical peel helps to fade any sun damage to the skin, fine lines, hyper-pigmentation, scarring, dull skin and melasma.

Salicylic Acid Peel: Salicylic acid belongs to the beta hydroxyl family and, like glycolic acid peels, is also seen as a natural product. It helps prevent and treat acne.

Vi Peel: A Vi Peel is specifically undergone when one wants to improve one’s skin tone, get rid of fine lines and fade blemishes and pigmentation. It is considered to be far stronger than the glycolic and salicylic peels. A Vi peel contains a harmonious blend of strong and effective ingredients that are just right for all complexion types. An after-effect of this treatment is several days of skin peeling and noticeable changes in the skin within a few days. It is advisable to undergo this treatment about four times a year to prevent signs of aging.

Trichloroacetic acid (TCA): Yet another popular chemical peel, this one is used by dermatologists and cosmetic surgeons to eliminate wrinkles and acne scarring for smooth and glowing skin. This form of chemical peel treatment attacks the lower layers of the skin, thus offering really good results with fresh skin appearing within a few weeks of taking the treatment.

Always consult with a doctor about which chemical peel is right for your skin type and the skin issues you are trying to resolve.
