What’s the Best Skin Rejuvenation Treatment?

Our skin is the most important feature of our body. However, various factors such as unhealthy lifestyle and eating habits, ageing and polluted environment can cause numerous skin problems. Nowadays, skin irregularities like wrinkles, acne scars and blotchiness are the most common of all skin problems.

Dr. Krupa Shankar Skin Diagnostic Centre offers a variety of skin treatments for facial rejuvenation including surgical and non-surgical procedures.

1. CHEMICAL PEELS

Skin resurfacing through chemical peels is a non-surgical cure. Chemical peels are made using differing formulas to treat moderate to severe acne, scars, and pigmentations.

Peels are done on weekly or fortnightly basis. A pre peel preparation of about two weeks is completed before first peel. The chemical solution is applied to your whole face or just on some spots. The number of peels differs depending on the severity of skin problems.

Types of chemical peels

Glycolic (AHA) Peel: There is no need of anesthesia as it is a mild peel used to reduce effects of aging and sun damage such as wrinkles and brown spots.

TCA Peel: TCA peel is effective in the reduction of wrinkles, pigmentary changes and skin blemishes. It is also used on the other areas of body that have been exposed to the sun.

Phenol Peel: It is used to treat severe skin problems including rough and sun damaged facial skin. Unlike TCA, it cannot be used on other parts of body.

2. DERMABRASION

It’s a surgical treatment that uses a wire brush or a wheel to create injury. The injury heals as the new skin grows replacing the old wounded skin.

Dermabrasion requires anesthesia for it is painful. Sometimes ice pack or freezing spray is used to harden the skin. Post-surgery care is similar treating burns.

3. LASER RESURFACING

There are two forms of laser resurfacing. One involves less invasion and injury while the other is more invasive and needs drilling which is also called fractional resurfacing. Like other skin rejuvenation treatments, it is used to treat wrinkles, age spots, scars from acne and other causes.

Before choosing any skin rejuvenation treatment, it is of utmost importance to get the knowledge of any risk involved. Consult a doctor to get a more comprehensive knowledge of the treatment that would suit your skin.

Know the complex design of the skin

Ahead of taking steps to effectively nourish your skin in order to keep it glowing, you must be attentive enough to know that how your skin works. This is a fact that skin is accountable for various actions of the human body. These actions consist of temperature regulation, insulation, sensation, synthesis of vitamin D, etc.

To put it in simpler words it can be said that skin is an extremely important part of your body and you need to know about it properly in order to take care good care of it.

Your skin is designed in a complex way; it is composed of three separate and dissimilar layers: the epidermis, the dermis, and the hypodermis.

The epidermis is the outermost section of the skin and it is highly exposed to various damages. It is the part of the skin that is visible to us. The dermis is the second layer and it is present directly beneath the epidermis and is accountable for providing required nutrients to the epidermis. The inner most layer of the skin is called the hypodermis and it is accountable for keeping the other two layers firmly attached to the body.

Dr. Krupa Shankar says that most of the people are unaware of the fact that all the three layers are equally important and they just keep their focus on taking care of the outer layer of the skin that is the Epidermis. In order to keep your skin in its best form, you must follow an intensive skin care routine through which you would be able to nourish all the three layers equally.
