4 Popular Cosmetic Skin Treatments

11/02/2022

Finding the right solution to a skin problem can be a daunting task. Such endeavors can come with a lot of spending that may end up futile, trial and error that may add to your skin problems, including recommendations that may not work for your skin type.

There is no one-size-fits-all solution for skincare problems. So if the typical skincare product doesn’t work for you, you should ditch it and consider cosmetic skin treatment to solve your skin issues.

Do you have a skin problem? Have you tried several natural remedies and skin care products, all to no avail? Here are 4 popular cosmetic skin treatments that work!

1. Chemical Peel

No one is peeling your skin here! A chemical peel doesn’t involve the peeling of your skin in any way. Instead, it is a treatment that involves the application of a chemical solution to treat conditions like wrinkles, acne scars, rough skin, age spots, and freckles.

Chemical peel comes in two varieties (mild and deep), which are dependent on the nature of your skin problems. Mild peel is for those with severe skin issues, and it uses alpha-hydroxy acids to treat skin issues. Meanwhile, the medium peel is used to treat mild skin issues, and it uses trichloroacetic acids (TCA). Both methods effectively reduce fine lines and acne and are typically applied to your face. However, they can be used to tone and smoothen areas of your body, such as your:

  • Back
  • Chest area
  • Neck
  • Upper arms
  • Shoulders

It is worthy of mentioning that dermatologists carried out almost 130,000 chemical peels in 2018, many using TCA. Ensure you speak to your dermatologist to determine if you qualify for this treatment.

2. Botox Injections

Botox is a common cosmetic skin treatment option used by doctors to treat stubborn skin conditions like wrinkles, facial creases, and visible lines. The treatment involves injecting a small amount of Botox into facial muscles to minimize the appearance of lines and wrinkles.

Once in the skin, Botox blocks signal from the nerve to the muscles, causing the injected muscles to relax and soften. Botox injections depend on the severity of your wrinkles, and the procedure takes about 15 minutes. Best of all? It doesn’t require anesthesia or recovery time.

When selecting a medical center for Botox, ensure you go for one that is reliable and boast of a good track record. Quality Botox at Pure Beauty treatment , for instance,can help in succesfully treating wrinkles, facial creases, etc. 

3.     Dermabrasion

If you have a phobia for needles or are scared of the chemical peel treatment option, you can consider dermabrasion. Dermabrasion is a cosmetic skin treatment that helps scars and wrinkle-related skin problems. The procedure is usually carried out by doctors, who may choose to perform the treatment in an office or clinic. 

Unlike Botox treatment, dermabrasion requires an anesthetic to induce unconsciousness. Your doctor or dermatologist will use a device to remove the top layer of skin, discarding the wrinkles and scars in the process. The depth of the procedure hinges on the seriousness of the skin issue. Side effects of dermabrasion are:

  • Redness
  • Swelling
  • Burning
  • Pain

Qualified plastic surgeons and dermatologists often perform dermabrasion.

4. Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are similar to Botox as it involves injecting fillers into the skin to soften creases, deep folds, and wrinkles. Dermal fillers come in several varieties, with some approved by the U.S FDA. Common fillers approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration include:

  • Hyaluronic acid
  • Restylane
  • Hydroxylapatite
  • Synthetic polylactic acid

If you insist, your doctor may shun the above fillers and use your fat as a filler instead. To do this, he’ll have to obtain the fat using a process known as liposuction.

Conclusion

There are cosmetic skin treatments for different types of skin conditions. If you have tried other means to treat a skin issue all to no avail, it makes sense to consider one of these treatment options. However, ensure you contact your dermatologist to understand that which is right for your skin type.
