Skin Treatments For Cosmetic Surgery
When most people think of cosmetic surgery and automatically think massive work that involves a massive invasive procedure.
In fact there are quite a few treatments that require hardly any invasive procedures to remove wrinkles or other signs of aging.
This article is designed to show that just because it is cosmetic surgery does not mean it involves massive work to be done on an area.
The first type of skin treatment is called as chemical peel.
During this procedure a chemical is used to peel away the layers of the skin in an effort to reveal a new and younger you.
Now before you get a picture in your head of a person having half their skin ripped off, know that the amount of skin that is actually removed is barely missed.
A chemical peel just reveals a layer of skin that has not bee affected by age and the sun along with other harmful things.
Irregular skin pigmentation is another.
Wrinkles due to age or heredity or sun damage can be smoothed out and the skin's tolerance to acne and external irritations can be increased.
Chemical peel treatments may be purchased over the counter, but if this course of action is followed, make sure you read the label carefully and start with the weakest mixture first.
There is no point treating your skin harshly if it's not necessary.
Dermabrasion is similar to chemical peeling in the results, but fine diamond tipped rotary instruments are used to 'sand' the skin to a certain depth, much like a carpenter sands his new furniture smooth with glasspaper.
After the skin is healed, fewer irregularities are found and the surface is much smoother.
A surgeon must perform this procedure.
A light sedative and local anaesthetic are used.
Sometimes dermabrasion in used in conjunction with chemical peeling in order to treat deeper wrinkles or scarring.
Cold packs are often used before the dermabrasion and very little discomfort should be felt during the procedure, though the skin is often swollen and tender afterwards.
Some redness may persist for several months, while small white dots can be a side effect, but will disappear shortly.
Make-up can be used after about a week.
Other side effects of the treatment may be a darkening or lightening of the skin.
The darker areas can be successfully treated with special creams, while the lighter area is untreatable, but mostly hardly noticeable.
Laser resurfacing surgery is sometimes used to minimize facial wrinkles.
A special beam of light energy can be used to make precise surgical incisions or to significantly improve the lines of the face.
It is done under sedation and local anaesthesia and redness persists for several weeks, but make-up may be used to camouflage it seven to ten days.
These are just a few of the procedures that can be done involving the skin to give yourself a new and improved you.
Also you don't have to spend thousands just to look better, all you need to do is just spend a little time and money to melt away the years.
