There are endless skincare products on the market that claim to stop you from aging, decrease the size of your pores, tighten your skin, the list goes on. While using these products can be helpful, the skin is a complicated organ with several aspects to take into consideration that can not all simply be addressed with one magical product.
Here are two treatments to add to your skincare routine that can actually decrease and eliminate wrinkles, treat pigmentation, sun damage, and scars, and help with the upkeep of your skin.
The first treatment was designed to treat fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, age spots, uneven skin tone, and scars. Fraxel is a laser treatment that uses targeted pulses of light to enter the second dermal layer of the skin causing controlled heat damage in subcutaneous layers of the skin, destroying cells in problem areas without actually damaging the healthy cells. As your skin begins to repair itself, extra collagen and elastin is produced, leaving your skin healthier, tighter, and less wrinkly. While Fraxel NYC is still not a one-and-done treatment for your skin, leaving it youthful and glowing forever, it certainly seems to have some wonderful benefits. Many people receive monthly or bi-monthly treatments to maintain their skin, but it is always good to ask your physician or dermatologist if the treatment is right for you before you go ahead and get it done.
The second treatment can be used weekly if deemed appropriate by your physician and is called micro-needling. Microneedling NYC is a treatment using a small tool that punctures your skin with tiny needles causing controlled damage to the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production, leaving you with a more even tone and texture. Microneedling also has other benefits including the treatment of scars and the promotion of hair growth. While it can get a little bloody during the procedure, it is totally safe and has been used since the 1990s by doctors and dermatologists for a number of purposes. The main thing to keep in mind with micro-needling is that it shows improvement over time. One treatment may give you some results, but for the best results, you’re going to want to make it part of your skincare routine – not just a one-time facial type thing.
Both treatments require proper hydration of the skin post-procedure and your doctor may offer you a cream or serum to use after to aid in the healing process. While micro-needling usually just leaves you with some redness and puffiness, Fraxel does come with some downtime as it essentially heals as a sunburn would.
As mentioned above, your skin requires (and deserves) a lot of attention. One cream, serum, or treatment will likely not do much for you. It’s all about maintenance and medical-grade facials to keep your skin healthy and glowing in the long run.
