Spring is finally here - and this is the time of year when
one starts looking in the mirror and seeing dull, dry
winter-time skin. I'm often asked which skin care
treatments are most effective and how patients can best
maintain their surgical results. While the answers aren't
the same for everyone, I can tell you there are three truly
effective things that you can do to improve your skin's
condition - and doing these things with the start of each
new season can really establish a routine easily.
First and foremost, start with Microdermabrasion. This is
very easy and effective treatment - and is affordable to do
on a regular basis. Honestly, this is the most consistent
method to maintain skin that is in good condition - without
muss or fuss.It is painless, even relaxing, and really has
no downtime at all. You could do a microdermabrasion every
month if you wanted to.
Second, consider SkinTyte™ Laser Treatments. I am
seeing very good results with these treatments, and they
have proven to be even more effective when combined with an
exfoliative treatment (such as Microdermabrasion).
SkinTyte™ is non-invasive, so it's also easy to do on
the way home from work and does not require any recovery
time.There is no redness, pain, or skin peeling afterwards.
Lastly, embark on MicroLaser Peels™ These are far and
away the fastest way to better skin. MicroLaser
Peels™ (also called the 'Weekend Peel') are the
treatment I most often recommend to my own family as a
quarterly 'maintenance' treatment. Laser peeling has
changed drastically since the days when carbon-dioxide
lasers were all that were available to us, and we're now
able to do light to medium to deeper peels in the office
that produce only a few days of redness and flaking skin -
and can be repeated on a monthly basis- rather than
requiring weeks of recovery and the expense of surgery. We
can be as aggressive or as conservative with each peel as a
patient wants, and can base each peel on your needs at the
time and any activities you have planned.
This new season is the ideal time to re-evaluate your skin
care routine. The above three treatment options, combined
with a good skin care program of topical solutions, can
being on the sunshine in your own skin! While any of these
can be done at any time of the year, the changing of the
season (like the start of the new year), is always a time
of considering change orm, when it comes to your skin,
getting it kick-started for the summer.
