Facial And Body Anti Aging Treatments

By: Marianna Pells Home | Health-and-Fitness


There is a wide selection of anti again treatments. Whether you prefer natural or surgical, there is a treatment available for you. Surgical treatments constitute resurfacing peels. On the other hand, natural treatments include microdermabrasion and herbal skin care products.

Laser Peel:

Laser peels involve applying a carbon dioxide laser on the skin. What the laser does is remove fine lines, wrinkles and other types of damage. It removes damaged skin layer by layer. The effects of the treatment are less visible wrinkles, scars and dull patches. Although the procedure aims at removing wrinkles on the sides of the mouth and eyelids, it's also effective on other parts of the face and body.

There are still side effects that occur, particularly in brown, black and olive skin types. As exact as it can be, individuals with those skin types can still end up with uneven skin tones after the procedure. In severe cases, there may be bleeding and bruising.

Chemical Peel Procedure:

Chemical peel treatments target wrinkles, dark spots and pimples. During treatment, the outer layers of the skin are gradually peeled off until the skin has a clearer, polished surface.

One ingredient used in some chemical peel formulas is Alphahydroxy acid, a fruit acid that is one of the mildest ingredients used in skin resurfacing procedures. The chemical Phenol is a stronger solution used to treat more visible wrinkles and extensive skin damaged caused by UV rays. Risks include scarring especially on the neck and other parts of the body.

Microdermabrasion procedure:

The Microdermabrasion treatment is a simple peeling treatment that utilizes gentle ingredients in contrast to those that utilize chemicals. It is readily available at spas, clinics and stores where you can purchase do-it-yourself kits. While on microdermabrasion treatment, the patient undergoes an exfoliating action on the skin. The action cleanses pores and enhances the turnover of skin cells. Hence the treatment's effectiveness on acne and acne scars.

One may apply crystals or crystal-free treatment on the skin. A microdermabrasion procedure can be rather abrasive, depending on the hardness, abrasiveness and type of crystals used. For example, sensitive skin can react negatively towards aluminum-oxide crystals. Thus, there is always some risk, as with most kinds of treatments. An individual undergoing microdermabrasion treatment may need to be treated every other week or every 6 weeks if he/she would like to maintain youthful skin.

Organic Skin Care

If you are looking for a more affordable alternative, get into an organic skin care treatment. The natural ingredients in organic skin care can get rid of sun damage as well as wrinkles. Essential oils, body butter and carrier oils are just some of the natural remedies found in an organic skin care treatment. Essential oils can come from tea tree, lemongrass, peppermint, jojoba and lavender.

There are two well-known anti aging treatments and they are honey and shea butter. Honey contains antioxidants that are good for sealing in much needed moisture in the skin. Shea butter has the ability to cure dermatitis, stretch marks and eczema and is clinically proven as a safe ingredient.

If an organic skin care treatment has more than 50% organic components it is one of the best choices you have in the market.
