Skin Care Techniques

February 3, 2009




iIf you thought cream, lotions, toners and moisturizers are the only skin care products, think again. There are various types of equipments that are used by cosmetic surgeons and dermatologists. Each tool has a different function. What will be used depends on the kind of skin problem you have.

Dermabrasion is one technique that requires tools. There can be several tools involved in this process. But the most common tool is a wire brush. This helps to get rid of wrinkles and also remove the rough edges of blemishes and keeps the skin smooth.

Dermabrasion is a kind of a surgery. During the surgery the patient is first given a tranquilizer and then a local anesthesia. The patient’s face is bandaged for 24 hours. It takes about 10 days to recover.

Dermaplaning is similar to dermabrasion. This technique uses a tool that looks almost like a razor. This cleans off the skin around blemish.

Microdermabrasion requires specialized tools. The key ingredients that are used in this treatment are crystals made of nutshells, sodium bicarbonate and even wood. A steady stream of crystals are applied to the problem areas. This is done to remove dead skin and help new skin to grow. This technique is used for problems like acne, wrinkles, fine lines, etc.

Laser is perhaps the most popular of all the skin care methods. This treatment can remove scars, blemishes and wrinkles. Laser treatment uses beam of light that actually burns the skin of the problem area.

There are different types of laser treatments available, among which Carbon Dioxide is considered as the best, as it is very advanced. This procedure requires high energy light that removes blotch but does not harm the skin. The skin remains intact. It is less time consuming and it has less chance of scarring or any other skin problem.

Another very effective laser treatment is Erbium later also known as the Er laser. This treatment removes layers of tissue. This is sued for wrinkle and scars. Remember this is not for severe wrinkle and scar.

Now you know which treatment to go for if you are having problems with your skin.
