Does your skin have acne scars, age spots, fine lines, or other imperfections that you would like to clear up? Cosmetic treatments are just what you need to improve skin texture on your body. These treatments may include using heat to encourage collagen production or remove dead skin cells. Many of the treatments are non-invasive, meaning that the recovery time is swift and virtually painless.
At Beauty Med, we offer a variety of cosmetic treatments that help to improve uneven skin texture. Each treatment uses different tools and modern technologies that target specific skin conditions. The procedures are proven to be effective with very promising long-term results. After a few ongoing appointments at our medical spa, you will enjoy the lasting benefits of smooth and glowing skin.
Check out these five popular treatments that can improve the skin texture on your body:
1. Improve skin texture with IPL treatment
The Intense Pulsed Light treatment (IPL) is a non-invasive procedure that helps to improve skin texture. This treatment uses short pulsating beams of light to carefully remove skin layers, one after the other. After the IPL treatment, the skin gradually heals itself, making the old skin dry before it peels off. The new skin cells will leave your skin looking younger, tighter, and healthier.
The IPL treatment is fantastic for improving skin conditions such as wrinkles, sunburns, age spots, uneven skin tones, and acne scars. After the treatment, you should clean and moisturize the targeted areas up to four times each day. Also, use a powerful sunscreen and limit your time in the sun.
2. Improve skin texture with a chemical peel
In a chemical peel treatment, a safe chemical solution is gently applied to the skin. This causes the top layer of skin to blister and gradually fall off, leaving behind new skin. The peels range from mild to deep, with increasing degrees of effectiveness. The most suitable chemical peel is determined by the severity of the damage to your skin.
Mild peels have alpha hydroxy acid, while medium peels are designed with trichloroacetic acid. For severe skin imperfections such as scars and wrinkles, a deep peel containing phenol might be needed. A deep peel treatment has dramatic results that last up to ten years. After a chemical peel, you may need to reduce your time in the sun temporarily to avoid skin damage. If you go outside, apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of above 30.
3. Improve skin texture with microneedling
Microneedling is a minimally invasive, non-surgical procedure to improve skin texture. It is performed using a special microneedling pen with tiny needles that prick the skin gently. This action prompts the skin to repair itself, producing collagen and elastin in the process. As the skin recovers, you will enjoy a softer and smoother texture that comes with a healthy radiance.
The microneedling treatment is safe for different skin types and colours. It is frequent used to reduce skin pigmentation, acne scars, enlarged pores, and wrinkles. After the treatment, remember to moisturize, hydrate, and apply sunscreen to avoid irritation. The number of required sessions depend on your skin conditions and expectations.
4. Improve skin texture with laser hair removal
No matter how soft and silky your skin may be, you cannot enjoy its texture if there is too much body hair in the way. This is where laser hair removal works best, getting rid of any unwanted hair on your body. The procedure permanently removes hair from undesirable areas, such as between eyebrows, underarms, bikini lines, and on the back.
This treatment beams highly concentrated light into the hair follicles. Once the pigment in the follicles absorb the light, the hair is then destroyed. During the procedure, a cold gel is applied to keep the skin cool. Both the patient and the technician must also wear eye protection. Most people require several laser hair removal sessions to completely stop hair from growing back.
5. Improve skin texture with beauty products
Unfortunately, smooth skin texture doesn't last forever. As aging and genetics take their toll on your body, you need an ongoing beauty routine to combat the natural erosion of your skin. If you haven't done so already, it's time to put together a robust skincare regimen, consisting of various creams, gels, or serums.
Your skincare essentials may include cleansers, moisturizers, face masks, exfoliators, and essential oils. However, don't complicate your beauty treatment by using too many products together, as it may lead to diminishing results. Sometimes, a simple skin care routine is all you need to improve skin texture. Experiment with different products until you find the best combination that can be applied quickly and easily.
