unattractive. Not only does it mar your beauty, this condition would
even have an effect on your self-confidence. Assessing the skin type
and finding the right treatment suitable for you requires a methodical
planning by a specialist. Our skin care includes specialized
treatments that are carefully designed to suit you.
Loose skin and wrinkles can be improved with a peel and a laser
treatment, as each work differently on unique skin conditions. For the
above problems, you would need a medium depth peel. The Blue Peel® is
preferred for such treatments. Dr. Obagi invented the Blue Peel® over
12 years ago. The Blue Peel® was developed to make peels more
scientific and to allow the physician to control the peel depth,
making peels safer for patients. Blue Peels® can be done on all skin
types and produce consistent results.
The Blue Peel® is done to tighten lax skin, smooth wrinkles and most
scars, treat pigmentation problems, and correct sun damage. It is the
best procedure to tighten skin without surgery and if repeated every
three to four years, the peel can prevent the need for surgery as you
age.
Acne scars respond to treatment with The Fraxel® laser. The laser
delivers heat to the tissue and creates microscopic holes in the skin,
removing old damaged skin and replacing it with new healthy skin. The
depth of the treatment of the holes depend on which Fraxel® is used
and the energy level used during the treatment. The density of the
laser determines how close the holes are to one another and the number
of holes per square inch.
The Erbium Fraxel® creates superficial holes, while the Co2 Fraxel®
creates deeper holes and can provide some degree of tightening as
well. The Co2 laser is excellent in correcting deep wrinkles and
scars. Of course there is a downtime with each laser use and varies
with each treatment.
Some tips to maintain a Glowing Face besides the treatments:
- Eat a balanced diet
- Incorporate vegetables, fruits, grains and protein to your diet
- Vitamin C helps to keep skin glowing; eat citrus fruits
- Vitamin E and B compounds aid in providing nutrition to skin
- Restrain from foods and drinks high in sugar and caffeine
- Avoid too much salt and sugar in a day; more salt gives a bloated
appearance to your face
- Drink plenty of water
- Avoid burgers, fries and other fatty and oily foods
- Exercise regularly to get that healthy glow
- Bring down the stress levels to a minimum
