Six Effective Skin Treatments for a Beautiful Skin

traces of damaged skin. Chemical peels including mild, medium depth and deep peels are an
effective skin treatment for improving a number of skin problems.
Peels Type Chemical Used Benefit
Mild Peels Alpha-hydroxy acids Reduce fine lines and acne
Medium Peels Trichloroacetic acid Reduce fine lines and acne
Deep Peels Phenol Treats wrinkles and deeper scars
Deep peels produce best results lasting up to 10 years among the three; however the recovery may
take longer in deep peels than the other two types and some preprocedure skin preparation is
needed.
2. Botulinum toxin Injections
Botox is a very common skin treatment technique used to correct age-related lines and wrinkles on
the face. The procedure involves the using minute quantities of the toxin that causes botulism. In
this procedure, a very thin needle is used to inject small doses of Botox into the face muscles, which

Doctors ensure that only muscles in a specific region are targeted and the surrounding skin isn’t

fillers have been shown to be very safe when the procedure is performed by experienced doctors
and the results may last up to two years.
4. Laser Skin Resurfacing
Laser skin resurfacing refers to the use of short, pulsating beams of light intended to treat uneven
skin tone, age spots, wrinkles, and scars. While it eliminates the outer layer of skin, it heats up
deeper layers, thereby triggering the production of collagen. Collagen is a protein that helps the
skin to appear firmer and smoother. The most popular resurfacing Lasers are fractionated Carbon
dioxide and Erbium lasers which are much safer than older lasers.
5. Dermabrasion
A surgical procedure, Dermabrasion helps treat wrinkles and scars. The procedure requires a
specialized plastic surgeon to perform it as patients need a local aesthetic to numb the skin and the
