Posted on 25. Jan, 2012 by CSG in Non-Surgical Procedures
At this time of the year we all want to look our best, especially if we’re planning to head away on holiday for some fun in the sun. Most of us will be showing the stresses and strains of work in one way or another – due to the effects of the economic downturn, many Brits are working longer hours, getting less sleep an fewer chances to kick back and relax.
You may have heard about people having cosmetic surgery to wind back the clock, but there’s also a wealth of non-surgical options which can be just as effective. Here we look into three of the most popular treatments on the market at the moment.
IPL skin rejuvenation
This treatment uses Intense Pulsed Light technology to improve skin tone and texture. IPL generates bursts of red or blue light, which is shone on the skin and penetrates the tissue. The injured tissue is removed through the body’s natural processes and leaves you looking fresher and younger. Along with being used to improve skin tone, IPL is also often used to treat a range of skin problems, from acne and sun damage to age spots, birthmarks and wine stains.
Omnilux light therapy
This relaxing skin rejuvenating treatment stimulates deep skin tissue to achieve a smoother complexion and better skin tone. It involves relaxing under Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) at a clinic for around 20 minutes. Repeat sessions are recommended for best results and after a course of treatments it’s expected that skin tone, clarity and smoothness will improve. Omnilux can also soften fine lines and wrinkles or help wound recovery after surgery, along with treating conditions such as acne, vitiligo and sun damage.
Facial peels
If you’ve had a tough first half to the year, your skin could have been left dull and lifeless due to clogging with dead skin cells. Facial peels can remove this dead skin through deep exfoliation to improve the tone and texture of the skin. There are a number of peels to choose from on the market, each more suited to various skin types and conditions. Usually, there’s a range of formulations to select from which can treatment acne, blemishes or uneven skin. Depending on the type you go for, your course of treatments could last between four to six weeks, with results usually seen at the end of the process. Given that facial peels can start from as little as £90, they can be an affordable little pick me up when the weather has given your skin a bit of a bashing.
