Is your skin ready for the summer?
If you’re not yet ready to flaunt your skin, you have time to get yourself glowing before the official swimsuit season is here. Gorgeous skin is a must for the summer months when you’ll be wearing shorts, sleeveless shirts and bathing suits. Fortunately, there are safe, effective ways to get rid of acne, rough skin and brown spots so that you can feel more comfortable in your skin (no pun intended)!
Let’s take a look at a few of the ways that you can enhance your skin for the summer.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels remove dead skin cells and are most commonly used on the face, neck or hands. A chemical solution is applied to the area, which then exfoliates the skin and causes it to eventually fall off. What’s left behind is new, rejuvenated skin that is smoother and less wrinkled.
Laser Skin Resurfacing
Laser skin resurfacing is a treatment that is designed to minimize wrinkles and skin blemishes. The treatment uses short beams of light that pulsate and are aimed at the affected areas. The pulsing light removes skin layer by layer for a smooth, seamless appearance.
Botox and Dermal Fillers
Botox and dermal fillers are options for treating wrinkles and smoothing out the skin. The advantage to Botox and dermal fillers is that they are non-surgical, so you don’t have to worry about any downtime.
Botox relaxes muscle movement and softens wrinkles and fine lines. Dermal fillers add volume to the skin. Also, dermal fillers are sometimes more ideal to use on lines that are around the mouth because too much Botox in this area can make a person lose the ability to eat, kiss or smile.
Consult with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon
Each person is unique, so it’s important to discuss your options with a board-certified plastic surgeon. He or she will be able to tell you which techniques are best for improving the look of your skin. The good news is that no matter what problem you’re facing – scarring, acne, wrinkles – there is a safe and effective solution to help.
