Thursday, January 5th, 2012

What could be worst than having to suffer the chaos of having acne all over your face? can you remember that shame you received from your supposed friends, looking at them, looking at you and whispering “what an ugly face?” it is very painful to feel this way and I am telling you right now, you are not alone.  But what if these acne disappeared instantly using the good products for acne? What if we now have acne-free face BUT facing a new dilemma- ACNE SCARS ?

Laser skin resurfacing and laser skin tightening are two of the best options to redefine the lines and scars left by acne and other age related reasons of scars and wrinkle. Laser skin tightening is a non invasive procedure that reduces fine lines but it includes laser light to make your skin tight.

Below are possible reasons why skin aging occurs:

  • Collagen is the main component of the connective tissue.  Collagen production decreases as we aged and the production of new cells that is  for the outer layer covering  of the skin decreases as we grow old.
  • Hyaluronic acid is a substance that is in nature  present in our body. It has been known as a “fountain of youth” because it is believed to prevent aging. However, it is not  proven yet the effect as when applied to the skin or be taken as a medicine orally. Hyaluronic acts as a lubricant to the joints that affects how the body responds to injuries. As we gets older, hyaluronic acid becomes lower in level compared to a younger skin.
  • The body’s defense systems are called antioxidants that prevents the cellular damage to take place. Antioxidants work together with free radicals and cease the chain reaction before damage has been done. As we grow old antioxidants decreases while free radicals increases. Free radicals are group of atoms with an odd number of electrons that leads to chain reaction that might cause the damage as they react with important cellular components.
All of these are facts that are said to be the causes of skin aging. While it is true that we cannot stop aging but we can at least do things that will make us look younger through some skin treatments that is proven to get result like laser skin tightening and laser skin resurfacing. Looking beautiful gives us confidence and be more positive in facing new day.
Laser skin tightening treatment  is a non-surgical process that uses a laser to tighten the old and loose skin. It occurs by heating the collagen under the skin’s surface that will cause the skin to tighten. Without surgery, you can now have the smoother and younger looking skin through laser skin tightening that is less pain, faster recovery.
