Some skin conditions or anti-aging efforts call for more invasive treatments. Fine lines and wrinkles, acne or other types of scars, rosacea and more can demand professional aesthetic therapies that actually damage, or in some cases, remove layers of skin. While these treatments can trigger your body’s own natural healing response and result in smoother, clearer and healthier-looking skin, giving your skin a boost with advanced skincare products can speed your recovery time and result in longer-lasting benefits.
It may be sunny and warm now, but the cooler, dry winds of Fall will be here before you know it. Even in California, Fall brings dryer air that can dry out your skin. It is important to include a good-quality moisturizer in your normal skincare routine to lock in vital moisture and nutrients while protecting against dry wind and colder temperatures.
If you’ve noticed troubling wrinkles, lines and dark bags forming around your eyes, we have some discouraging news – cooler Fall weather only makes it appear worse! Wind and colder temperatures, with dryer air, combine to dry out and harm your skin. If you are already showing signs of wear from aging, it’s time to take action to improve your appearance.
As summer draws to a close, you may notice the damage that many long hours in the sun have wrought on your skin. Sun-drenched skin can be brown and attractive from a distance, but up close, you may see more sun spots, wrinkles, blemishes and dryness than was evident as summer was just approaching. The cumulative effect of too much sun can leave its mark, even through powerful sunscreen.
Your professional aesthetician will typically provide specific instructions for aftercare, so you can get the most benefits from a cosmetic procedure. Microneedling, laser therapy, chemical peels and other beauty treatments do calculated damage to the skin in order to stimulate your body’s natural healing mechanisms, such as boosted collagen production.
