Advancing age, sun exposure, skin disorders, and even heredity can all
contribute to skin irregularities on the face and elsewhere on the body.
These include textural changes like wrinkles and acne scars, pigmentatory
lesions like freckles, sunspots or visible blood vessels. In addition, skin may
lose tone, feel less firm and lose the healthy glow that is evident in younger
skin.
What is skin rejuvenation?
Skin rejuvenation includes various aesthetic treatments aimed to restore a
more youthful appearance. It can be achieved through either surgical and/or
non-surgical options. Skin rejuvenation treatments can be invasive or non-invasive.
Invasive procedures are surgical procedures and include a brow lift,
blepharoplasty, surgical facelift and neck lift. Non-invasive treatment modalities are chemical peels, muscle relaxant
injections, dermal fillers, laser resurfacing, photo-rejuvenation, radiofrequency
and Ultrasound.
What are the conditions that can be addressed during rejuvenation
treatments?
The following are some of the conditions that different skin rejuvenation
approaches can address:
Static wrinkles: These wrinkles are present at rest and do not change
with facial movements
Dynamic wrinkles: These are expression lines that appear as folds with
facial movements or expressions
Pigmentation: It results mainly due to chronic sun exposure and
includes freckles, sun spots, or other darkened patches of skin
Scars: Scars can appear due to acne or any skin injury. They can be
of various types - superficial rolling scars, deep box or pitted scars.
They can be dark coloured or light coloured.
Vascular conditions: Tiny blood vessels may become visible on the skin
with advancing age
Loss of skin tone: Weakening of the supportive skin structures (collagen
and elastin fibres) that result in a loss of skin firmness and sagging
Dull skin: Skin that has lost the radiant glow because of deposition of
dead skin cells and clogged pores
What are different treatment modalities available to treat the
different aspects of skin damage?
Various treatment options available for skin rejuvenation and resurfacing
include -
Chemical peels - these are chemicals containing active ingredients that
cause controlled changes in the skin by exfoliation, stimulating collagen
and elastin remodelling, reducing the activity of pigment cells, and
neutralising the oxidative damage to the cells. All these effects result in
improvement in texture of the skin, pigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles.
Non-Ablative Treatments (Microdermabrasion, Micro-needling) –
minimally invasive exfoliating methods to treat mild scars, open pores,
fine lines and wrinkles and skin discolouration.
Laser And Intense Pulse Light (IPL) Treatments – used to improve
discolouration and/or tighten sagging skin.
Ablative Laser Treatments (Fractional CO2 Lasers) – remove outer layers
of skin to smooth lines, wrinkles and scars.
Dermal Fillers – hyaluronic acid containing injectable compounds to
improve skin contouring and volume loss.
Muscle Relaxant Treatments – blocks nerve contraction to relax
muscles thus improving the active wrinkles.
The specific type of treatment that will best address your concerns are
determined after a consultation with your dermatologist. Most skin conditions
require a series of treatments and a multi-modality approach to achieve best
results.
Who is a suitable candidate for skin rejuvenation?
You may opt for skin rejuvenation if you:
Are physically healthy
Don't smoke
Have a positive outlook and specific, but realistic, goals to improve your
appearance
Are committed to protecting your skin from further sun damage
What should I expect during my recovery period?
When your procedure is completed, you will be instructed on how to care for
the treated skin. Depending on the treatment received, your skin may be normal, or red and
flaky, or there may be some blisters and scabbing. It is important to discuss
your specific treatment plan and anticipated recovery time before you
proceed with the treatment.
What results should I expect after the treatment?
Skin rejuvenation treatments can produce a marked improvement in your skin
conditions and overall appearance. The technologies and treatments available are advancing rapidly and you
may be surprised at the improvement that can be achieved by relatively
simple procedures.
What are the risks?
All the non-invasive and minimally invasive treatments are absolutely safe
with rewarding results, if performed by experienced doctor.
However, a good home care with the prescription products is advisable to
prevent any complications and get best and long lasting results.
