What Skin Treatment Should I Try Next?

You’re probably here because you wanted to know what skin treatment suits you the best. You may probably be wondering about the differences between them. I know you wanted to invest in a skin treatment that actually works.

There are also treatments that require downtime, and there are none. I think the question that pops up in your mind is “Should I get a facial?”

Here are some of the best treatments so you should check this out:

Microneedling

According to a study, Microneedling is a very simple, safe, effective, and minimally invasive therapeutic technique. It was initially introduced for skin rejuvenation.

It is a very safe technique for dark skin types, where the risk of postinflammatory pigmentation is very high with other techniques that damage the epidermis.

Microneedling is a procedure that uses small needles to make small punctures in the skin. The healing process is stimulated by the growth of new collagen and elastin when the skin is pricked. The result is skin that is more supple. After undergoing a Microneedling treatment, you may experience redness and sensitivity.

What really is your concern?

Many people want instant skin treatment that addresses all their flaws. But that is not always the case. Skin treatments require time and investment to actually work and don’t forget about the follow-ups and consistency.

Microneedling is an effective anti-aging treatment for people with fine lines. It is beneficial for people with acne, acne scarring, or a rough skin texture.

Here are just some of its benefits:

  • Acne
  • Dark spots or patches on your skin (hyperpigmentation)
  • Large pores
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Sun damage
  • Hair loss (also called alopecia)
  • Reduced skin elasticity
  • Scars
  • Stretch marks

A systematic review found that microneedling is a safe and effective way to rejuvenate skin and treat scars and wrinkles. The researchers that determining whether microneedling is a viable treatment option in all cases will require further research.

Microneedling is not a quick fix. It takes a while to notice a change. Your body is healing itself. People need a few treatments to see any change. It may also take days or weeks to heal, depending on its depth. It is best to seek a professional with this treatment.

Dermaplaning

What I love to remember about this treatment is the peach fuzz. Dermaplaning is a procedure that removes dirt and vellus hair, also known as peach fuzz. Basically, the concept is the same as shaving, but instead of using a razor, we use a scalpel-type blade to remove skin cells, hair, and other debris in your skin.

Dermaplaning St. Pete

Your skin may begin to appear dull because of the constant exposure of the top layer of skin to UV rays, environmental toxins, and irritants. A person’s skin may appear smooth and glowing after dermplaning removes the top layer of skin. Treatment results may vary from person to person.

Benefits of Dermaplaning
The removal of hair can make your skin look better. The treatment can help with fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and skin tone. It is also used to treat scars on the face. It depends on your skin type, tone, and medical history. Dermaplaning also has no downtime and is a great treatment for occassions and events.

Microneedling vs. Dermaplaning

Microneedling may take a little longer than dermaplaning. The skin will look pink and red for up to 24 hours after the microneedling. For up to 24 hours after the procedure, it is not recommended to wear makeup or use products with active ingredients.

The results show after a few weeks. Both treatments, Microneedling and Dermaplaning helps you to achieve a younger-looking skin.

Another great treatment are peels.

You may have heard of it but there are varities of peel. With the air pollution and humidity, the facial skin starts to experience a number of problems. It would make your skin look better with a Hydro Peel Facial.

HydroPeel Facial

Hydropeel doesn’t work on the skin with deep cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, and anti-oxidants in one treatment. It is possible to quickly revive the skin feeling rejuvenated, silky smooth, and ultra-clean with a deep exfoliation. Furthermore, Hydropeel encourages collagen growth for a sustained residual effect.

Hydropeel Facial St. Pete

HydroPeel doesn’t hurt sensitive skin and works on every type of skin. It feels like a vacuum is touching your skin. The HydroPeel facial uses acids to peel off dead skin cells. The pores are cleaned out.

Benefits of HydroPeel Facial

  • Remove blackheads and whiteheads
  • Remove fine lines and dehydrated skin
  • Improve uneven skin tone, hyper-pigmentation, sun damage, and brown spots
  • Clean out enlarged pores, congested pores, acne or oily-prone skin, and bacne

In the process, Hydrafacial treatment uses some chemical ingredients. Which can cause it to be confused as a chemical peel. But, Hydrafacial is not a chemical peel. Hydra Peel cleanses, exfoliates, hydrates, and brightens the skin, as well as clearing congestion and removing blackheads using a vacuum suction device to soften the dead skin cells using a hydrating solution. Its works as a peel treatment without needles, squeezing, or abrasion.

Chemical Peels

A chemical peel uses a chemical solution that is applied to your skin which creates controlled damage that eventually peels off. The new skin is not as wrinkled.

After a chemical peel, your skin is more sensitive to the sun and you should wear sunscreen every day. It should say on the label that it protects against the sun’s rays.

Chemical Peel St. Pete

It should be a physical sunscreen with an SPF 30. Between the hours of 10 a.m. and 2 p.m — wear a wide-brimmed hat at these times.

Benefits of Chemical Peels
It is used to:

  • Reduce fine lines under the eyes and around the mouth

    Reduce age spots, freckles, and dark patches (melasma) due to pregnancy or take birth control pills

HydroPeel vs. Chemical Peels

Hydrafacial is a non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment. Unlike chemical peels, hydra facial doesn’t cause skin damage. It gives benefits which can’t be gained from chemical peels

Most people are good candidates for HydroPeel because it is not specific to any one skin type or problem area. Fair-skinned and light-haired clients are more likely to be a good candidate for chemical peeling.
