Botox: The Quickest Way To Youthful Looking Skin By: Botox injections can help reverse this effect by f
Botox injections can help reverse this effect by filling out the affected area and by blocking nerve signals to the brain which effectively freeze the muscle. The treatment is used regularly by men and women of all ages seeking a youthful complexion, and it has never been more affordable or popular.
Botox treatments involve a small number of tiny injections, and the whole process takes around 15 minutes to complete depending on the size of the area being treated. Improvements to the appearance of the skin are noticeable after a short period of time and the treatment can last for a few months before needing a ‘top up’. Botox practitioners should be trained in the procedure, and have a certificate of competence and relevant insurance, and it’s a good idea to find an experienced practitioner with a good reputation.
Botox is much less invasive than a full facelift and the results are immediate. And because it’s not a permanent treatment, other methods can be tried if it doesn’t work as expected. What’s more, the ease and speed of the treatment means that patients can carry on with normal activities almost straight away without taking time out of work, or dealing with bandages and other side effects.
Although Botox has been derived from the bacteria that causes botulism, it has been certified by drug authorities as being safe to use although a small amount of bruising or tenderness is normal. If it is used incorrectly or applied to infected or broken skin it can cause more harmful effects, and it has been suggested that prolonged use can weaken muscles and cause eyelids and eyebrows to droop.(read entire article)(posted on: 2010-12-20)

Skin Peels: What You Need To Know By: Chemical skin peels are popular exfoliation treatm
Chemical skin peels are popular exfoliation treatments which are used to improve the texture of facial skin that has been damaged by acne, age, spots and wrinkles. The treatment consists of the application of a chemical solution which causes the outer layers of dead skin to eventually peel off, leaving regenerated skin which is usually fresher, smoother, less wrinkled, more youthful, and free of lines, discolourations and blemishes.
Three types of skin peel are available. Light skin peels use Glycolic acid which is a mild chemical solution to remove the top layer of skin. Medium skin peels use stronger Trichloroacetic acids or TCAs which penetrate deeper into the skin to remove acne scars and small wrinkles., while deep skin peels use Carbolic acid to help reduce heavier scars and wrinkles.
Most skin peel treatments take around half an hour, but it may be longer depending on the treatment and the size of the affected area. Once the chemical peel is applied and the treatment area turns a whiteish colour, a saline compress is used to neutralise the acid before it is washed off. The skin may swell and some patients experience a mild burning sensation for up to an hour after the treatment, which increases in intensity depending on the type of skin peel used. A post peel cream is then applied, and 2-3 days later skin begins to peel, revealing glowing, fresh and healthy new skin underneath.
Facial skin peels can be used on all skin types and the chemicals used can be tailored to suit most skin types and conditions. However, skin peels are generally not recommended for patients with abnormal pigmentation, extensive scarring, Afro-Caribbean or Asian skin, or freckles and red hair. Fortunately, permanent scarring is a very rare risk, although the burning sensation can sometimes last longer than expected.(read entire article)(posted on: 2010-12-20)
