Get Ready For Summer – Cosmetic Therapy Choices

Does your sun, surf and sand summer days weighed down with looking and dressing the part? Just thinking about the choices is enough to put a damper on what should be a happy and fun season.

Take heart, you have options that will get your skin in beach and poolside shape. With minor noninvasive cosmetic therapies you can jump in the fun and have a summer to remember.

Microdermabrasion

Think of microdermabrasion as a facial on steroids. It’s powerful, and the results are pretty phenomenal. During the process the very top layer of the epidermis is removed and along with it, age spots, scars, and blotchy skin pigmentation. In addition, microdermabrasion stimulates collagen production which contributes to firm and toned skin.

Laser Hair Epilation

Nothing gets attention quickly like smooth skin free of stubbly hair. In addition to removing unwanted hair, laser hair removal leaves the skin smooth and supple. Because human hair grows unevenly, multiple treatments are necessary to completely and permanently eliminate unwanted hair. Laser hair removal is safe for all areas, however, darker and thicker hair such as in the bikini area work best.

Ridding of Cellulite

Cellulite is one of the major causes of embarrassment and self-consciousness when it comes to wearing summertime fashions. It’s caused by an accumulation of fat cells underneath the skin pushing upward while connective tissue pulls down. The result is dimpling referred to as cellulite.

The good news is, there a many noninvasive cosmetic therapies that can completely eliminate the stubborn fat. However, the result may not show up immediately, it takes some time for the connective tissue to be restored to its former shape. Depending on the procedure, this can be weeks or months before you get the look you want.

Spider Vein Therapy

The downside to smooth hairless legs is the exposure of spider veins. Visible spider vein, could cause a bit of trepidation, but there’s a solution. Multiple treatments of laser vein therapy or sclerotherapy, can resolve your vein problems with minor or no discomfort – a much better alternative to painful surgical procedures.

Results are long-lasting and sometimes permanent. After treatment, you’ll need to include extra sun protection of the area.

Cosmetic Fillers

Whether you want plump up your lips or smoothen out wrinkles for your summer time fun, dermal fillers are safe alternatives. This procedure involves injecting a filler into the skin for fullness, firmness, and plumpness. Collagen fillers from cow hide were used traditionally.
