Deep exfoliation techniques such as Microdermabrasion and Chemical Peels are effective anti-aging treatments that take as less as 20 minutes. If you are experiencing the first signs of aging, microdermabrasion helps to reduce the appearance of aging skin.
Chemical peels, on the other hand, works the same way but its effects are prolonged over a longer period of time because it stimulates cell renewal in the skin.
If you are looking for a quick pick me up to lift and plump the skin, facial lifting techniques such as the Hydradermie Lift or NuFACE does its job.
Both techniques use microcurrent technology to stimulate the facial muscles, giving you the appearance of lifted and firm looking skin. To find out more how you can look younger fast and easy, read on!
Microdermabrasion
Treatments performed professionally in a spa can give you the best anti-aging results especially if they are done in a series. Microdermabrasion is a popular and advanced exfoliation technique that uses a suction to scrape away dead skin cells, dirt and skin impurities from the surface of the skin.
There are two types of microdermabrasion commonly used in most spas: diamond and crystal. Diamond microdermabrasion uses a diamond-tipped wand to vacuum up dead skin cells and other skin impurities. Due to its precise tip, diamond microdermabrasion is effective in getting in tight corners such as around the nose, mouth, and eyes.
Crystal microdermabrasion is a more traditional form of deep exfoliation and emits aluminum oxide crystals onto the skin. These crystals along with dead skin cells, dirt and impurities are then vacuumed off the surface of the skin. Read our blog here to learn more about both types.
Both treatments will not cause adverse reactions and require no downtime. You may feel a slight tingling feeling during the treatment but it is not painful. You will also experience some redness after the treatment but it will fade away after a few minutes. If you have sensitive skin, definitely opt for the diamond microdermabrasion.
Microdermabrasion is highly effective as an anti-aging treatment to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, lighten age spots and hyperpigmentation and boost collagen production. After every treatment, you can immediately feel that your skin is smoother and brighter.
Microdermabrasion, either diamond or crystal, can be done in a series of treatments. Every two weeks is recommended to get the best results. The treatment takes as little as 20 minutes and no preparation is needed prior to the appointment. Just make sure to follow up with sunscreen after you are done if you are going outdoors to protect your skin!
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are another form of deep exfoliation but instead of using a machine, chemical peels use acid. Don't be alarmed! These chemical acids are safe for the skin and will not cause burning if used professionally. The most common types of acids are salicylic, lactic, and glycolic. Read our blog here to learn more about chemical acids for the skin.
Chemical peels are effective in improving the appearance of dead skin cells, fine lines, acne scars, freckles, and other skin imperfections. If you notice signs of aging such as dark spots, sun spots, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, and texture, chemical peels can help address these concerns as well.
Chemical peels help generate cellular renewal, meaning the old layer of skin is being stripped off and replaced by a new layer of skin from underneath. The amount of collagen in your skin is boosted, increasing elasticity and firmness as time goes by.
When it comes to effectiveness, the stronger the chemical peel, the more likely you are going to see a difference right away. The general rule of thumb is to start with the lowest strength and work your way up as your skin becomes comfortable with chemical peels. Depending on what your skin needs, the strength of the chemical peel can be adjusted.
As with microdermabrasion, the treatment takes only 20 minutes and can also be done every 2 weeks for the best results. We recommend alternating between microdermabrasion and chemical peels every 2 weeks over a course of 8 weeks to get maximum results.
Facial Lifting Treatments
Facial lifting treatments are popular among women to achieve the look and feel of younger looking skin. The most common treatments are Botox and fillers. These inject chemical fluids into the skin to stimulate and relax the facial muscles and produce a lifted effect. These surgical procedures are costly and come with risks and side effects but the results are long lasting if performed successfully.
The non-invasive alternatives for facial lifting are the Hydradermie Lift and NuFace that we recommend. The Hydradermie Lift is a treatment performed by a professional and uses a Galvanic machine to guide a micro-current over areas of the skin that need lifting, such as the eyebrows, cheeks, and around the mouth and jaw line. This treatment is about 50 minutes and you will notice results immediately.
During the Hydradermie Lift treatment, the microcurrent stimulates the facial muscles around the eyes, cheekbones, mouth, and along the jawline. It causes the muscles to contract and produce a lifted effect. The skin can appear more plump and firm, making it look younger and healthier after just one session.
The appearance of crow's feet and frown lines are reduced and the skin appears brighter and smoother. You may feel slightly uncomfortable during your first time because you will feel the micro-current as a tingling sensation. But this is completely normal. The Hydradermie Lift can be done once a month to get the best results.
NuFACE focuses on transforming the way women approach skin care treatments. NuFACE develops non-invasive, cost effective, at-home anti-aging devices that are FDA-cleared. These devices combine the science of Microcurrent Technology and advanced proprietary engineering into easy-to-use, handheld facial toning devices. The difference between NuFACE and facial lifting devices is the ease of use, convenience for travel, and efficiency.
The main advantage of NuFACE is that you can get professional quality results at your home in as little as 5 minutes. The design of the device, specifically the NuFACE Trinity Pro, is durable and comes with interchangeable, anti-aging treatment attachments.
With this device, you can purchase a NuFACE Trinity Wrinkle Reducer Attachment to help reduce fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes, mouth, and forehead. While the NuFACE Trinity ELE Attachment reduces fine lines, wrinkles, crow's feet and smile lines in hard to reach areas around the eyes and lips.
With every continued use, you should be able to see visible results. The NuFACE device also comes in a mini version which you can use on the go!
On a side note, if you are looking for a more natural lift and something different from devices and machines, Eminence is right up your alley! The Eminence Hibiscus Line Filler, Ultra Lift Eye Cream, and Ultra Lift Neck Cream provide a kind of temporary face lift in only 2 minutes! The organic ingredients formulated in these products tighten the skin so it appears lifted and firm.
However, its effect is only temporary for a few hours so if you are on your way to a special event and looking for a touch up to look fresh, dab a small amount around your eyes and mouth and you will be party ready!
