Aesthetic skin treatments refer to non-surgical cosmetic procedures designed to improve the appearance and health of the skin. These treatments target various skin concerns such as aging, acne, pigmentation, scars, dullness, and more. Here’s a detailed overview:
Types of Aesthetic Skin Treatments
1. Facials & Peels
Chemical Peels: Use acids like glycolic, salicylic, or lactic acid to exfoliate and rejuvenate the skin.
Hydrafacial: A deep-cleansing, exfoliating, and hydrating treatment.
OxyFacial: Infuses oxygen and nutrients into the skin for a radiant glow.
2. Laser Treatments
Laser Hair Removal: Reduces unwanted hair permanently.
Laser Skin Resurfacing: Reduces wrinkles, scars, and blemishes.
Laser Toning: Treats pigmentation and improves overall skin tone.
3. Microdermabrasion
A non-invasive exfoliation technique to remove dead skin cells, helping in smoother skin texture and tone.
4. Microneedling / Derma Roller
Tiny needles stimulate collagen production, effective for acne scars, stretch marks, and anti-aging.
5. Botox & Fillers
Botox: Temporarily relaxes muscles to smooth wrinkles (forehead, crow’s feet).
Dermal Fillers: Restore lost volume (cheeks, under-eyes, lips).
6. Skin Tightening
Radiofrequency (RF) or Ultrasound based treatments (e.g., Ultherapy) improve firmness and reduce sagging.
7. PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy
Uses the patient’s own blood to promote cell growth and healing – popular for facial rejuvenation and hair loss.
8. LED Light Therapy
Uses different wavelengths to treat acne (blue light), inflammation (red light), and aging signs.
