Rancho Cordova, CA (PRWEB) January 3, 2011
Got a skin issue that requires more than topical treatment? It might be time to consider the benefits of cosmetic procedures like Botox, laser treatments or chemical peels. Before going to a professional, refer to Part 7 of Skincare-News.com’s Skincare & Beauty FAQ Handbook. Learn what kinds of treatments can deliver the greatest benefits, and get important information on caring for skin post-procedure.
In the chapter excerpt below, people can find sample FAQs from Skincare-News.com’s latest guide, “Skincare & Beauty FAQ Handbook ” Part 7: Cosmetic Procedures.”
» Q: Can professional treatments boost collagen in the skin?
A: Yes, they can. Treatments that can stimulate collagen include: microdermabrasion; chemical peels; laser therapy; and Botox or other filler injections, like CosmoDerm or Zyderm. Discuss these options with a doctor. Also, remember that all of these treatments are temporary fixes, so people will need additional sessions to maintain results.
» Q: Why is it necessary avoid sun exposure after cosmetic procedures?
A: Many cosmetic procedures increase skin’s sensitivity and vulnerability to UV rays, putting you at greater risk for sun-related damage. Also, sun damage can undo the benefits of cosmetic treatments.
» Q: What is a facial peel?
A: Facial peels, also called chemical peels, use a variety of ingredients to slough off dead skin cells and kill blemish-causing bacteria, which allows newer skin cells to develop, keeps acne at bay, smoothes fine lines and creates a more radiant complexion overall.
» Q: What are the benefits of laser resurfacing?
A: The main benefits include a reduction in fine lines, better acne control and a brighter and more even skin tone.
» Q: Does electrolysis hurt? How about laser hair removal?
A: During an electrolysis treatment, the patient will feel a small prick as the needle is inserted into the follicle. It basically feels like a tingling sensation. If a person has very thin skin or the needle is inserted very close to a nerve, it’ll make the sensation more painful. Laser hair removal is much less painful, feeling more like a sunburn. But it isn’t used for small areas or for people with hair that’s too close in color to their skin tone.
