Home > Before A Chemical Peel > Assessment of Skin Type  Skin Care Tips- Assessing the degree of skin rejuvenation requiredWith the popularity of non-surgical skin treatments, such as retinol, more and more people are coming forward to have their skin rejuvenated. But different treatments are only suitable for specific skin types, so a thorough assessment is essential for selection of the best skin rejuvenation procedure for your skin type. Given below are some practical skin care tips for choosing the anti-ageing treatments for your skin care. Facial skin care varies with various skin types requiring different skin care. While some require deep chemical peels others only need mild microdermabrasion. Minor photoaging can be reversed with anti-ageing skin care such as free-radical avoidance and peeling with a topical facial skin care regimen consisting of buffing grains, α-hydroxy acid normalizing tonics and vitamin A conditioning lotions. The extent of wrinkling and degree of blotchy pigmentation is assessed along with the elasticity of the skin to determine the selection of the best skin care regime. Plastic surgeons have developed a typical photoaging index to determine the level of skin rejuvenation required to reduce the visible signs of aging. This score helps the cosmetic surgeon to chalk out a complete skin rejuvenation program. Skin Care Tips for choosing the correct procedure
Some Practical Skin Care Tips The very early signs of aging can be reduced with an anti-ageing skin care and skin conditioning program consisting of buffing grains, alpha-hydroxy acid normalizing tonics, and vitamin A conditioning lotions. This combination stimulates new collagen, puffs out fine lines, and is adequate to reverse the signs of aging where the photo aging score is below 5. As the photoaging index increases, superficial peels and microdermabrasions can be added to the regimen of facial skin care. The reversal of moderate photoaging requires the addition of light-to-moderate peels using a-hydroxy acids combined with microdermabrasion With a more advanced photoaging score, a facial anti-ageing skin care with Jessner/trichloroacetic acid (TCA) combination peel (Monheit peel) is used which can be repeated once to twice a year. Deep Phenol Peels The phenol peelremains the standard to reverse heavy lines. A new modified formula (Hetter) is used which contains less phenol and less croton oil than previous formulations. In the period of skin conditioning in preparation for the chemical peel The deeper resurfacing techniques such as dermabrasions, laser resurfacing, phenol peel professional skin care regimenl, and combinations of these techniques provide a program to improve more severely damaged skin. Laser resurfacing and dermabrasion Laser resurfacing is especially useful to shrink the collagen and produce a 'face-lift bypass'. However, the old therapeutic option of dermabrasion still remains an excellent tool. Often, the procedures are combined using the peels, laser resurfacing, and dermal sanding to blend in the resurfacing. Dermabrasion is helpful for removing multiple actinic keratosis lesions. With this combination of skin care, chemical peels, and dermabrasion it is possible to reverse the signs of aging to a large extent if not completely. The experienced cosmetic surgeon often uses a combination of these resurfacing techniques. A light-tomoderate chemical peel combined with laser resurfacing and facial abrasion to blend in the rejuvenation from the dŽecolletŽe area to the hairline is generally performed by an expert cosmetic surgeon. This provides a blending so there are no sharp lines of demarcation from the face and the neck. Most surgeons today use a step-by-step complete rejuvenation program after assessing the degree of photo-aging, they consider it to be the best skin care program for facial skin care. Be informed and give your skin the best skin care and treatment it deserves. References: James E.
