Skin Problems And Treatments

Skin rejuvenation and wrinkle reduction, these are the most commonly seen phrases used in skin related products and treatments. Every now and then we come across to them, while watching television, reading news paper, seeing a magazine or while surfing the net. This is also a reference to their massive presence amongst us.
Skin is one of the most receptive parts of human body. Receptive in the sense, that it is the shield that is affected first with weather, touch, scratch, scars and all that. It is a cover that is a protection for our body parts, provided to us by Nature. Though calling it a shield might give the impression of strength too, but this shield is a delicate one.
We need to give it a lot of care and attention. If not taken care of, skin loses its juvenility. Many skin problems occur in intense weather conditions and also with the passage of time and advancing years.
The numerous skin problems include skin tightness, prominence of facial thread veins, acne, rashes, skin allergies, redness, red spots, dark circles, pigmentation, dry patches, sun burn and most common, skin wrinkles.
Not to forget, most of the skin problems also occur due to self recommended medicines and toning creams. One should be very careful in selecting cosmetic brand too. Substandard cosmetic items are one of the major causes of skin afflictions. There are numerous treatments available to the problems according to their condition.
Skin rejuvenation is done through the technique of light absorption in hemoglobin and melanin. The excess of these substance cause age spots to appear, when targeted with IPL light, they immediately disappear. It is a renowned safe technique for skin rejuvenation.
Skin wrinkles are treated through oral medications, surgical procedures and other techniques. Medications include topical Retinoids and wrinkle creams, and surgical treatments include dermabrasion, Microdermabrasion, Laser, light source and radiofrequency treatments , Chemical peel, Botulinum toxin type A (Botox), Soft tissue fillers and Face-lift.
It is noticeable that treatment results vary in patients depending on their skin conditions and the affected area. Another factor that effects the treatment is diseases like diabetes and high blood pressure which become a hurdle in cure of any disease.
Do take extra care of your skin and do not ignore any slight changes which you figure on your skin. Prompt treatment saves from drastic results, as it is said ‘a stitch in time saves nine’.
