With a chock-full of treatments available in the market, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Don’t worry. We got your back. Here are the best facial treatments of 2019- guaranteed fit for the queen in you!
Get Firm and Tight Skin By Boosting Your Collagen Levels
The skin sags and droops as you age, and this makes you look older. Think of older people, and notice how their skin is wrinkled and saggy — its because the amount of collagen your body produces as you age decreases. Since collagen helps maintain your skin’s healthy and youthful appearance, if you can keep your skin’s collagen levels like in your early 20s, it’s possible to look younger than your actual age.
These treatments are designed to help stimulate collagen production to make you age gracefully.
Micro-needling
In micro-needling, hundreds of tiny needles are used to puncture holes in your face. Nutrient-rich serums and creams are lathered on your face, and the punctures make it easier for your skin to absorb all the nutrients.
The punctures trick your body into producing more collagen to repair the holes. Only a small amount of collagen is used to treat the hundreds of tiny holes. The excess collagen is used to make the skin look younger and healthier.
Thermage
Thermage uses a radio-frequency device that uses its tip to massage the face with a moisturizing or nourishing concoction. The radio waves heat the skin to a controlled temperature range of 42 to 45 degrees- which is the optimum temperature to stimulate collagen production.
Laser Resurfacing
Laser resurfacing is a two-in-one procedure that sloughs off the old layer of skin to reveal a fresh layer of skin. It works like a simple exfoliation treatment, but with a twist- the laser helps promote collagen production. Laser resurfacing treatments are potent that dermatologists use them to treat patients’ scars, arts, and wrinkles. The cell turn-over rate drastically increases, so the effects of this treatment are highly coveted by beauty fanatics.
Lighten Hyper-pigmentation
Hyper-pigmentation occurs when a patch of skin contains more melanin than the surrounding skin. It comes from sun damage, inflammation, and skin injuries like acne. A higher concentration of melanin makes it appear darker. Although generally harmless, it can trigger episodes of insecurity for some people.
These treatments are specifically targeted to treat dark spots and other forms of hyper-pigmentation. Both treatments follow the principle of exfoliation.
Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a treatment tailored to acne scar removal than other hyper-pigmentation issues. It uses a device that sprays aluminum oxide or sodium bicarbonate crystals, which exfoliates the skin. Unlike conventional exfoliation methods like facials, scrubs, microdermabrasion have longer-lasting effects because the exfoliation is deeper.
Chemical Peels
Cosmetic-grade acids are used in derma-peeling treatments that help promote cell turnover. Acids expedite your skin’s natural “shedding” process, which reveals younger skin underneath by shedding older skin. Chemical peel treatments are very powerful and effective as exfoliators. Riviera Spa highly recommends adding chemical peels to your skin care treatment routine as they have a great effect on getting rid of dead skin and promoting the creation of new skin cells.
There are three levels of strengths which are light, medium, and deep. As the level increases, the more potent the acid used.
Zap Away that Pesky Acne
Acne haunts everybody since puberty. It does lessen not only face value but also affects self-esteem and confidence. Whether it’s genetic, hormonal, or environmental, beauty clinics can help acne suffers in their fight for clear skin.
There are ingenious treatments that use technology to combat acne. Acne Blue Light Therapy Is one of them.
Acne Blue Light Therapy
Blue light therapy uses FDA-approved intense pulse light that kills one of the root causes of acne- bacteria. Blue light therapy is similar to laser treatment but it uses multiple wavelengths instead of a single wavelength used in lasers.
Since it uses multiple wavelengths, its coverage is scattered. Unlike lasers that concentrate a single wave length into one light beam, blue light therapy is safer with no downtime.
Unclog the Gunk Out of Your Pores
Pores are home to a build-up of sebum, dirt, and bacteria. This makes your skin look dull and prone to skin problems like acne. It’s vital to unclog them so they can breathe fresh air.
Thera Clear
Clearing out your pores from oil and dirt isn’t enough. TheraClear solves this problem by using broad-spectrum light to kill bacteria living inside your pores. Fully-clean pores protect the skin from skin concerns like acne, blackheads, and whiteheads.
As every year goes by, the field of skin care treatments gets more vast. We are excited for the new cutting edge treatments for 2020 and the results and beauty it gives.
