Overview of Skin Health and Maintenance
The effects of sun exposure, aging, and environmental pollutants can all take a toll on our skin. To maintain healthy skin that looks its best, it’s important to understand the key components to good skin care. This includes understanding the basics of building upon a good foundation and how to use noninvasive procedures such as microdermabrasion and chemical peels to improve the appearance of your skin. In some cases, plastic surgery may be necessary in order to achieve desired results.
Effects of Sun and Aging on Skin
Sun exposure is one of the most damaging factors when it comes to our skin health. UV rays from the sun can cause premature wrinkles and age spots, as well as damage collagen which can lead to sagging skin. Additionally, environmental pollutants such as smoke, dust, and dirt can also contribute to poor skin health over time. As we age, our bodies produce less collagen which leads to wrinkles and other signs of aging like age spots or discoloration.
Key Components to Good Skin Care
good skin care starts with a basic understanding of what your skin needs in order to stay healthy. This includes using products that are designed specifically for your type of skin (oily, dry, combination) as well as using sunscreen every day and avoiding harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubs that can strip away natural oils from your face. Additionally, eating a balanced diet full of fruits and vegetables will help keep your skin looking its best.
Building Upon a Good Foundation
In addition to maintaining good habits for keeping your skin healthy, there are also noninvasive procedures that can help improve the appearance of your skin. Microdermabrasion is one option that uses tiny crystals or diamond tips to exfoliate the top layer of dead cells from the surface of your face in order to reveal new healthy cells beneath them. Chemical peels are another option that involve applying an acid solution onto the face in order to remove damaged layers of skin in order for new ones to appear beneath them.
Noninvasive procedures such as microdermabrasion and chemical peels can improve the look and feel of skin with minimal discomfort and no downtime. Key findings: Exfoliation with microdermabrasion helps reduce wrinkles, age spots, and acne scars; Chemical peels remove dead cells and reveal brighter, smoother skin; Multiple sessions may be required for optimal results.
Noninvasive Procedures
The effects of sun exposure and the natural aging process can take a toll on skin health. Fortunately, there are many noninvasive procedures available that provide significant improvements to the overall look and feel of your skin. These treatments are designed to help you achieve a more youthful appearance without any surgery or downtime.
Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a noninvasive procedure that uses tiny crystals to exfoliate the outer layers of skin. This treatment helps to reduce wrinkles, age spots, and acne scars while also evening out skin tone and texture. It also promotes the production of collagen which helps to make your skin look firmer and more youthful. After just one session, you should notice an immediate improvement in your skin’s appearance.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are another popular noninvasive procedure for improving your complexion. This treatment involves applying a chemical solution to the surface of your skin which helps to remove dead cells and reveal brighter, smoother skin underneath. Chemical peels can be used to treat wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, and other signs of aging. Depending on the type of peel being used, you may need multiple sessions over time in order to achieve optimal results.
These noninvasive procedures are great options for those who want to improve their skin health without having to go through surgery or lengthy recovery times. Both microdermabrasion and chemical peels can be done quickly with minimal discomfort and no downtime afterward so you can get back to your regular activities right away.
Plastic Surgery Options
The effects of sun and aging on skin can be dramatic, leading many individuals to seek out plastic surgery options for restoring a more youthful appearance. While there are non-invasive procedures available, such as microdermabrasion and chemical peels, plastic surgery is often the only way to achieve the desired results.
Overview of Options Available

Commonly performed surgeries include facelifts, brow lifts, eyelid lifts, nose reshaping, liposuction, breast augmentation or reduction, and tummy tucks.
