Skin Rejuvenation Options…Non-Surgical Skin Resurfacing Technology That Works!

i had moderate acne as a teenager and as a result i was left with moderate scarring on my cheeks i had a full epidermal laser resurfacing earlier this year and have had good resluts however there is more of a sunken look to the areas where it has smoothed out bye the laser i have noticed when i slightly tauten my skin bye gently pullin against the cheek bye my ear it smooths out the results to the point i feel i would be confident in myself and happy with the results will botox in desired area give the affect im looking for i no its around 300 quid but if it gives me 6 months to get my confidence back and make some changes in my life it would be money well invested

you have had too much plastic surgery. plus, i heard botox has chicken fat in it.

Okay, so my skin looks so tired and dull. Like I have different skin color next to my nose are than I have in my cheeks and I have different color on my cheeks than on my forehead. And on my forehead I have these small red dots (they are not big t all, but the are gross) what are those? And my cheeks are kind of red and white. and my skin is very loose. I have heard of something called "LASER RESURFACING", can I get that on my face and what would be the cost for the whole face and forehead? Would it fix my problem? anything else I could do? And I don’t have a bad diet at all. When I wake up I eat 1 apple, alot of carrots, melons, cucumber and blueberry and other fruits and berries and I drink like 4-6 glasses of water each day and I take multivitamin pills and pills called "hair, nails and skin". lol I might be a little feminine, but I know people who are really unhealthy and healthy, and the unhealthy people still have much better skin than me even if they eat like chips and candies every day, while I barely eat candies 1 time a week. any suggestions? Thanks in advance and appreciate all answers, even dumb ones but good ones would also be nice =)

I would look into getting a photofacial. This will help as far as evening out your complexion. Glycolic acid peels can help. YOu will need to get a series of these peels to start to notice a difference. I pay $50 per peel. As far as "loose skin" how old are you? There are skin tightening procedures such as Titan and others. You need to go to a medical skin care spa. They can help you with all of your problems. Some will offer packaged deals and discounts. There is Fraxel that you can consider. The skin tightening procedures can be expensive and priced differently depending on where you live. Oh and the small red dots are called Petechiae, which actually is a broken capillaries. You might want to mention this to your doc when you see him or her next.

I’ve tried everything fromn Proactive, to over the counter scrubs and had a nasty reaction to birth control pills (the hormones give me NASTY migraines; but the skin did clear up!). Anyways, I do wash my face, but I have blotches and little pimple marks all over my face. The dr said I’m not as bad as he’s seen other’s, but still I’d like to have clear skin for once in my life!

I’ve been reading about microdermabrasion, but heard it doesn’t clear up everything. Then I read about getting a mild micropeel which sounds much better. What about laser treatment? Any info from someone who’s gotten skin resurfacing or something similiar would be of great help. Or at least someone who works in the dermatology area would be awesome too.

I had laser resurfacing done on my face in 2001. It’s the best thing I have ever done. My face is smooth, free of age spots and is definitely tighter. Think instant face lift. I am 51 and look in my early 40’s. Make sure the plastic surgeon is very experienced in this field. You would not want scarring. My skin was on the dry side, I might note. My daughter got a prescription from a dermatologist for her pimples and she rubs on the cream at the first sign of an outbreak and has had a clear face for over a year now. Her skin is oily. Good luck!

I bought the skin brightening gel and some other product by neostrata. Isnt doing anything! Does anyone know of a product that works? I know there is a product by clinique but its $40.00 a tiiny tube. Am i looking at going to a skin clinic to maybe do some laser or skin resurfacing or whatever it is they do? Please let me know what worked and how much it cost even if it means going to a skin specialist or cosmetic skin doctor.

Before going to a dermatologist, try getting microdermabrasion. Not all places will do it on areas other than the face, call around to find out. If after a few treatments, you see no improvement at all, you are probably looking at laser resurfacing, which can cost from the high hundreds into the thousands. It depends on where you are and who you go to. I’ve had three microderm treatments, and it helped reduce scars on my face. But it didn’t remove them entirely. Your best bet is to go to a medical esthetician at a spa, and ask what your options are for your particular condtion. They’ll point you in the right direction after examining your skin.

Microdermabrasion or Laser Skin Resurfacing?

Both require multiple treatments and are equally a bit pricey. From your experiences .. which would be best?

laser is 2-3 times more expensive than microdermabrasion. laser works on deeper acne scars, while microderma wqorks only on superficial scars. microderma is less complicated and you can have it virtually anywhere with no recovery time, laser is safely performed in medical facilities and high end beauty salons.
i’ve had both and i prefer microdermabrasion, but then again, i had no deep scars on my face. you should talk to a specialist and see what your skin condition requires.
good luck.

Im a 23 year old male and I had a bit of acne when i was a teenager and I have a couple red dots on my face now which are acne scars and I also have some red spots on my face which I have no clue what they are. I hate looking at them and want my face 100% clear. Will laser skin resurfacing help me with this problem?

MICRODERMABRASION!!! ALL THE WAY!

I had quite bad acne when I was younger, I’m now 21 and still get breakouts but mostly I have a really congested T Zone.

Micro-D is an awesome way of clearing away scars, dead skin cells, and even sucking out blackheads!

I can’t be bothered explaining it, but I’ve copied this from a website…

"Micro Dermabrasion In A Nutshell
Microderm abrasion is a simple, straight forward, non-invasive procedure that revitalizes dull skin, reduces large pores, erases fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, reduces mild pigment irregularities (hyperpigmentation), stretch marks and age spots.

It is equally effective to other skin treatments (on superficial imperfections) and, most importantly, it allows you to get back to your daily routine immediately after treatment.

In a nutshell, microdermabrasion is a skin resurfacing treatment that uses tools or products designed for home use, in order to rejuvenate and restore natural glow to the skin. The micro dermabrasion procedure is simple and painless AND (this is the best part) is equally effective to surgical procedures (laser skin resurfacing, dermal abrasion) and chemical peels (for superficial skin imperfections only).

These days, micro abrasion can be performed at home, but it was originally performed by plastic surgeons who used hand-held machines (similar to sandblasters) to spray and circulate high-pressure crystal flow onto the skin.

Microdermabrasion machines are made of a compressor and pump that mix gentle abrasion with suction to peel the outer skin layer (10-15 microns of skin, a layer so thin that you can’t see it). The entire procedure, unlike dermabrasion or laser skin surgery, doesn’t take more than 30-60 minutes. You can have it on the face, neck, chest, back, feet and hands."

I’ve spoken to many people who are totally against it and say it’s harsh on your skin. If you have sensitive skin then I wouldn’t recommend it, but it’s worked wonders for me
