How IPL Photorejuvenation Treatment Can Help in Correcting Skin Irregularities

IPL Photorejuvenation is a popular cosmetic procedure that has been found effective in correcting skin irregularities that commonly appear in the form of age spots, rosacea, freckles, birthmarks, acne scars and more. The skin care treatment is provided using a sophisticated and versatile workstation called Lumenis One (IPL™) which can correct the photo-aging and sun damage flaws and blemishes seen prominently on the face, neck, chest, and hands.

A Corrective Procedure for Blemished Skin

The Lumenis One (IPL™) modality radiates a broad spectrum of therapeutic light on to the skin and its thermal energy helps in treating multiple conditions. The treatment boosts the production of collagen which makes the skin rejuvenated; the skin becomes smoother, more supple and free of blemishes.

IPL Photorejuvenation is a procedure that is gentle on the skin and does not cause much discomfort or pain. It is performed on an outpatient basis without the need for any anesthetic. Patients may notice a temporary redness of face soon after the procedure, which would disappear in just about 2 hours’ time. There is no recovery or downtime involved and most patients can resume work on the same day. Usually significant improvement is seen even after the very first session.

Safe, Non-invasive Cosmetic Procedure

Patients can hope to attain the best possible results by undergoing about 4 to 6 treatment sessions. This is primarily dependent on the patient’s skin condition and the severity of the individual problem. Non-invasive IPL Photorejuvenation treatment for correcting skin irregularities is safe and involves practically no risk or complications. On the contrary, it helps brings a natural look and glow to the treated area which was difficult to achieve with earlier procedures.

Tummy Tuck – Dramatically Flattens Your Abdomen

Tummy tuck is a very common cosmetic procedure which dramatically flattens your abdomen by getting rid of loose skin and excess fat and by tightening your abdominal muscles. This elective plastic surgery, medically known as abdominoplasty, offers a perfect solution for those who wish to get back their slim and attractive taut figure after pregnancy or significant weight loss. Men and women who undergo this procedure no longer have to feel embarrassed about their body, but instead can gain new self confidence to happily wear clothes and bathing suits of their choice.

The abdominal skin can stretch excessively and lose its natural elasticity during fat accumulation, pregnancy, and weight loss. The condition is found to be more prominent in the middle and lower regions of the abdomen. Plastic surgeons undertake a thorough evaluation of their patients and assess the quality of skin tone. They then decide upon the best approach for effective treatment.

A tummy tuck requires a general anesthetic to minimize pain and discomfort and allow the best muscle tightening. The plastic surgeon makes an incision in the lower part of the abdomen to hide within the bikini line and a second one around the belly button. The abdominal skin and underlying fat is then elevated off the abdominal muscle wall all the way up to the lower rib cage. This exposes the underlying rectus muscles of the abdomen which are then tightened all the way up the midline with sutures. This muscle tightening acts as an “internal girdle” to restore a flat abdominal contour. Excess skin and fat of the lower abdomen, typically from the incision line to the level of the belly button, is then surgically removed and the skin flap redraped and closed with dissolvable sutures. One of the additional advantages of undergoing a tummy tuck to flatten your abdomen is that the procedure can remove stretch marks in the lower abdomen, unlike any other procedure.

By these methods, dramatic improvements in abdominal contour can truly be achieved! Results are amazing and can be seen immediately, despite some expected swelling which resolves over 6-12 weeks. As expected with any procedure, there is some down time. Patients typically need about 2 weeks aout from work and follow some activity restrictions for up to 6 weeks.

To ensure the best possible results, it is best to have the procedure done by experienced hands, especially a board certified plastic surgeon, who has extensive skill and experience in bringing about seamless natural results.

Microdermabrasion to Reduce Fine Lines and Wrinkles, and More


Many a woe does a wrinkle bring as it is believed to be a harbinger of age catching up. The process of developing wrinkles and fine lines is further hastened by pollution and stress related factors. Nowadays there are several advanced skin procedures available to deal with these signs of aging but most of these are expensive or require surgery. Microdermabrasion to reduce fine lines and wrinkles is an effective skin care treatment method and has become quite popular as it is non-invasive and affordable, besides being extremely effective with no down time.

Advantages of Microdermabrasion

  • The procedure does not require any kind of surgery

  • It is less expensive than other popular methods of treating fine lines

  • It leads to thorough improvement of skin

  • It is a totally painless procedure

  • A total facial microdermabrasion takes only 30 minutes

  • There is no recovery period involved and one can return to normal activities immediately

  • Can be repeated any number of times as a part of maintenance procedure


Why Microdermabrasion Is So Effective?

As we age, the ability of the cell to renew itself becomes less and takes longer than younger skin. Due to this a layer of dead skin forms and makes the face look dull and tired. Fine lines and wrinkles set in due to the reduced elasticity of the skin. Microdermabrasion procedure exfoliates the top dead layer of skin and exposes new and younger looking skin. The skin renewal process is also speeded up giving the face a naturally younger look. After a few sessions one can see that the fine lines and wrinkles, blemishes, and pigmentation gradually diminish as the old skin is replaced by new skin.

Microdermabrasion to improve the overall skin appearance is a very safe and effective procedure and is suitable for most skins. There is no risk factor involved as there is no surgery required. There is no downtime and the procedure can be done during lunch break. With microdermabrasion, you can have young and clear looking skin in no time.
