A new improved you

There are 3 treatments that can spark health improvements for your skin

Treatments that can spark progress to healthier skin

Dermabrasion, Chemical peels, and Collagen induction therapy are all treatments that speed up new skin growth and stimulate the production of collagen. They all can reduce wrinkles and surface scars, smooth the skin, and lead to youthful, healthier skin. This is all valuable skin improvement that can be done at home inexpensively too! Dermabrasion and chemical peels can be handy for removing the top layer of dead skin.

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are great at smoothing out the surface of the skin as well as the skin tone.

Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA) and Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) chemical peels

BHA chemical peels are oil soluble and better at breaking them down and cleaning out pores where oil collects. Strong peels like BHA ones are great for skin improvement like removing age spots (liver spots), precancerous spots, and scars. These are great in dealing with acne and sun damage.

AHA chemical peels are water soluble acids made from fruit sugars. These work more on the surface skin. The most commonly used peel in this type is Glycolic acid which has anti-microbial properties. This one is made from sugar cane. Other AHA peels are lactic acid (milk lactose), tataric (grape extracts), citric (fruit extracts), malic (apple acids), and mandelic (almond extracts).

Salicylic Chemical Peels – my favorite for many reasons

Salicylic chemical peels are the best and most affordable way to reduce pore size! The other is expensive laser treatments. Chemical peels can clear out the sebum in the pores, remove the top layer of the skin as well as inside the pore, and cause the lining to grow new tissue faster and reduce in size. This pore reduction comes about from both the unclogging of the pore and the freeing of the new growth of the pore lining. Any other treatment only provides temporary changes.

Salicylic chemical peels also can help fight acne. It helps by unclogging the pores of sebum and dead skin. This does not fight bacteria that cause acne, however, the unclogged pore will be far less likely to have any problems from any remaining. The bacteria require something like anti-bacterial cleanser or benzoyl peroxide products. The bonus skin improvement is that chemical peels reduce acne scars on the skin surface. This can be a good tool to healthier skin without breakouts.

Dermabrasion

Dermabrasion is any treatment that mechanically removes the top layers of dead skin. The tools that qualify as dermabrasion treatment can be washing strongly with a wash cloth, a cleansing brush, to using a rotary brush or buffer tool, to a professional machine that removes surface skin layers. This can be a good method for smoothing the skin.

Collagen Induction Therapy

Collagen Induction Therapy is a treatment that can stimulate improvements to the deeper layers of skin. This is the best method for firming the skin. It can also make healthier skin through allowing your favorite skin products to reach much deeper.

It is an extremely effective tool against cellulite when used together with exercise and massage. This treatment can smooth the skin surface, while exercise and massage help to reduce the fat nodules that contribute to cellulite. Collagen induction therapy helps to fight saggy skin on arms and chin/neck area. These are areas that exercise goes hand in hand very well with the treatment.

This is also a great tool for thickening skin that becomes more thin with age, like the back of the hands and the lips. Most skin becomes more thin with aging, but those are two areas that do it faster. Any area of skin where the layer of fat between the skin and the muscle/bone is lost becomes vulnerable to thinning.
