Get your skin festive-ready: Cosmetic procedures to consider
What's the story
With the holiday season nearing, the desire to exude a natural, radiant glow is common among all, whether with or without makeup.
While makeup boosts confidence, the significance of feeling confident in one's own skin during celebrations cannot be understated.
Dr. Kalpana Solanki, a dermatologist at Clinic Dermatech in Delhi, enlightens us on a few pre-festivity skincare treatments.
Procedure 1
Skin polishing
Skin polishing is done to remove dead skin cells, reduce fine lines, and improve one's skin texture. This undoes skin problems including tanning and uneven skin tone.
"This exfoliating treatment gently resurfaces your skin, revealing a smoother and brighter complexion," says Dr. Solanki.
It's a quick and painless option for those seeking a fresh and glowing complexion before festive events.
Procedure 2
Chemical peels
Chemical peels involve the application of a chemical solution to the skin, which exfoliates the outer layer, revealing fresh, rejuvenated skin underneath.
"Chemical peels are tailored to address specific skin concerns. Whether you need to reduce hyperpigmentation, minimize acne scars, or simply rejuvenate your skin, dermatologists will recommend the appropriate peel for your needs," says Dr. Solanki.
Procedure 3
Laser skin rejuvenation
Dr. Solanki recommends laser technology for you. "Laser skin rejuvenation can effectively treat wrinkles, sun damage, and age spots, resulting in a more youthful appearance," she says.
It works by using laser technology to emit intense light beams onto your skin, removing damaged skin layers and stimulating collagen production.
However, you may need multiple sessions, depending on your goal.
Procedure 4
Dermal fillers and botox
For those seeking to target fine lines and wrinkles, dermal fillers and botox treatments will be best, claims the expert.
"These non-surgical options provide natural-looking results, with little to no downtime," says Dr. Solanki.
While dermal fillers give volume to regions like the cheeks, lips, and under-eye hollows, botox relaxes facial muscles to lessen the appearance of dynamic wrinkles.
