Skin Rejuvenation

A combination of intrinsic and extrinsic factors can cause skin ageing and damage. Intrinsic factors include genetics and natural ageing processes, while extrinsic factors include sun exposure, pollution, smoking, and poor diet.

As we age, the collagen and elastin production in the skin decreases, leading to thinner, less elastic skin that is more prone to wrinkles and sagging. In addition, exposure to environmental factors such as UV radiation and pollution can cause oxidative stress, leading to cellular damage and inflammation in the skin.

Aesthetic medical lasers are commonly used in skin rejuvenation treatments to address the signs of ageing and damage to the skin. These lasers deliver targeted beams of light to the skin, which can help stimulate collagen production, reduce pigmentation and redness, and improve overall skin texture and tone.

At Tracey Bell clinics, we can use several different types of aesthetic medical lasers for skin rejuvenation, including:

• Fractional lasers – these deliver targeted beams of light to the skin in a fractionated pattern, leaving small areas of untreated skin between the treated areas. This can help stimulate collagen production and improve overall skin texture and tone

• CO2 lasers – these deliver a high-intensity beam of light that can help remove damaged skin cells and stimulate collagen production. CO2 lasers are often used for treating deep wrinkles and scars

• Erbium lasers – these are similar to CO2 lasers but deliver a less intense beam of light, making them better suited for treating more superficial skin concerns such as fine lines and pigmentation

• IPL (intense pulsed light) – this technology uses a broad spectrum of light to target pigmentation and redness in the skin, helping to even out skin tone and reduce the appearance of sun damage

• ND YAG lasers – these lasers are often used for treating vascular lesions, such as broken blood vessels and spider veins, as well as for hair removal

Skin boosters, Profhilo and Polynucleotides are also popular treatments used in skin rejuvenation.

Skinboosters are injectable treatments that contain hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps to hydrate and plump the skin. Skinboosters are typically injected into the dermis, the middle layer of the skin, and work by improving skin hydration, elasticity, and overall texture. They can also help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Profhilo is an injectable treatment with a high hyaluronic acid concentration which stimulates collagen and elastin production in the skin. The treatment involves injecting small amounts of the solution into specific areas of the face, neck, or hands. As a result, Profhilo improves skin elasticity, hydration, and texture, resulting in a more youthful and refreshed appearance.

Polynucleotides are a type of molecule that plays a role in cell signalling and tissue regeneration. In skin rejuvenation, PN therapy involves injecting a solution containing PN into the skin to promote tissue regeneration and improve skin texture and tone. PN therapy can also help to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and scars.

It’s essential to consult with a qualified and experienced medical professional before undergoing any skin rejuvenation treatment to determine the best treatment for your needs and discuss potential risks and benefits.
