Cosmetic dermatology offers effective solutions to wide variety of skin concerns. Cosmetic procedures are usually undertaken to reverse the visible signs of ageing, particularly facial rejuvenation. Similar procedures and techniques are also used to treat potentially disfiguring or distressing skin diseases such as acne scars, vascular birthmarks along with skin growths and precancerous skin diseases. Read on to find out more on these cosmetic dermatology treatments.
Cosmetic Dermatology
Sunlight plays a major role in skin ageing. This results in wrinkles, lines and creases, uneven or blotchy color changes such as sunburn freckles and liver spots, broken or burst capillaries and other irregularities of the skin surface. Gravity, repeated movement of facial muscles, smoking and genetic characteristics also influence the appearance and severity of these changes. Cosmetic dermatology helps you maintain your skin and reduces visible changes of ageing.
Dermatologists provide a wide range of treatments for skin ageing and other cosmetic problems. Treatments range from creams, injections and facial peels to cosmetic dermatologic surgery and laser therapy. The following section details some of the popular cosmetic dermatology treatments.
Make up Cosmetics
Make up cosmetics refers to those cosmetics used by women to enhance their best features as well as camouflage their flaws. Make up cosmetics can range from products such as lipstick, lip glass, mascara, shadow, liner, brow, foundation to pressed powder, nail polish, perfume, cleanser and moisturizers. Besides make up cosmetic also includes tools such as the make up tools, puff/sponge and hair accessories. Every woman’s bag will carry her favorite make up cosmetics.
Creams, Lotions and General Skin care
Creams are useful for mild changes of ageing including fine lines, wrinkles and minor irregularities in color and texture. Tretinoin creams (vitamin A derivative or retinoid) and alpha hydroxy acids are commonly used. Alpha hydroxy acids cause superficial peeling of the skin and possibly other benefits to rejuvenate the skins appearance. These can be used as a cream and/or a facial peel. The main disadvantage of these preparations is that they make the skin more susceptible to irritation and dryness potentially causing redness, scaling and stinging or even dermatitis. They also increase the skin’s sensitivity to sunlight and burning.
