When you think about skin concerns, lines and wrinkles are usually thought of as being the most common, but according to a survey by the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery, 72% of those asked highlighted skin texture and discoloration as a concern.
Good healthy skin is not necessarily line-free, but it does involve a smooth and fresh-looking skin texture and an even, healthy colour tone. There is a radiance and a glow about good skin which is universally attractive.
Without good skin texture, the skin can look dry and flaky as well as dull, lacking radiance. It can also look saggy or puffy and generally tired.
Discoloration refers to the colour of the skin. This could mean uneven or patchy skin colour with patches of pigmentation appearing. It could also refer to redness or rosacea, giving an abnormally rosy tint to the skin and making it look permanently flushed.
Treatments for Skin Texture & Discoloration
The good news is, if you have concerns about the condition of your skin, there are now a host of modern aesthetic skin treatments that could improve it. Rather than troubleshooting specific lines and wrinkles, the emphasis is on a more holistic treatment which works to stimulate the skin’s own renewal and healing, leaving the skin looking healthier and rejuvenated with a more radiant glow, a more appealing texture and more even colour.
Options include:
- Prescription Skincare – ZO Skin Health can improve the skin using advanced ingredients and formulations
- Facial Peels – chemical exfoliation to strip away the dull, outer layers revealing fresher skin beneath
- Microdermabrasion – mechanical exfoliation which stimulates cell renewal
- Laser Treatments – a host of options for boosting collagen and healing within the skin
- Dermaroller Therapy – microneedling treatment which allows deep penetration of serums and also stimulates the skin’s healing mechanisms
- LED treatment – award-winning therapy which uses light to boost the skin, treating a range of conditions
- Tixel® thermal fractional rejuvenation – award-nominated system which uses heat
All these are completely non-surgical options.
Some involve no downtime at all, while others can be used more intensively for deeper results after a short time of healing and recovery.
