Looking bright, young and beautiful even in your late 40’s

The concept of eternal youth has long provoked mankind. No one wants to get old and if there

was a way out, only a handful would have sought the natural course of life. This behaviour has

kept the cosmetic industry growing at a steady pace. Between 1997 and today (2015) there has

been a 147% increase in the adoption of cosmetic procedures globally 1. Australia specifically

has been a core market for this industry. Today, not just celebrities, but the common men and

women are subjecting their faces to laser treatments, peels, injections, slicing, face lifting and

more.

Most people looking for cosmetic beauty treatments are aged between 25 and 50 years. Due to

the high demand, several types of cosmetic procedures have evolved that make one look young

and fresh. Each of these, however come with specific advantages and boundaries of

application.

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion procedures involve using fine and miniscule particles of hard diamond

tipped wand that slough off dead cells from the top layer of the facial skin. This encourages

newer layers of skin to grow, giving a fresh look to the face. The process isn’t painful, but can

sometimes be quite uncomfortable. Depending upon the technique that you skin care clinic in

Sydney provides, you might need to go for several sessions.

Laser skin resurfacing / fraxel laser treatment

This technique uses high intensity laser beams for zapping and improving the look of scars and

wrinkles by encouraging the loose skin to tighten up. Again, depending upon the method used

by your surgeon, the recovery time and effect varies. However, laser resurfacing can be quite a

costly procedure and is more popular among people who need to look good for an occasion.

Ace peeling / dermal filter surgery

Dermal filter procedures are used to treat age spots, mild scars, skin discoloration, dull texture

of skin, eye wrinkles, etc. the chemical peeling of the outer skin layer encourages the growth of

a new and smoother skin layer that is more evenly coloured. Depending upon the intensity of

the treatment, the recovery period varies. The procedure can leave results for almost a year in

some cases.

Collagen injections

Collagen injections are used as fillers and contain hyaluronic acids that fill in wrinkled lines and

thereby adding volume to the loose skin. The hyaluronic acid is among the few naturally

occurring sugars present in the human dermal cells but deplete with age. Injecting it externally

helps the skin pump up and stay tight for longer. The effect of a single collagen treatment lasts

up to a year. Collagen injections are a form of Botox treatment.

Spray tanning

The latest trend in the fashion industry is adding some colour to the skin rather than sticking to

the pale and sickly look. However, you need not visit a beach to get tanned. Go to your nearest

skin clinic in Sydney and ask for a Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) spray. Depending upon your skin

tone, the procedure can turn the outer layer of your skin into a beauty bronze or tanned. The

Dihydroxyacetone mist can be done from a variety of devices and this makes it one of the most

popular beauty treatment methods in Australia.

While, these are just some of the procedures that a professional skin clinic in Sydney would

offer, you can also go for specialised treatments like lip enhancement, laser hair removal,

stretch mark removal, nose jobs and more. Just make sure you are working with an experienced

doctor.
