Why Laser Skin Resurfacing Is Totally Worth It!

Laser resurfacing is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that is carried out by dermatologists, physicians and even estheticians at high-end spa centers.

The process involves the use of lasers to enhance the appearance and texture of the skin. Your physicians or esthetician will assess your face before recommending either ablative or non-ablative laser resurfacing.

Ablative laser resurfacing consists of either carbon dioxide or Erbium laser resurfacing treatments. Carbon dioxide laser resurfacing is typically used to remove warts, scars and even deep wrinkles. Erbium laser resurfacing is used for anti-aging purposes; it targets fine lines, wrinkles and other cosmetic issues. All types of ablative laser resurfacing involve the removal of the skin’s outermost layer.

Non-ablative lasers won’t remove the outer layers of your skin. These rely on the use of pulsed light and fractional layers. These kinds of lasers are best used to target acne, spider veins, rosacea and other skin problems.

Laser resurfacing offers the following benefits:

1. Reduces the Appearance of Fine Lines

Nervous about getting older? It’s safe to say that most people are. As you enter your thirties you’ll begin noticing fine lines and even wrinkles if you’ve been overexposed to the sun and have a poor diet.

Laser resurfacing softens the tell-tale signs of growing older by targeting common fine lines and wrinkles around the eye and mouth, giving you a much smoother, younger looking skin.

2. It Treats Age Spots, Redness and Uneven Skin Tone

Uneven skin tone happens for a number of reasons and can be quite difficult to treat with OTC products. Laser skin resurfacing can remove dark spots, unwanted freckles and smoothen your skin tone, leaving you with an even, and more youthful complexion.

3. Promoted Collagen Production and Tightens Skin

As you age, your skin loses the firmness it once had due to the slowing down of collagen production. Laser resurfacing doesn’t just promote collagen production it also helps absorption which in turn makes your skin look plumper, firmer and younger.

4. It Shrinks Your Pores

Struggles with large pores for most of your life? Laser resurfacing can help you finally take care of them! Having large pores makes your skin look uneven. You can slather on all the makeup you want but it will always look bumpy because of the size of your pores. Laser resurfacing actually shrinks your pores so your skin appears visibly smoother with lesser chances of acne breakouts.

Marriage may not be the end of a fun life, but it is the end of single life. Bachelor and bachelorette parties celebrate a person’s last night as a married man or woman. These parties are also known as the hen, stag-dos in the UK, and Jack and Jill parties in Australia. Thomas Thurnell-Read , a sociologist at Loughborough University, describes these pre-wedding festivities as a rite of passage . When a young person switches from one phase of life to another, it’s an opportunity to celebrate with friends and family. Holding gendered-rituals like bachelorette parties to mark the end of being single has been a tradition since the 17th century . Modern bachelor and bachelorette parties in the 21st century are high-influenced by pop culture; for example, movies like the “The Hangover.” People spend a ton of money on their party arrangements and travel. According to a wedding site, The Knot, the average bachelorette party costs $537 per attendee in 2018. The activities involved in these parties include travel, accommodation, gifts, and food. From skydiving to destination weekends, and from wine tasting to a low-key spa evening , girls now have plenty of options to choose from. But if you’re on a budget and are looking for the perfect girls’ night, here are some creative ideas to get you started.

A body scrub is one of the most popular body care treatments. It is basically a facial for the entire body that hydrates and exfoliates the skin leaving it soft and smooth. The scrub is typically done with an abrasive material such as sugar or sea salt that is mixed with aromatic massage oils. After the scrub, the body is treated with a high-quality cream or lotion to soothe and hydrate the skin. A professional body scrub can only be performed by skilled aestheticians who are licenced and certified to work on the skin and have in-depth knowledge of how different skin types react to different products.  Here are some reasons why body scrubs should be a regular part of your beauty routine:

You don’t have genes of a Greek goddess or a closet full of expensive skincare products to look young and beautiful. If you want skin like J-Lo, Olivia Wilde, Miranda Kerr or any of the celebrities who look airbrushed in reality, you need to have a skin routine. Nothing gives your skin that youthful glow and healthy plumpness than a good night’s sleep. But there’s more to skincare than turning off the lights at 10 every night. Winters may have quit the scene, but the effects of harsh cold and dry winds are still pretty much there on your skin. You don’t want your skin to look scaly, dry, and cracked now, do you? That’s why you need to restore luster to your skin by getting a full body scrub.
