The constant sun exposure, overwhelming stress, and intrinsic ageing are some of the reasons for wrinkled and saggy skin. Previously dealing with skin conditions such as acne scars, wrinkles, freckles, cellulite, and age spots used to be challenging. However, things have changed completely. Most skin clinics in Epping are offering a variety of skincare treatments to partially or completely eliminate such skin irregularities and help you obtain a youthful, beautiful glow. 

One of the most popular skincare treatments is skin rejuvenation – a non-surgical procedure used to remove the damaged upper layer of the skin and restore its youthful, beautiful complexion. Skin rejuvenation doesn’t require much time and risks associated with those in traditional cosmetic surgery. Considering this treatment can offer multiple benefits for those who want to get rid of skin defects caused by aging, sun exposure, acne scarring, pollution, and other skin conditions. 

In this article, we will go through some of the best benefits of considering skin rejuvenation treatment.

1. Help Reduce Fine Lines and Wrinkles

After the age of 20, the human body produces 1% less collagen every year. By the time we reach menopause there is a 30% decline of collagen and continues to decline by 3% every year. Collagen is responsible for structuring your skin and keeping it tightened. Additionally, it also helps with the regeneration process of your skin. As you age, your existing collagen starts to break and it becomes difficult for your body to produce more. With such a reduction in collagen production, your skin starts to lose its original structure, becomes dry with less fat, resulting in a loose, saggy, and a wrinkled appearance.

Skin rejuvenation treatments encourage the growth of new collagen and skin cells, resulting in a younger, beautiful appearance. The non-surgical treatment targets those which are greatly affected due to aging, sun damage, or other skin conditions and generates collagen to repair them. The growth of collagen and skin cells will help reduce fine lines and wrinkles caused due to aging.

2. Helps Minimise Facial Veins

Facial veins are small red, purple, or blue lines under the surface of your skin that appear on your face. One of the common causes of facial veins is sun exposure. When your skin experiences sun damage, the top layer of skin starts to peel, making the blood vessels under the skin more visible. Facial veins can become prominent as you age and more susceptible to dilating and stretching out due to sun damage, irritants, and several other factors.

Intense pulsed light therapy can treat facial veins. It uses light and heat energy to disintegrate the veins which become scar tissue. Such scar tissues are absorbed by your body with other treatments, resulting in even-toned and clear skin. 

3. Helps Improve Acne Scars

Acne scars appear due to inflammation of acne blemishes and can leave permanent damage to your skin. One of the culprits of such skin irregularities is acne cysts. Acne cysts are large, red, pus-filled boils that can damage your skin tissue and impede collagen production. Sometimes, when such cysts break out, lost collagens are incapable of restoring themselves in the healing area. When your body fails to produce enough collagen it results in the formation of pits or depressions.

At Spa Beautique, our skin specialists suggests a chemical peel or microdermabrasion (methods of scar rejuvenation) to improve light acne scars. For serious scarring, we recommend a series of Venus Fractional RF, Dermafrac and or Microneedling. 

4. Help Diminish Sun Spots

Sunspots or age spots appear on areas of your skin that are exposed to the sunlight. It occurs when your body causes pigmented skin cells to multiply due to sun exposure. Skin rejuvenation treatments can diminish sun spots easily and effectively. Intense pulsed light therapy can help break down these pigments without causing any harm to your surrounding tissues.

 Effects of Stress on Your Skin

1. Dry Skin

Are you feeling itchy, flaky, and irritated? That’s the early sign of stress on your skin! One of the common causes of dry skin is the nonfunctional stratum corneum. The stratum corneum is the outer layer of your skin that contains an adequate amount of protein and lipids. These proteins and lipids play a critical role when it comes to hydrating skin cells. 

Stratum corneum also acts as a barrier and protects the underneath layer of skins from the outside elements. When the stratum corneum doesn’t comply, it results in dry and itchy skin.

But how does stress impact the stratum corneum? Stress can impair the barrier function of your stratum corneum which may negatively affect skin water retention. Stress can also stagnate the skin barrier’s ability to heal itself.

2. Acne

When feeling stressed out, your body produces a generous amount of cortisol hormones. This cortisol can cause the hypothalamus (a part of your brain) to produce a hormone called corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH). CRH stimulates oil release from sebaceous glands that are present around your hair follicles. When an excessive amount of oil is produced, it can clog your pores which lead to acne formation.

3. Rashes

Stress can lead to a poor immune system which leads to an imbalance of bacteria in your gut and skin. This imbalance causes redness or rashes on your skin. Stress is thought to trigger several conditions that lead to rashes or skin inflammation such as psoriasis, eczema, contact dermatitis, etc.

Helpful Tips To Keep Your Mind and Skin Stress-Free

1. Take Care of Your Skin

Ensure that you always maintain a good skincare routine every day. Being stressed makes you feel tired and sluggish. As a result, you may not want to get up and perform the face cleaning job. Yet, try to stick to your daily skincare routine as it will help your skin stay hydrated, fresh, and blemish-free.

2. Maintain Good Physical Health

The key to a stress-free mind and skin is regular exercise and other physical activities. It also releases hormones that can help improve your energy, mental health, and physical strength.

3. Eat Good

Consume a healthy, balanced diet with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. Avoid taking processed and sugar-laden foods items as it triggers body inflammation and causes premature ageing.

4. Take Enough Sleep

Give your body the rest it deserves. Getting enough sleep will offer your body the time to rest and heal. A soundless and good sleep can also help improve your overall mood and energy levels.
