BEAUTIFUL SKIN WITH TECHNOLOGY

But what if you don’t want surgery? What if you don’t want botox and fillers? What’s available to address the signs of aging with no downtime?

Skin technology is the answer. Skin technology is the broad term used to describe a range of aesthetic equipment operated by therapists in the beauty, spa and medical industries to address common skin issues such as lines, wrinkles, pigmentation, sun damage, skin tone, skin texture, acne, scarring and skin elasticity.

Let’s look at the top 5 skin technology treatments that are the best non-surgical alternatives to botox and fillers. Plus the great news is they’re already available right now in many salons and clinics across the country!

1. IPL (Intense Pulsed Light).
   IPL uses broad-spectrum light technology to target cells at different depths in the skin. This can make a variety of skin changes including the reduction of lines and wrinkles, fading and removal of pigmentation (brown spots), reducing the severity of acne outbreaks and giving the skin an overall more youthful appearance and glow. As an added bonus, IPL is a very effective Hair Reduction treatment, able to treat multiple areas of the body.


2. LASER.
   Laser is also a light technology but is generally stronger than IPL in its application. Laser can more specifically target hard to treat skin concerns like pigmentation, spider veins and capillaries with higher accuracy in a shorter timeframe. Laser, like IPL is also an amazing method of permanent hair reduction on all areas of the body.


3. MICRODERMABRASION.
   A superior exfoliating treatment with added anti-aging benefits. Microdermabrasion leaves the skin feeling beautifully smooth and soft. It’s fantastic for reducing skin congestion (important for acne issues) and also stimulates skin cells to produce more collagen and elastin giving your skin a refreshed, younger look.


4. LED PHOTOTHERAPY.
   Not many people are aware of this amazing technology, it’s another light technology but much more gentle than IPL or Laser. LED Phototherapy can stimulate an increase in the production of collagen and elastin, reduce skin redness and can even help eliminate the p.acne bacteria, therefore reducing the severity of acne outbreaks.


5. DERMAL NEEDLING.
   The newest comer to the skin technology arsenal. Tiny needles puncture the skin causing a micro injury and stimulate the skin’s healing processes along with encouraging the production of collagen and elastin. The overall result being younger looking skin and correcting a wide range of skin issues including pigmentation and sun damage.

There are many more skin technologies available but these are the most popular 5 you’ll see in your local salon or clinic. Whilst skin technology can do amazing things for your skin, it’s also important to support your treatments with good quality skin care. Talk to your therapist about the best product options to support your treatments and give you even better skin results.

If you have lines and wrinkles, pigmentation, sun damage, dull lack-lustre skin, poor skin texture, uneven skin tone, congested skin, acne and/or scarring, then skin technology is definitely worth looking into. It’s non-surgical, generally non-invasive, affordable and gets results for your skin. Contact your local salon or clinic to discuss the best skin technology options for your specific skin concerns.
