Women have tried many things over the years to appear younger looking than the really are. No one wants to age or at least look like the are. One of the best compliments you can give a woman is to guess that she is much younger than she actually is. She’ll love you forever if you can knock a good few years off of her. This is why chemical peels and laser hair removal and microdermabrasion and even Botox have become so popular in the recent years. As each treatment becomes more affordable to the general public, people are investing more in their looks and in the effort to look better and younger. However, before you try anything you should always find out all the information can about it. For example, you should know the answer to “what is Botox?” before you undergo the actual procedure. The same goes for other ‘wrinkle releasing’ products. Let’s look at a few things that you should know about these forever young procedures.
What is Botox?
You may have heard about Botox but are wondering what is Botox exactly? Simply put, it is a medication is that injected into skin that paralyses the muscles for a time. This is how the wrinkles are erased. The muscles that is causing the skin to tighten and produce lines and wrinkles are injected with Botox and this causes them to relax and smooth out the skin. The effect will last for three or four months before you need to get it done again. Keep in mind, that the more you do it, the more those muscles will get used to relaxing and being paralyzed that the effect may last for longer and longer each time.
What is a Chemical Peel?
This treatment feels more like a facial than a procedure or a treatment for anything. What a chemical does ultimately, is improve the look of the skin that is on your face, neck or hands. The technician will apply a chemical solution to your skin. The solution will feel like it is exfoliating your skin. It is not to be washed off as it will eventually peel off. The skin that is revealed underneath is typically much smoother than the old skin and contains far fewer wrinkles. Regular chemical peels can reduce the look of wrinkles all together.
What is Microdermabrasion?
This type of treatment also helps to reduce or get rid of wrinkles and lines in the face. Crow’s feet around the eyes are particularly targeted as well as age spots, acne scars or blemishes in the face that cause the skin to be unevenly colored. It is a chemical free, non invasive treatment which involves spraying microcrystals on to the skin. These microcrystals remove the outer layer of dead skin cells on your face in order to uncover the younger and healthier skin underneath. It can also promote the production of collagen and elastin which helps our skin to look and feel much younger.
What is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is becoming more and more popular as it becomes more affordable to the general public. The treatment involves using an intense and pulsating laser in order to remove hair from the body. The laser pinpoints the actual hair follicle and literally burns off that particular follicle rendering it unable to grow hair anymore. It is almost impossible to get every single hair follicle in one treatment or even two, sometimes you may need up to six or 12 treatments depending on the area of the body that is having the hair removed. It is a fairly painful procedure but once the treatments are over, you probably won’t ever have to worry about shaving, waxing or more treatments again for a very long time.
Knowing ‘what is Botox?’ or ‘what is fill-in-blank-procedure’ is very important before jumping into some kind of treatment. You should always be fully informed as to what you are about to do to your body before you do it. Do you own research, speak with professionals and speak with people that have had it done before in order to get a well rounded idea of the treatment itself as well as any side effects that may occur.
