Makeover Your Skin with Microdermabrasion

A procedure that gently sloughs away dead skin, microdermabrasion can make your skin appear younger and feel softer. Microdermabrasion can be performed in your doctor’s office or medical spa, and patients are free to return to their daily activities immediately after the treatment. Learn more about the procedure, how it is performed, and the skin conditions it can correct in the video below.

Microdermabrasion uses tiny crystals to remove dead skin cells and polish the skin to a smooth and healthy glow. The procedure is painless, but patients may experience a pulling sensation as the crystal particles buff the skin. Microdermabrasion can be used to treat fine lines and wrinkles, unusual pigmentation or age spots, and light scarring. Following the procedure, your skin may be slightly pink or red, so be careful to protect sensitive skin from the sun. While you may see and feel an improvement after one treatment, several treatments can lead to dramatically visible results.

Enhance Your Eyelashes with Latisse

Your eyes can be one of the first features others notice about you, and long and healthy eyelashes can make you look and feel your best. If you have short, thin, or not enough eyelashes, talk to your doctor or medical spa about Latisse. A prescription solution that promotes the growth of longer, thicker lashes, Latisse can enhance your eyelashes and your confidence.

What is Latisse?

Latisse is an FDA-approved, topical solution that can treat hypotrichosis, a condition that produces inadequate eyelashes. Available by prescription, Latisse helps patients to grow longer, thicker, and darker lashes, protecting and enhancing the eyes. If you have thin or no eyelashes, talk to your doctor to see if this treatment may be right for you.

How is Latisse Applied?

The Latisse solution is applied to the upper eyelashes only. Following your doctor's instructions, apply Latisse with a brush or another applicator to the base of the upper eyelashes. Some patients may experience a darkening of skin pigment in the areas that come in contact with the solution.

How Does Latisse Work?

The ingredients in Latisse promote the growth of eyelashes by prolonging the hair growth phase and shortening other phases. By giving your eyelashes more time to grow and to grow more often, the result is thicker, fuller, more visible lashes. The treatment also helps to combat hair loss or eyelash thinning.

Does Latisse Have Contraindications?

Latisse cannot and should not be used on the lower eyelashes. If the solution comes in contact with other parts of the skin, either directly or from lash transference, it could also result in hair growth in those areas. Redness, itching eyes or discoloration of the eyelid can occur, but some of these side effects can be reversed.

Non-Invasive Cosmetic Skincare: Resources for Further Reading

Whether caused by genetics, external factors, or simply time, damaged or aging skin can affect both how you look and how you feel. Fortunately, your doctor or medical spa may offer treatments that help to turn back the clock without the need for invasive surgery. From eliminating spider veins to erasing wrinkles, learn more about some of these treatments below.

• Why does your skin start to sag over time? What causes wrinkles to appear? In addition to natural cellular changes, sun exposure and sun damage can also contribute to wrinkles and, in some cases, prematurely age the skin. Read more about the science of aging skin in this skin health guide.
• While spider veins are rarely painful or a sign of a more serious medical condition, they can mar a patient’s skin and confidence. Learn more about sclerotherapy, a treatment to eliminate spider veins, with this WebMD procedure guide.
• If you are considering injectable treatments to rejuvenate your facial appearance, you may be wondering about the differences between Botox and dermal fillers. While one treatment relaxes the muscles to smooth the skin, the other adds volume and contour to the face.
