To maintain the health and beauty of facial skin, you can perform various treatments at a beauty clinic. Here, you can find many types of treatments that suit your skin’s needs, from microdermabrasion, chemical peels, botox and filler injections, to laser therapy.
Various types of facial treatments at beauty clinics have different ways of working, functions and purposes as well as their own side effects. In addition, the type of skin care performed will also be adjusted to the facial skin condition of each patient.
Therefore, before deciding to undergo aesthetic treatment at a beauty clinic, you need to know in advance about the type of procedure, its benefits and risks.
Choices and Risks of Facial Treatment at Beauty Clinics
Here are several treatment options at the beauty clinic and their risks that you need to understand:
Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a facial treatment procedure that is performed by exfoliating skin tissue using a special tool, so that dead facial skin cells are removed. This method also aims to stimulate the formation of new and healthy facial skin tissue.
Microdermabrasion is generally performed to treat several skin problems, such as wrinkles, dull skin, scars, and black spots or spots due to aging.
The microdermabrasion procedure usually takes around 20-30 minutes. To get maximum results, you may need to do this treatment several times, according to doctor’s advice.
Chemical peeling
This treatment can be done to address the problem of skin discoloration or uneven facial skin tone, for example black spots or patches on the skin. In addition, chemical peels can also be done to help treat acne.
This procedure is performed using a sponge and a special chemical to stimulate exfoliation. Thus, dead skin cells, dust, and excess oil on the face can be lifted. Chemical peels can also be done to stimulate the formation of new, healthy facial skin tissue.
While the results are promising, there are risks you should be aware of. This treatment can make the skin dry, irritated, reddish, and feel sore. In certain cases, chemical peels can also cause permanent discoloration of facial skin and the formation of scars.
Dermal fillers
Dermal filler is a facial treatment procedure that is performed by injecting special fluids (fillers) into certain parts of the face. This procedure is generally done to get rid of acne scars and wrinkles, make the nose look more sharp, and make the lips and cheeks look thicker and blusher.
In the process, the doctor will inject filler material into the patient’s face and perform a gentle massage. This treatment can take around 30 minutes to 1 hour.
For 1 day after treatment, the area affected by the filler may appear swollen and red, but generally the condition will improve on its own after a few days.
After getting filler injections, you are advised to avoid sun exposure, not consume alcoholic beverages and coffee, and clean your face gently.
Botox injections
Botox injections are one of the most common aesthetic procedures performed to tighten the skin and get rid of wrinkles. Botox or botulinum toxin is a drug made from the Clostridium botulinum bacterium.
Botox works by blocking signals from the nerves to the muscles, so that the muscles will temporarily weaken and make wrinkles in the skin at the injection site decrease or even disappear. The effectiveness of Botox injections can last up to about 3-6 months.
Even though it is quite effective in dealing with skin problems, botox injections can also cause some side effects, such as pain, swelling or bruising at the injection site, difficulty moving your face, and headaches.
Laser resurfacing
Laser resurfacing is a skin care procedure that aims to help reduce wrinkles, age spots, and acne scars. This procedure is performed using 2 methods, namely with ablative and non-ablative lasers.
Ablative lasers remove the outer layer of skin (epidermis) and heat the lower skin (dermis) to stimulate the formation of new collagen. Meanwhile, non-ablative lasers are performed without removing the top layer of skin to stimulate collagen growth.
Both ablative and non-ablative lasers still have a risk of side effects, such as discoloration of the skin that becomes darker or reddish, swelling, and itching in the area affected by the laser.
Facial treatment procedures at beauty clinics are indeed effective in overcoming various complaints on facial skin. However, you also still need to consider the various risks of side effects that can arise and the costs of treatment that need to be incurred.
Therefore, if you want to do skin and body treatments at a beauty clinic, you should consult with a dermatologist or beauty doctor first. Therefore, doctor will recommend a treatment that suits your needs.
