Why are professional treatments more beneficial than at-home skincare routines? Let us help you answer this very important question that affects men and women of all ages.
Fact: most people are not addressing their skincare issues in the most effective or safe way. It’s easy to do with so many products on the market and confusion over skin types and conditions. As well, too many people take improper advice from non-professionals on YouTube and TikTok.
Why Have a Professional Skin Assessment?
The best way to clear away your confusion and get results that make a difference is to have a professional skin assessment. A skin analysis can determine:
- The actual condition of your skin (i.e., level of skin damage, skin quality)
- What skin issues you need to address immediately and long-term
- Skin treatments you should invest in to reach your beauty goals
Here are common skincare concerns that are best addressed with professional care and evaluation.
- Aging skin: fine lines, wrinkles, dull or rough skin
- Pigmentation: sun damage, uneven skin tone, dark patches
- Poor skin texture: dry or bumpy skin, decreased elasticity, large pores
- Acne: whiteheads, blackheads, pimples, oily skin, scars
A popular tool for assessing these concerns is Visia Digital Skin Analysis which provides a scientific, multi-dimensional portrait of your skin at and below the surface. The data gathered during this type of skin assessment will allow you to make smart choices about available skincare treatments (e.g., anti-aging, resurfacing, depigmentation, acne therapy…). Este Medical Group New York offers Visia Digital Skin Analysis at its Long Island clinic — contact an Este skincare expert through our website to find out more.
Skin-Safe Treatments That Get Results!
People seem to forget how delicate their skin actually is; it is prone to damage from the sun, bacteria, harsh or low-quality beauty products, as well as inefficient skin cleansing or protection, and bad habits like pimple-popping.
Depending on your skin issues, a professional skin assessment and feedback from a skincare expert will get you on the right path to having healthier, younger, and brighter looking skin again.
Here are four professional treatments that address the most universal skincare concerns (e.g., acne, pigmentation, aging, skin texture and appearance).
- Chemical Peel Treatment
- Microneedling Treatment
- Pigmentation Treatment
- Acne and Acne Scarring Treatment
Professional Care For Aging Skin
As we get older, renewing the top layer of skin and boosting collagen and elastin is vital to younger, fresher looking skin. Deep exfoliation is key to renewing skin cells and boosting skin volume, and the best way to do that is with professional chemical peels and microneedling.
Chemical peels
A safe treatment (most often applied to the face and neck and sometimes the hands) that remove the old, damaged layer of top skin and stimulate healthy new skin cell growth. Typically chemical peels have three different depths: light, medium, and deep — an Este Skin Assessment will determine the most appropriate chemical peel and level of depth for you. A professional peel can address a multitude of skin issues at once, which makes it an ideal anti-aging skincare treatment.
Chemical peel benefits include:
- Diminish fine lines and wrinkles
- Improve the look of skin folds
- Refine skin texture, smoother skin
- Correct UV and sun damage
Microneedling
A micro-stimulation treatment that will enhance your complexion and improve your skin condition at a deeper level in the dermis. The treatment is also known as collagen induction therapy, and can be administered to any part of the body. It’s excellent for anti-aging because it helps to boost collagen and elastin production beneath the skin’s surface, resulting in restored skin elasticity and skin volume.
Microneedling benefits include:
- Stronger skin, better skin elasticity
- Plumper, younger looking skin
- Diminish fine lines and wrinkles
- Improve look of skin folds, stretch marks, acne scars
Expert Depigmentation
Skin discoloration (i.e., dark patches, age spots, uneven skin color) is a condition best treated by professionals. Over-the-counter (or homemade) depigmentation products are a risk, as the ingredients may not be FDA approved, or too harsh for the skin (e.g., may cause burning, dryness, blisters…). Two of the best ways to professionally treat hyperpigmentation and melasma are with a cosmelan peel and/or laser treatment.
Cosmelan peel
A cosmelan peel uses skin-safe ingredients such as azelaic and kojic acid to even out skin tone and brighten the skin. They target the cells that give skin its pigment, helping to inhibit melanin production. Benefits include the reduction or elimination of dark patches, age spots, and blotchy skin.
Laser for depigmentation
Laser treatment for hyperpigmentation and melasma is safe and effective on the face and body. For example, at Este Medical Group New York we use the Harmony XL Pro Laser to break up excessive melanin pigment in the skin cells which helps to reduce and even eliminate hyperpigmentation and age spots. As a result, uneven skin color will improve and look brighter.
Specialized Acne Treatment
The best and only way you should be treating acne and acne scars is under the care of a skincare expert at a professional clinic. There are exceptional solutions available to defeat acne once and for all, they include: HydraFacial, skin tightening, chemical peel, microneedling, and dermal fillers. The first step to determine the most beneficial acne treatment is to have an Este New York Skin Assessment.
