Botox Treatment is More than just Wrinkle Elimination!

We all at some point of time have to deal with the “signs of aging”; which becomes too visible once we cross 40 years mark.

These obvious signs include the fine lines (usually appears when you smile); the laugh lines becomes quite prominent and the very noticeable crow feet – And all these actually make you feel old!

However, unlike the earlier times, fighting with these symptoms of aging is no longer a tough battle! 

The modern medical and cosmetic science has made tremendous progress and hence there are numerous treatments available which can reverse (at a certain extent) of aging.

Botox is one such method that is creating quite a buzz not only among the celebrities, but also among the non-celebrity populace.  It is perceived as one of the easiest and cost-effective methods to deal with the wrinkles and other fine lines. 

Here we will see what benefits one gets with Botox at Virginia Beach Treatment and how it can help one to restore the youthful and fresh look!

·         Look Young without going under the Knife!

Well, definitely a good news for those, who hate going under the knife! 

This treatment is simply a process of injecting Botox into the tiny muscle around the problem areas.  All the dynamic wrinkle lines disappear and that too without undergoing any discomforting surgical processes.

In fact, the treatment itself causes very little discomfort. (Hence it performed without any anesthesia). Moreover, one can begin their routine almost immediately after taking the Botox.  Hence, it is one of the simplest and convenient way. 

·                     No more Cross-Eyes!

Apart from reducing the wrinkles from the face; it also helps in correction of the cross-eye. Other than the cross-eye it is been noticed that it helps in problems like blurred vision (diplopa) and eyelid spasms (blepharospasm). Primarily; it assists in relaxing the eye muscles, so that they don’t work against each other eventually resulting into healing the muscles.

·                     Treats Migraine

Sounds little unconvincing; but it is been seen that those who go for Botox report less or no migraine headaches at all. It is believed that when Botox is injected into the forehead, neck or shoulder, it releases strain in the muscles, thus relaxing the tension on the nervous system; resulting into reduced occurrence of migraines headache.

·                     Fight Sweats

Sweating profusely can become an embarrassment especially when you are in a social gathering. Believe it or not this problem of excessive sweat can be treated with Botox.  It is speculated that the drug effectively stops sweating as it inhibits the chemical acetycholine. This chemical stimulates the glands which produced sweat.

Make your dream of having healthy skin a reality with Chemical Peels!

Medical sector is going through a very progressive phase; especially there is incredible progress in the field of cosmetic and dermatology!

In fact, there are number of treatments which help the aging process slow down and keep it at bay. It helps one to retrieve the youthful as well as a fresh look. Among all the treatments and methods, Chemical peeling is creating flutters, not only among the models and actors, but also among the common people, unrelated to the glamour world.

Virginia Surgical Arts is one of the leading providers of medical grade chemical peels in the Hampton Roads area.  Currently Virginia Surgical Arts features 3 signature peels:  Skin Medica Vitalize Peel, Skin Medica Rejuvenize Peel, and Vivite Glycolic Peel.

The most popular peel in the country, Skin Medica’s Vitalize Peel is a solution that contains a unique blend of alpha-hydroxy acids, beta-hydroxy acids, resorcinol, and .03% retinoic acid. 

It is believed that this peel is highly effective at treating photo-damaged & aging skin. It significantly improves the skin clarity, tone and texture; without any side-effects.  Hence, this peel is safe to use on the face, chest, back, and hands. 

The next step of aggressiveness is Skin Medica’s Rejuvenize Peel.  It is Skin Medica’s strongest peel with a built-in anti-irritant and penetration enhancer that provides controlled exfoliation of the uppermost damaged layer of the skin.

Moreover, since, the peel has an anti-irritant agent; it does not harm the skin. In fact, this peel will leave the patient with a fresher and healthier skin with minimal down time. 

Moreover, it is more effective at treating hyperpigmentation, acne, acne scarring, fine lines, skin texture and tone.  In addition to this, a series of peels is recommended for optimal results when dealing with significant acne scarred skin.

Another option for chemical peels is the Vivite Glycolic peel.  This peel is ideal for those who are first-timers and have undergone this treatment before. It is more beneficial and useful for those who have never had a professional exfoliation service. 

In addition to this, it is also an excellent choice for patients with acne and sensitive skin.  Since, the Vivite peel penetrates the pores, its effect on an oily or acne prone skin is just remarkable.  The end result of this treatment comes out in form of skin that is less congested and smoother.  This peel offers great results, but like any other peel, a series is recommended for optimal results.

If you are interested in receiving a chemical peel and rejuvenate your face with a younger and healthier look, I strongly encourage you to come to Virginia Surgical Arts for a complimentary consultation. 

It is to be noted that the peels vary in levels of aggressiveness, from no peeling to approximately 5 days of downtime. 

There are peels suitable for every person; condition and texture of the skin at hand as well as their lifestyles.  Allow us the opportunity to join you on your quest for healthier, more beautiful skin!

Microdermabrasion vs Chemical Peels: Which is a better Option?

Youthful, glowing and a beautiful face is every woman’s dream! 

Since, ages, women have been creating a number of methods to just to look beautiful. Right from the ancient Romans to the modern day woman; ladies have been trying their hands on different methods to attain a pretty, attractive and lustrous face.

With a tremendous progress in the field of medicine and cosmetic surgery; more such beauty treatments are added to the list.

Since, the list of beauty and anti-aging treatments is getting longer; many women find themselves in dilemma as which treatments would suit them the best.

One such confusion that often takes hold of a woman’s mind is which one is better – 

Microdermabrasion or Chemical Peels?

The general question which arises is “What is the basic difference between a microdermabrasion and a chemical peel?” or, “Which one will prove to be more effective?”

To put Microdermabrasion Virginia Beach in simple terms; it is an exfoliation method wherein the dead skin is removed PHYSICALLY; while the same process is done CHEMICALLY in chemical peel.

If we talk about a major difference in these methods; Chemical Peel usually requires some downtime; since our needs a few days to adapt to the chemicals, the actual peeling doesn’t occur until 48 hours after you have gone through the process.

On other hand, the downtime in Microdermabrasion is relatively low – Since, the exfoliation is done physically, the skin does not have to adapt to any external agents. The peeling starts showing off almost in no time.

Talking about Microdermabrasion; there are two forms which are widely used – It is either done by diamond or by using crystal as tip to exfoliate the dead skins.

Very refined crystals are used to peel off the dead cells in what is called a “sandblasting” fashion, this way the dead cells are sloughed off.  And when you opt for the Diamond form; the dead skin is peeled off using an abrasive tip (which is more like using a sandpaper sort of surface). This leaves a vacuum and eventually all the impurities are collected; thus leaving a fresh and bright skin.

Here, one thing needs to be noted; both microdermabrasion and Chemical Peel vary in its degree of aggressiveness based on the methods and material used. However, in certain conditions, you will see that Chemical Peel is more effective and safe. For example, when a patient is having broken capillaries, using diamond or crystal abrasions can damage the skin more. Here, only Chemical use can be helpful.

Similarly, when a person with very asymmetrical texture of skin or with acne ridden face are usually administered micro-dermabrasion to avoid any complications or skin irritations. 

Both these methods have their own degrees of effectiveness, they can be used; but only when you have consulted a good dermatologist.
