There are several treatments that remove lines and smooth the texture of skin without using needles. These are a few tips for skin treatments without needles.
Mechanical Peel
One method is microdermabrasion which is often called a mechanical peel. It uses a stream of crystals or a diamond tipped tool to remove and suction the first layer of skin from the body. It works well on superficial skin problems like pores, wrinkles, acne scars or sun spots. It is not effective for more serious problems.
Microdermabrasion treatments are performed in a medical setting. Patients generally need between six to twelve sessions to receive the full benefits of the treatment. Treatments may take up to 30 minutes or more. Often doctors use a vacuum type tool that sucks up the dead skin removed in the process. The treatment is supervised by a doctor in their office.
Chemical Peel
Chemical peels range from mild to more invasive. The milder chemical peels remove a layer of skin but are not as effective for removing wrinkles and lines. One form is the glycolic acid peel which is a natural fruit acid that when put on the skin penetrates the first few layers. The Salicylic acid peel is another one that is an acid used in acne treatment. It is left on the skin for 20 to 30 minutes. It does not hurt but takes several sessions to effectively treat the skin. Check with your doctor about more aggressive forms of chemical peels for more serious skin conditions before undertaking treatment.
Laser Resurfacing
Laser resurfacing is an expensive form of skin therapy. N-Light Laser therapy is the mildest form. It is gentle and does not produce pain after treatment. No pain killers are needed when using this form. It is used to minimize fine wrinkles and scars on the skin. This type of laser surgery is not recommended for severe skin conditions. The skin is washed and antibiotics are applied before the procedure. The procedure lasts from 15-90 minutes in the doctor’s office. Improvements are made quickly and no further treatments are allowed until 6 months later. Check with your doctor about more intense forms of laser treatment for serious skin conditions.
Face Masks
Natural face masks like green tea toner are easy to make. Boil water on top of the stove in a kettle or pan. You can also heat water in the microwave. Add ½ cup hot water to the plastic bowl with the green tea bag let steep remove the tea bag. Apply the cooled mixture to your face with a clean cloth. Leave on 20 minutes rinse off with cool water.
