How Facial Exfoliation Can Help Your Skin

If you were to look at the basic steps that experts recommend an individual to take when caring for their skin, you would see exfoliation on the list. Why is this important? Here are a few of the ways that facial exfoliation can help your skin.

The Benefits of Exfoliation

The skin has a natural process that it uses to shed dead skin cells. Unfortunately, this process does not always work as quick as we would like. This means that your face can have layers of skin that are old and damaged. The dirt and debris in the skin can actually halt this natural process to shed the skin. When regular exfoliation is done, that shedding process is hurried along and provides a wide variety of benefits to the skin. It helps it to work in a more natural way. It will draw out whiteheads and blackheads, which will give your skin a smooth and attractive appearance.

Facial exfoliation is necessary if you want to prevent blemishes. These treatments will draw out congestion and help the skin to heal. Since oil, bacteria, and dead skin cells are removed, new breakouts are less likely. It is good to keep in mind that over exfoliating the skin can actually make your blemishes worse and cause irritation. It is good to exfoliate your skin with a gentle treatment at home just a couple of times a week. It is beneficial to have a professional treatment performed about once a month, depending on the treatment.

With regular treatments, your skin tone is going to even out. You will also notice that the texture of your skin improves. If you are looking to improve acne, sun damage, hyperpigmentation, and a wide variety of other skin issues, facial exfoliation is a must. It is also important when fighting the aging process.

Slim Your Figure with CoolSculpting

The beauty of your body is that it is not just like everyone else’s. However, you may still not be happy with certain curves that you have tried to tame over the years. Some simply do not respond well to even the best efforts to exercise or diet them away with reduced calories. This could be due to your body type, your genetics, your food choices, or other lifestyle options. No matter why you have certain pockets of stubborn fat, you could get rid of them forever with CoolSculpting®.

What is CoolSculpting®?

CoolSculpting® uses a science-based and well-researched process known as cryolipolysis. This name refers to a destruction of fat cells by very cold temperatures. While many other non-invasive body sculpting procedures rely on heat or a variety of types of radiation, CoolSculpting® is unique in that it relies on cold. Fat cells cannot take very cold temperatures. Therefore, while your other surrounding tissues, including your skin and blood vessels, can take the very cold temperatures, your fat cells will by crystallized and destroyed.

Once your fat cells are destroyed and removed from your body, your body cannot make new fat cells. Therefore, as long as you care for your body following your treatment, such as by eating healthfully and exercising regularly, you should be able to maintain your great results easily.

What Happens at a CoolSculpting® Appointment?

CoolSculpting® is a completely non-invasive treatment that takes up only a little bit of your time to provide great results. During your treatment, you will be awake and comfortable once your skin is naturally numbed from the cold temperatures. After the treatment, you can immediately go back to your regular activities with no worries about a recovery period.

The Simplicity of a Pap Smear

Although a Pap smear isn’t necessary a test you look forward to, it’s an important test as it can detect various cancers and other issues are related to the reproductive system. Most doctors perform the test in order to look for cervical cancer. However, it’s also performed to ensure that your cervix is healthy and to examine your uterus. When you have the test done, the medical professional will gently scrape cells from your cervix to send to a lab to be examined. This is a test that is performed in the office, and you don’t need anyone to take you home because you’re not sedated.


Who Gets the Test Done?

Young women can benefit from a Pap smear when they first begin their menstrual cycle. The doctor can examine the cervix and other parts of the reproductive system to ensure that the cycle is normal and that there are no health issues that could lead to an abnormal period each month or that would lead to future issues with the menstrual cycle. If you’re pregnant, then you should expect to have this test done in the early stages of your pregnancy so that the doctor can make sure your cervix and uterus are healthy for carrying the baby and to ensure that there are no diseases that could be spread from the birth canal to your baby during delivery.

If you have had any kind of sexually transmitted disease or if there have been any indications as to cancer of the reproductive system,  you will likely have routine Pap smears. You should also have a Pap smear if you are HIV-positive or if your immune system is compromised by any other illness. After about the age of 20, you should have a Pap test to determine if you have HPV. While visiting with our team, you will learn about ways to prevent the disease as HPV can cause cervical cancer.

Who is a Candidate for Vaginal Rejuvenation?

Vaginal rejuvenation is a treatment that can improve lubrication in the vagina, reduce irritation, and make the vaginal walls feel tighter. It may also be helpful for women who experience urinary incontinence due to irritation of the urethra caused by vaginal dryness. There are multiple treatment options for vaginal rejuvenation. If you are suffering from vaginal dryness, irritation, a lack of sensitivity during sexual intimacy, and vaginal laxity, this treatment could be the right choice for you.

Why Consider Vaginal Rejuvenation?

Many women experience vaginal discomfort, especially after they have had children. If you are experiencing a feeling of looseness or you feel like your vagina never snapped back to the way it used to be before childbirth, vaginal rejuvenation can help you to feel like yourself again. As you get older, it is natural for your body’s collagen production to go down. This can lead to loose skin and tissue. It can interfere with your pleasure when you are with your partner.

The treatments we offer can help. Consider vaginal rejuvenation if you are going through menopause. As your hormone levels drop at this crucial moment in a woman’s life, it can make you feel like your body is not your own anymore. Dryness, a burning sensation, and urinary leaks are common at this stage in life. Vaginal rejuvenation can help you to feel better.

How Do You Know if it’s Right for You?

Don’t play a guessing game with your health. There is always a chance that an underlying condition is causing your vaginal discomfort. You need to be open and honest when you sit down with our team at Allure Laser & Med Spa in Tinley Park, IL. Contact us today to book your appointment and get all the facts about our vaginal rejuvenation treatments!
