Skin is the largest organ of our body. It protects our body from outside weather, helps control our body temperature, protects us against infections and is a part of body’s immune system. As it is the outermost part of our body and is in direct contact to environment, and so gets very easily affected by the climatic conditions, pollutants and others factors in environment. Many of us are not aware of day to day tortures faced by our skin and the first aid required for it. Time is changing and one should know how to keep our skin healthy.
Below are some skin conditions and their remedies:
- Fine lines and open pores:
These are very common skin conditions. Many common environmental factors affects skin and bring about several problems. Fine lines and sagging can also be a result of ageing. Alpha hydroxy acid peels is one of the most effective and trusted treatment to go with, to treat them medically.
- Acne: Sebaceous glands secret oil and maintain oil level of skin. Sometimes during hormonal changes , Sebaceous glands disorder takes place which gives rise to abnormal production of oil. This excessive oil clog skin pores and makes closed plug formation i.e acne or pimples. Combination of alpha and beta hydroxy acid peels does well for treating acne and skin oiliness.
- Acne scars: If acnes go worse, they brings acnes scars along. The age groups of 16 to 30 years are mostly affected by acne and acne scars. With age , oiliness of skin goes on decreasing and so acne and related conditions also minimise. Some exfoliation treatments like Microdermabrasion sessions along with alpha hydroxy acid peels is the best solution to go with.
- Pigmentation: Abnormal deposition of melanin ( pigment) over skin is known as pigmentation. Some people call it as tanning. But it differs from pigmentation as tanning is only superficial. And if left untreated can spread or increases and becomes pigmentation which is deeper. Alpha hydroxy acid peels along with photofacials or photorejuvenation sessions improves the condition.
- Skin sagging: There is very natural ongoing activity ,exfolliation taking place in our skin i.e upper layer or cells of skin naturally sheds off and the next succeeding layers comes up or in other terms the old cells are replaced by new cells. This process occurs very naturally and quietly that can not be noticed easily. But during skin aging, the process slows down , and skin starts sagging. Many people do facial exercises to get some firmness. Multiple sessions of radio-frequency give a significant result ,required it is given post care maintenance.
- Moles and warts: They can be genetically or congenital. But the harm is when they are acquired. Some moles and warts can be contagious or the result of regular sun exposure and they need medical treatment. HPV i.e Human papilloma virus causes these contagious warts and those should not be left untreated. Radio-frequency or laser treatments eliminate them . But if you notice any recurrence , get it removed immediately as there may be chances of its spreading.
