The essence of many medical beauty projects is to “breaking before establishing”, by causing reversible damage to skin tissue, activate skin tissue repair and regeneration, so as to achieve the purpose of rejuvenation. infammatory pigmentaion may occur during this process.
Therefore, “winter is suitable for medical beauty” is mainly from the perspective of postoperative care. Postoperative care and repair after medical beauty projects are very important, which can be said to be 30% treatment and 70% repair.
First, the weather turns cooler and the intensity of ultraviolet rays gradually decreases, which means that the risk of postoperative darkening is greatly reduced. Photoelectric projects such as photorejuvenation and picosecond can achieve better results in this season, and recovery is also easier.
Secondly, the temperature is lower in winter, the secretion of sebaceous glands and sweat glands of the skin is reduced, and the skin is relatively in a more stable state, which is more conducive to recovery and repair after medical beauty projects.
Which projects are suitable for alleviating skin problems in winter?
The main treatments suitable for alleviating skin problems in winter are: RF microneedling, Fractional co2 laser, Intense pulsed light. Let’s learn about these treatments together.
RF microneedling
The working principle of microneedles is to introduce high-energy radio frequency energy through microneedles and act on target tissues at different depths. At the same time, the instrument also has the function of negative pressure adsorption, so that each needle insertion can act on the skin depth safely and accurately.
The length of the RF microneedling can be adjusted according to different parts of the face. According to the skin problem you need to solve, the length of the needle is released to reach different skin depths, and different effects are achieved accordingly. The adjustable microneedle length also ensures the accuracy of the treatment.
RF microneedling have a more comprehensive effect, including deep hydration, strengthening the skin’s ability to lock in moisture, brightening the skin tone, reducing pigmentation, shrinking pores, and fading fine lines.
RF microneedling have better effects on firming, anti-aging, and acne removal. RF microneedling are generally not used with nutrient solution, but they emit radio frequency energy, which can better stimulate collagen regeneration and enhance anti-aging effects. In addition, radio frequency can destroy sebaceous glands, improve the condition of oily skin, and inhibit the development of acne.
Fractional co2 laser
Fractional CO2 laser is a relatively new medical optical skin beauty method. It changes the light emission mode and is a minimally invasive treatment between invasive and non-invasive.
The principle is to use laser to evenly make tiny holes on the skin, which can directly penetrate into the dermis and form three areas of thermal peeling, thermal coagulation, and thermal effect in the skin layer; thereby starting a series of skin reactions such as tissue repair, stimulating skin collagen regeneration, collagen rearrangement, etc., to achieve the purpose of skin reconstruction.
Fractional CO2 laser can decompose subcutaneous pigments and spots, and improve wrinkles, large pores, scars, and stretch marks on the skin, making the skin smoother and more delicate. Fractional CO2 laser penetrates deep into the skin through a specific wavelength, which can crush the subcutaneous pigments and then excrete them through the body’s metabolism. It can also promote the regeneration of collagen and fibrous tissue, and improve various skin problems.
Intense pulsed light
Intense pulsed light is a kind of strong light emitted in a pulsed manner. It is a non-laser light source with polychromaticity, incoherence and non-parallelism. Its light source is an inert gas (usually xenon) flash lamp. The strong light emitted is concentrated and initially filtered, and the final wavelength is generally 400~1200nm.
The theoretical basis of intense pulsed light treatment of skin diseases is the principle of selective photothermal action. Because IPL is a wide spectrum, it can cover a variety of target color bases, such as melanin, oxyhemoglobin, water and other absorption peaks.
So, what are the effects of intense pulsed light?
- Whitening and lightening: Intense pulsed light can destroy melanocytes, reduce melanin production, and stimulate collagen regeneration to achieve the effect of whitening and lightening.
- Remove red blood streaks: Intense pulsed light can constrict blood vessels, reduce the appearance of red blood streaks, and stimulate collagen regeneration to enhance skin elasticity and thickness to achieve the effect of removing red blood streaks.
- Firming skin: Intense pulsed light can stimulate collagen regeneration, enhance skin elasticity and thickness to achieve the effect of firming skin.
- Shrinking pores: Intense pulsed light can destroy hair follicles, reduce oil secretion, and promote stratum corneum metabolism to achieve the effect of shrinking pores.
- Relieve acne: Intense pulsed light can inhibit the growth of Propionibacterium acnes, improve problems such as hair follicle obstruction and acne, and promote the repair of damaged tissues to relieve acne inflammation.
- Hair removal: Intense pulsed light can destroy hair follicles, reduce hair growth, and achieve the effect of hair removal.
At this point, I would like to give you some basic knowledge about the concept of beauty medical aesthetics.
Beauty medical aesthetics is a series of treatments that use medical means, including drugs, instruments, and surgery, to change the external shape and color of the human body, partially improve its physiological functions, and enhance the body’s external beauty.
The fundamental difference between medical aesthetics and daily beauty is that any cosmetic treatment that involves certain trauma must fall within the scope of medical aesthetics. In China, medical aesthetics must be carried out in formal medical institutions.
How to take care of yourself after surgery？
1.After surgery,apply cold compresses to alleviate redness and pain.
2.Actively repair the skin barrier after surgery and stop using irritating skin care products.
3.In the case of skin-breaking items, strict attention should be paid to avoid infection.
- After surgery, pay attention to regular restand eat more foods rich in vitamin A,vitaminB,and vitamin C
5.Strict physical sun protection should be carried out after surgery
Dermatologic skin care
If you want to achieve good skin effects, you should also pay attention to daily skin care while doing the project. Next, let’s listen to the dermatologist’s winter skin care suggestions to help everyone keep their skin healthy and vibrant in this season.
The basic principles of winter skin care include cleansing, moisturizing and sun protection.
Cleansing
It is recommended to use mild and non-irritating cleansing products, such as cleansing foam containing amino acids, and wash your face with warm water, avoiding hot water washing and excessive cleaning; of course, it is not okay not to clean because of fear of cold, as it can easily lead to blocked pores and cause acne and folliculitis. According to your own situation, arrange the number of bathing times reasonably. If the bathing frequency is once a day or every other day, the recommended temperature is 32℃-37℃, the time is 5 to 10 minutes, and low-sensitivity and non-irritating cleansing products are used. The pH value should be close to the normal epidermal pH value (about 6). Dry skin can appropriately reduce the frequency of bathing, and apply a large amount of moisturizing products within 3 minutes after bathing to repair the skin barrier. Try to avoid using bathing products and scrubbing products with too strong cleaning power. The skin keratin metabolism cycle is about 28 days. Excessive cleaning and frequent scrubbing will cause damage to the stratum corneum and weaken the skin barrier function.
Moisturizing
After cleansing or bathing, it is recommended to use skin care water and moisturizing cream containing moisturizing ingredients, gently press and pat to promote absorption, and avoid excessive rubbing and massage. For those with dry skin, you can choose a moisturizing cream with a moisturizing texture (oil-in-water type); for those with oily skin, you can choose a refreshing moisturizing lotion (water-in-oil type).
Sun protection
Even in winter, ultraviolet rays still exist, so after moisturizing, you need to apply a light and breathable sunscreen to protect your skin from ultraviolet rays.
In addition, you should also pay attention to keeping warm, diet conditioning and regular work and rest, and eat more foods rich in vitamins and antioxidants, such as fruits and vegetables, which are helpful for skin nutrition and health and anti-oxidation. Nighttime sleep is a good time to restore the skin’s immune function. Get enough sleep and avoid staying up late to fully repair and regenerate the skin.
