Body areas to improve

Having a glowing and radiant skin is the desire of many people, and for that they have a complete skincare routine, but most people don’t know that the first step to have a perfect skin is balance the skin tone.

The skin tone is determined by the amount of melanin (pigment that determines the skin color) that a person has in his/her skin; if a person has greater amount of melanin his/her skin will be darker. When a person goes out in the sun, his/her skin produces more melanin (it also protects the skin from the sun’s radiation). Even age spots are just melanin accumulation.

Nowadays there are numerous types of skin brightening products on the market that offer give to the person a smoother and brighter skin. Some of them are an all-over lotion while others are spot treatments. The price range of these products can also vary greatly, and they go from over-the-counter drugstore applications to prescription-only treatments. So before consider choosing one of them is recommended that the patient visits a plastic surgeon or dermatologist because they know the best skin brightening creams for each type of skin.

Good skin brightening products have the ability to make the skin on face, neck, and hands lighter, thus help to remove the appearance of some skin problems. Likewise, they are used to reduce the appearance of age spots and to give the skin a more youthful and dewy appearance.

However, in patients with extensive sun damage, blemishes, or scars, a cream may not be the best solution. In those cases may be required use more specific methods like laser-based skin lightening.

How Do Skin Brightening Creams Work?

In general terms, a skin brightening cream works by inhibiting the production of melanin in skin cells, so using these creams, the amount of melanin will become reduced, and the skin will look lighter. This occurs in the same way that a tan eventually fades. However, each product has its own mechanism of action that will be explained later.

So, skin brightening creams don’t achieve their results by adding nourishing ingredients, if not, by inhibiting natural pigment production, which can have more serious side effects. Also, these treatments are not a cure-all and the results take time. In most instances, a person will need to use the product for several weeks before obtaining results.

What should the patient do before applying a skin brightener?

When a person will use a skin brightener, the patient should talk with his/her doctor about the risks in each specific situation. The doctor will select the most appropriate cream for each patient, with the right concentration of all the components and without toxins.

The patient can talk to his/her doctor about the efficacy and safety of the different creams, they can work together to find the best skin brightening cream, and to achieve the patient’s desired outcomes.

With this approach, we can make sure that you will be as safe as possible. We speak with you about your expectations and goals before assessing your medical history and determining the safest, most effective plan.

    What’s the difference between reconstructive and cosmetic surgery?

    The purpose of cosmetic surgery is to reshape the body to improve self-esteem and create a more ideal self-image. On the other hand, the purpose of reconstructive surgery is to address disfigurement, defects, and other abnormalities. These issues may arise after accidents, surgeries to remove tumors, and things of that nature. Another big difference between these two types of surgery is the fact that cosmetic surgery is rarely covered by health insurance, while reconstructive surgery is usually covered.

    What can I expect when I recover from my cosmetic surgery?

    Your recovery experience depends on a number of factors. First of all, the type of procedure you choose may impact your recovery. Some procedures are less extensive and invasive than others, and you will likely experience an easier recovery period as a result. In addition, different patients recover in different ways. Some may require more or less pain medication than others. Your surgeon can prescribe the correct pain medications to help you overcome any discomfort. The good news is that virtually all facial cosmetic procedures involve easy recovery periods.

    How does Botox work?

    Botox injections are designed to reduce or remove visible signs of aging. The most common targets are hyper-functional lines - commonly known as “wrinkles.” These lines result from the contraction of underlying facial musculature, and Botox is effective because it temporarily weakens these muscles and prevents them from contracting. Botox does this without affecting the sensory feeling in these muscles. Botox may take up to 7 days to take full effect, although some patients notice considerable results in as little as 24 hours.

    How do I choose the right size for my breast implants?

    Choosing the right size for your new breast implants is an important decision. The choice is obviously based heavily on your own personal desires and tastes. On the other hand, you also need to take into account a number of additional factors. You might need to consider things like whether you have breastfed heavily in the past, and how this has affected your breasts. Remember, you can also receive cosmetic surgery to make breasts smaller. You can even receive surgery to change the general shape of the breasts without necessarily changing their size.

    How long do I need to take off work?

    You may need to take some time off work after undergoing your cosmetic procedure. Your surgeon will speak with you and let you know how long you need to fully recuperate. In general, most patients should rest for at least a week after receiving cosmetic surgery (less invasive procedures like Botox shouldn’t require any time off work).
