Improvement of the Quality of the Skin

Speaking of skin quality does signify the apperance of winkles and the loss of skin elasticity, caused by sun- and nicotine damage, in conjuntion with genetically defined ageing. This is very different from a surplus (slag) of skin, and so is the treatment.

Resurfacing procedures such as laser or peels, remove the outermost layer of the skin in order to induce the skins repair mechanisms. The newly grown skin layers have a more youthful structure, which in turn gives you a more youthful look with less wrinkles. These treatments are therefore mainly used to reduce skin damage, rather than tightening or removing excess skin.

Further exciting rejuvenation procedures are expected from the progress of anti-ageing medicine and the development of cosmeceuticals.
