Laser Skin Care Treatment Alternatives - 3 Affordable, Effective Procedures

As you may know, laser skin resurfacing involves using intense light beams to remove the surface layer of the skin, revealing younger looking skin with fewer wrinkles and discoloration. What you may not know is that with laser treatments, the downtime and healing process can be extensive. For those with olive, tanned, or dark skin; it may take six to nine months for normal skin pigmentation to return. In addition, the considerable time it may take for complete recovery makes it uncomfortable for some to resume work and other social schedules. For this reason, many prefer an alternative such as superficial chemical peels. Below are three affordable, effective laser skin care treatment alternatives:

TCA Blended Peels

Tricholoracetic acid (TCA) peels combined with other acids, such as Salicylic or Alpha Hydroxy Acid create moderate depth peels that are very effective in eliminating fine wrinkles and reducing discoloration. The beauty of these peels is that the controlled application gives skin a new healthy glow without dermal damage or demarcation. Therefore, superficial peeling with a master aesthetician will have skin looking younger with minimal recovery. With this kind of light peel, the skin undergoes brisk peeling within three or four days that is similar to sunburn peel with very little down time.

For even better results, make sure the skin is prepped properly beforehand by applying retinol, glycolic acid and bleaching agents as directed prior to the procedure. Preparing the skin before the peel will result in faster recovery and lower risk of discoloration. Retinols will also shed the dead, superficial layers of skin while stimulating the skin to help regenerate and heal more quickly.

Apple Wine Peels

Dermal resurfacing followed by microdermabrasion and an apple wine peel formulate an easy, three-step alternative for skin conditioning and renewal. When done by an astute professional, this process (which removes the dead, outermost layer of skin using tiny crystals) is not painful and can leave the skin rejuvenated and smooth after just one week (please note: after the apple wine peel, slight peeling may be observed within three or four days). This three-part process is an excellent option for those with sun damage, crow's feet around the eyes, vertical lines around the lips, blotchy skin or acne scars.

Kojic Acid and Clay-based TCA Peels

Kojic acid and clay-based TCA peels are good for those with hyperpigmentation or dark blotches on the face. These peels blend natural, oceanic ingredients (for additional skin building support) that soften the skin and even its tone while also breaking down cellular buildup, thereby detoxifying the skin safely and quickly.

These alternatives to laser skin care offer many benefits, including reduced cost and shorter healing times. In fact, after a series of these types of peels, women find they look many years younger with fewer wrinkles, smaller pores, reduction in fine lines, more even skin tone and a more refreshed appearance (don't forget that using a good, broad spectrum sunscreen with a high sun protection factor against both UVA and UVB rays is critical, as it will not only protect the new skin exposed by the peels, but will also prevent further sun damage).
