Skin Care That Mimics Cosmetic Procedures

By: Janice Wee


Posted 20 July 2007



Name some of the most common beauty procedures in the surgeon's office these days. Aside from breast implants and liposuction that is. I can think of a few.

Yes, I know there are many more to target different beauty problems, but let's focus on just these few situations.

Too thin lips If you want fuller lips, you can buy them. Collagen injected into your lips would plump them up. That would fix the vertical lines on your lips too. The problem with collagen injections is that you need to get your lips injected every 3 months to maintain the results. Also, these procedures aren't cheap. One great alternative to these collagen injections is lipfusion. It contains dehydrated microspheres of collagen that get into your lips when you apply the lipstick. Once in your lips, the dehydrated collagen seeks out your body's natural moisture and absorbs it. The hydrated collagen plumps up your lips giving you that pouty look without the needle.

There are other lip plumpers in the market. Instead of collagen, these contain cinnamon, ginger, clove or even pepper. You get that bee-stung look by the cosmetic equivalent of getting stung by a bee on your lips. Basically this class of lip plumpers make your lips plump up by inducing an allergy, causing lips to swell up and turn red. Looks good but not something I'd want to try.

Lines on the skin To deal with wrinkles, depending on the severity and where the lines are located, you might want to go for chemical peels, eye lifts or face lifts.

Anti-aging skincare is a big thing with cosmetic companies. Many creams, lotions and DIY kits have been produced by leading brands to erase lines and wrinkles. Some, leading brands even tout their products as substitutes for some of these cosmetic procedures.

Nowadays, some of these skin care products produce visible results that make that visit to the doctor's office unncecessarily. No doubt no at-home treatment can give you the same results as a face lift, but the results are not bad. Instead of a chemical peel to unclog pores and reduce the look of fine lines, maybe an at home treatment might do the job. The Olay Regenerist ads make the bold claim that if you don't want a chemical peel, you could try regenerist smoothing facial serum instead. They do have the disclaimer that says "Results not equal to medical procedures". Still, it is worth a shot. You can hold of the medical procedures a little longer by using what skin care companies have to offer, and save a bundle.

  • Glycolic Acid - 'Fountain of Youth' in a bottle

    Glycolic acid is a" Fountain of Youth" for the skin, when you are using it correctly and in proper concentrations with other active ingredients. It is the only AHA which due to its small molecular size can penetrate through skin cells. Once inside the cell, it will trigger new formation of collagen and turn on the synthesis of dermal glycosaminoglycans to plump up the cell and the ground substances in the skin to reduce wrinkles on the skin's surface. Forced exfoliation with GA results in an emergency message to the dermis requesting immediate assistance, thus originates the process of replacing cells to the surface, increasing the rate of turnover.
