Some of the cosmetic solutions that are in fashion in Islamabad are face rejuvenation options, which embrace various types that enhance the texture of the skin, reduce signs of aging, and even give the face an enhanced young look.
However, one question many people ask before undergoing these treatments is: Will face rejuvenation hurt?
What is Face Rejuvenation?
Face rejuvenation refers to interventions intended to reverse skin aging and enhance the skin’s condition. The objectives are managing wrinkles, fine lines, drooping skin, hyperpigmentation, and discoloration. Chemical peeling and microdermabrasion are mild methods of treatment and one can progress up to the next level with options such as surgical procedures, laser therapy, and injectable products.
In Islamabad, SKN Cosmetics provides face rejuvenation procedures which means clients are not only able to make the choice that will be most beneficial to them simply but also be satisfied with which procedures will be offered.
Is Face Rejuvenation Procedures Painful?
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are the process by which chemicals are used to remove the outermost layer of skin so that new skin can regenerate.
Pain Level:
For lighter peels, pain can be a bit different from deeper ones. In superficial peels, the patient may feel a tingling sensation while deeper peels may cause a burning sensation during the peel and after the peel.
Recovery:
After deeper peels, redness and peeling are likely to occur and such symptoms only last for a few days. Superficial peels have zero downtime and are good for individuals who want as little discomfort as possible.
Microneedling
Microneedling contains needles to pierce the skin in minor points which help in the formation of new collagen fiber. This can enhance the skin’s roughness, skin color, and pore sizes.
Pain Level:
Although it is a painful procedure, the use of a numbing cream makes the process bearable for the patient. Cupping may cause mild sensations of tingling or pins and needles to the affected area in many patients.
Recovery:
There may be a slight inflammatory reaction, slight redness, and slight stinging in the starting days. But these complaints disappear very soon.
Laser Treatments:
Laser works on the principle of focusing light to treat specific places with pigmentation, lines, or scars. Patients must understand that there are ablation lasers and nonabrasive lasers with variables of intensity in between.
Pain Level:
The non-ablative lasers that work deeper into the skin but do not scar the skin’s surface tend to be less painful than the ablative ones and do not need the administration of an anesthetic cream. Although ablative lasers work deeper into the skin they may need topical anesthesia or local anesthesia. The majority of patients admit that they experience a burning type of discomfort ranging from low to moderate.
Recovery:
Usually, there is no recovery time, but if there is it may take a few days and the skin starts to heal.
Dermal Fillers and Botox
Cosmetic surgery treatments such as dermal fillers and Botox involve the injection of substances to make a specific body part larger and smooth away wrinkles respectively.
Pain Level:
They are normally minor injections but the needles used are very thin. A numbing cream may be applied, but most clients feel a sting when the injections are being administered.
Recovery:
The procedure is non-surgical and any soreness usually lasts only for a short period of time. After the treatment, there may be some minor swelling or bruising and they will only last for a short period of time.
Radio Frequency:
RF skin tightening is a nonsurgical process that applies radiofrequency energy to heat the dermal layers a little bit and stimulate collagen production while shrinking the skin.
Pain Level:
This treatment is painless and most patients feel a warmth on the skin at the site of treatment. During the creation process, the lack of requirements for anesthetics makes it a painless method.
Recovery:
Patients should not feel that there is downtime with the RF treatments because they can go regularly.
What to Expect During Recovery:
You can follow most face rejuvenation procedures with a short recovery period, as they are minimally invasive. Here’s what to expect:
Mild Redness or Swelling:
This is something that happens when doing procedures such as microneedling, chemical peeling, and using lasers. Swelling and redness usually disappear after a few hours to a few days depending on the level of treatment required.
Peeling or Flakiness:
After some chemical peels or laser treatments are done on the face, the skin renews and peels some off. This is a normal thing and fades within a week at most, mostly as the result of adaptation to the new environment.
Sun Sensitivity:
It will make your skin more vulnerable to sun rays after the treatment so sunscreen and staying away from direct sunlight is extremely important to avoid any rash and get the best outcome.
