Video: The Science Behind Pimples

The hair follicles on our skin are connected, below the surface, to sebaceous glands. These glands secrete an oily substance that lubricates the skin and hair. Unfortunately, this oily substance sometimes clogs the surface of the skin, glueing dead skin cells to the skin surface. This prevents more oil from flowing to the surface, encouraging the growth of bacteria and producing the inflammation and redness characteristic of pimples. Watch this video for the full scoop on those pesky pimples!

Dermal fillers and Botox in Pearland can undo the side effects of aging skin. However, you can prevent these complications by avoiding the factors that cause skin to age.

This video explains why skin becomes damaged over time. One of the most common skin dangers is sunlight. Unprotected sun exposure can lead to uneven and wrinkled skin, making the consistent use of sunscreen integral to enjoying healthy-looking skin. Smoking can likewise harm skin cells and speed up the aging process. Once fine lines and wrinkles form in the skin, chemical peels, microdermabrasion, and Botox injections are treatments that can alleviate their appearance.

3 Ways to Look Your Best Everyday

Looking your best should never be reserved just for special occasions.  Eliminate the chaos of getting prepared for big moments like weddings, parties, and high school reunions by committing to three simple ideas:

1.     Maintain a Healthy Weight:

Easier said than done, but the significance of maintaining a healthy weight cannot be overstated.  Not only does it help your appearance (looking healthy means looking young) but it is also one of the best ways to stay healthy, which as we all know helps us feel great on a daily basis. 

2.     Take Care of Your Skin:

Despite our best efforts, signs of aging will begin to show in our skin.  Botox treatments, Juvederm, and other cosmetic facial treatments reduce the visibility of age, but routine skin care regimens are critical to maintaining smooth, radiant skin.  Starting at a young age is the best way to maintain young, smooth skin, and many people don’t begin a skin care regimen until they are in their 30s or later.  In addition to washing regularly, moisturizing and using night creams ensure that your skin retains moisture. If you’re unsure of what to use, you can always schedule a facial and have a personalized skin consultation with a Licensed Esthetician. 

3.     Know Your Body Type:

Dressing well is a definite way to feel good about yourself, but whether or not your clothing is flattering can be difficult to determine.  Learning your body type will help you choose the most flattering clothing for your frame, height, and weight.  Each body type looks best in particular kinds of jeans, swimsuits, and even jackets; knowing your own body will help guide you to the right styles of clothing when you shop.  If you are looking for a little help, Body Contour & Cellulite Wraps and body contouring with Smartlipo Triplex can easily maintain your shape.

Spring Renewal Brings Non-Surgical Treatments to Life!

model

What are the hottest looks this spring season? A healthy, smooth, glowing complexion and a face with youthful volume and defined cheekbones and chin are always in fashion. Advances in minimally-invasive cosmetic procedures have made it easier, faster, and safer to tweak or transform your appearance. New products, lasers, and other devices add to the array of solutions that can be customized for your specific needs.

Rather than going under the knife, many consumers are opting for the needle. Injections of Botulinum toxins such as Botox, as well as soft tissue fillers, represent more than half of all minimally invasive treatments. Injectables reduce lines, wrinkles, and folds, and add volume to improve a number of facial problem areas, including the lips.

Cosmetic lasers are the go-to tools for correcting specific skin issues or for overall rejuvenation when you want little to no downtime. Laser treatments can remove unwanted tattoos faster than ever, shrink fat cells to give a more contoured figure, and stimulate follicle cells for thicker, stronger hair.

Whether you want to smooth your lines and wrinkles, reduce sun damage, shrink pores and acne scars, correct pigmentation, tighten lax skin, or improve cellulite, there’s a laser procedure that can create the look you desire in less time than you would think.

Spring is a season for renewal. Nonsurgical cosmetic treatments can help you put your best self forward.  For the best selection of advanced non-surgical treatments, call Dr. Kratschmer's office in Pearland today!
