As the holidays approach, you undoubtedly want to revitalize your skin and enhance its radiance to match the season’s vibrancy. However, with so many anti-aging skin conditioning treatments to choose from, you might struggle to pick the one that’s just right for you.
Chemical peels have long been an effective treatment to repair sun-damaged skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, scarring, and other skin imperfections. However, in the past few years, micro laser peels have emerged as a popular alternative. Like a chemical peel, a micro laser peel ablatively removes the surface layer of skin to reveal underlying fresh skin cells. Unlike a chemical peel, the laser action also heats the lower skin layers to induce tightening and stimulate collagen and elastin production naturally.
The practice of using massage to heal injuries, relieve pain, reduce stress, and prevent and cure illnesses has roots in ancient Eastern and Western civilizations. The earliest written records about massage therapy came from Egypt and China between 3,000 and 2,500 B.C. However, a sacred form of massage known as Ayurveda is thought to have emerged in India before 3,000 B.C., with the first written texts detailing its principles and practices between 1,500 and 500 B.C. The ancient Greeks and Romans heartily adopted massage for health purposes and, when combined with aromatic oils, as a beautifying skin treatment.
