The Best Lunchtime Cosmetic Procedures and Treatments

It’s a hectic week. Your schedule is bursting at the seams already. You’re probably thinking to yourself there won’t be any time for taking a moment to care for your skin, rejuvenate your appearance or do something that will make a real difference in your complexion. What about using your lunch break for a quick cosmetic treatment? Did you know there are a number of non-surgical cosmetic procedures that you can have performed over the span of a single lunchtime in the dermatologist’s office?

Cosmetic dermatologists certainly understand busy schedules and that is why they have treatment options that can be done quickly, painlessly and after which you can immediately return to work or play!

Best Lunchtime Cosmetic Treatment: Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a process by which layers of dead skin cells are essentially buffed off, revealing the younger and healthier looking skin beneath. Dermatology has numerous ways to help you achieve a more radiant glow and tone to your skin, and with microdermabrasion you can do just that. The process itself involves spraying tiny crystal-like particles onto the surface of the skin and then using a high powered wand to “sand” off the layers of dead cells. The best dermatologists understand how to perform this procedure so that it is in fact very much the equivalent of a facial experience. Of course, who wouldn’t want the experience of a relaxing facial during their otherwise hectic day?

We have used microdermabrasion treatments for addressing fine lines and wrinkles, discolorations and also for treating acne related scars. You will notice the effects immediately following, as the skin will appear fresher and more youthful than before treatment. No downtime and no side effects. We always do suggest that clients keep the skin moisturized and use sunblock daily on the newly exfoliated skin.

Chemical Peels: A Lunchtime Miracle

With a number of different chemical peel options, you can certainly find a treatment that will fit right into your lunchtime schedule. Much like with microdermabrasion, a chemical peel is designed to get rid of dead skin. By applying chemical exfoliants, dead cells are removed from the skin’s surface leaving behind a more radiant looking complexion. Chemical peels have been used to address all types of common skin concerns, from sun damage, to discoloration, acne scar and fine lines and wrinkles. The results of a chemical peel are amazing. And as there is zero downtime, so you can return to normal activities immediately following.

Following the procedure, some patients note that the skin might appear a bit red; this is common but within a day or two should completely subside. As with microdermabrasion, we tell all of our clients following a chemical peel to moisturize and use sunblock regularly, as the virgin skin now exposed needs to stay hydrated and protected.

Laser Genesis: Quick, Easy, and Pain Free!

What exactly is Laser Genesis? This is basically a laser treatment in which a handheld laser device passes over the skin multiple times. It feels like a relaxing facial in many ways and most patients really enjoy the sensation of a Laser Genesis treatment. The laser stimulates collagen growth in the skin and this in turn, helps the skin to become firmer with a more youthful look and feel.

Laser Genesis is absolutely painless. Becoming an increasingly popular procedure within cosmetic dermatology, laser genesis has been very effective when it comes to treating acne scarring, discoloration, sunspots even rosacea. For optimal effects with this type of procedure, most of the best dermatologists recommend 6-8 treatments each spaced about a month apart.

Beautiful Skin Delivered in an Hour!

Taking care of your complexion and addressing those issues that have been bothering you to include things such as acne scars, sunspots, fine lines and wrinkles, doesn’t have to involved overly lengthy or painful processes that leave you recovering for days or weeks on end. Very often painless, in-office treatments that can be performed by a certified dermatologist or dermatology provider during even your lunch hour can take years off your skin, restore that healthy glow and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. It’s really about consulting with a cosmetic dermatologist to find out what might be the best solution for your skin!
