Ageing is a reality and stress only makes you age faster. As you age, not only your body starts to lose the strength, your looks start to diminish, wrinkles and lines start to appear around your eyes and mouth. Your face loses the youthful glow and hyperpigmentation causes dark spots. All these tell a tale signs of ageing to reveal your real age to the world. They become apparent as your skin loses the self-healing powers it once had. Your skin is the largest organ of your body and younger skin has the ability to regenerate the dead cell and heal the minor scaring and damages. Younger skin is also capable of fighting the harsh environment.

All these factors related to skin make you look older even if you do not feel that old. This could be depressing in itself.

Injectable treatments include mesotherapy, PRP, Botox and fillers. These treatments are helpful in varying degree and can help in uplifting and tightening the skin and even reshaping your features. Some can even improve your skin tone and texture.

Laser treatment was initially used for hair removal but its selectiveness towards destroying darker pigment melanin inspired its application in targeted cells with a higher amount of melanin. Therefore experiments were conducted and it was confirmed if scar tissues and dark spots are targeted with laser, the cells in the outer layer can be destroyed and natural healing process than replace them with younger and healthier cells which matches your natural tone.
