A woman will hunt high and low (and deep into their wallets) to find a miracle cream that promises smooth, even, glowing skin. Because what good is perfecting a smokey eye or red lip when your skin is marred by acne or wrinkles.
Many companies are taking note of our extreme measures and are launching innovative products and—well, some straight-up bizarre treatments to semi-permanently remove problems like acne and sallow skin.
Take a look at some of the weird treatments women try for flawless skin:
1. LED Face Masks
What it is: LED therapy is when light from a laser (attached to the mask here) stimulates skin, encouraging it to produce more collagen. LED therapy includes a variety of lights that range from red to blue and are applied depending on an individual’s skin issues and their desired results. It’s pain-free, non-invasive, and is said to treat acne breakouts, inflamed skin, fine lines and even wrinkles.
Where you can get it done: Bodyz Wellness located in Andheri.
2. Hand Rejuvenation
What it is: A non-surgical method of removing pigmentation (dark spots and uneven colouring caused by sun damage) in which micro-droplet injections of dermal fillers are administered onto the surface of skin to tighten and firm. This ten-minute treatment is great for anyone with saggy or crepey skin on their hands.
Where you can get it done: No where in India just yet, but you can visit www.epionebh.com to learn more from Dr. Simon Ourian who has this treatment available for $2,900-$4,900 (depending on the size per area).
3. Cool Laser
What it is: Cool laser is a low-intensity laser therapy that treats deep wrinkles and acne scars. This is done through the use of low-level light that stimulates regeneration (the forming of new skin cells during the healing period) to aid in the removal of pigmentation caused by sun damage.
Where you can get it done: The Esthetic Clinic, located in Mumbai.
4. Fire & Ice Facials
What is it: Dubbed the “celebrity” facial, the Fire and Ice clinical facial includes a combination of two treatment masques designed to resurface and rejuvenate sallow skin. It helps in reducing the appearance of fine lines while softening the skin by promoting cellular renewal, as it’s formulated with potent antioxidants like aloe vera, hyaluronic acid, and green tea.
Where you can get it done: Hasn’t surfaced in India yet, but you can visit IS Clinical to know what it’s all about.
There you go, the crazy things we do to get flawless looking skin!
