When it comes to skin treatments, there’s lots of good news regarding therapies for medical conditions as well as cosmetic concerns. But it’s important to choose your treatments with care and to check and double-check the reputation and accreditation of clinicians performing invasive skin procedures. The market for skin treatments is skyrocketing: research indicates Americans spend an estimated $5 billion or more each year on anti-aging skin care products, and the number of minimally invasive cosmetic procedures to improve the skin’s appearance—like chemical peels, fillers, and lasers—has increased to more than 16 million annually in the United States.
How do I get healthy skin?
Although people seldom stop to appreciate their skin, it's much more than a way to hold bones and tissues. It is the body's largest organ, weighing about nine pounds, and performs several functions that help maintain health. Skin forms a defensive barrier, protecting your inner organs from foreign invaders like bacteria and viruses. But it is not merely a passive wall. In the outermost layer of skin, cells actively ward off infections, forming the front-line defences of the immune system.
The importance of skin care
As you age, your skin undergoes “wear and tear” in response to the elements. In particular, damage from sun exposure, also known as photoaging, causes wrinkles, lines, brown spots, dry skin, and even skin cancer, making sun protection vital. Over the years, everyday stresses and exposures also can alter your skin’s tone, texture, and contour.
