Do You Suffer From Acne?

If you've suffered from severe acne or even cystic acne, we've got something that might interest you. From such a young age, everyone often shares the same insecurity, acne. While some are lucky enough to grow out of it and not have to stress over it for years, others struggle with it far into adulthood. Something that has helped those with acne for years has been chemical peels. First off, what is cystic acne, and how do you know if you've been suffering from it? Cystic acne is different from regular acne due to it being inflamed. All of the inflammation ends up causing frequently painful, pus-filled pimples to begin forming underneath the skin, deep enough so it's more challenging to clear out from your pores. Acne occurs when oil and dead skin cells clog skin pores. With cystic acne, bacteria also gets into the pores, causing swelling or inflammation. Cystic acne is the most severe type of acne, and that's why our chemical peels can help alleviate some o...

The Truth About Botox

Is Botox really bad for you? You've heard all the negative talk about Botox: "Botox is toxic for your skin." "It's so unnatural." "Don't screw up your face." "You don't need that filler." But, have you heard the truth in all the noise? There are many misconceptions about Botox treatment, and it often gets a bad rep because it is regarded as unsafe, unnatural, and unnecessary. Keep reading on as we expose each of these three myths. #1: Botox is Unsafe The idea that Botox is unsafe is centered around its main ingredient: botulinum. In high percentages, botulinum is considered a toxin and can be deadly. In controlled dosages, it can safely and effectively produce the muscle paralysis effects that Botox is known for. However, if you are considering Botox injections, it is very important to visit an experienced professional so that the dosage is spread evenly and is injected into the correct muscle. #2: Botox is Unnatural...

What's the Deal with Chemical Peels?

We all want younger, smoother looking skin, and it used to be so hard to achieve, until now. Now, this treatment may sound way scarier than it is, but a chemical peel is not as bad as it sounds. It is a vital part of skin treatment, helping to reduce skin discoloration, fade scars, treat wrinkles, and even more. The biggest questions now are what a chemical peel is, and how do you include this in your skin care routine. Well, let us talk about the basics. A chemical peel is a skin-resurfacing procedure where a qualified esthetician applies a chemical solution to someone's skin to remove the top layers. The skin that ends up growing back will be smoother, younger, and overall healthier. There are three different types of peels available, all with a different mission. The three most common types of peels are based on depths, light, medium, and deep which all use different chemicals that will give you a different outcome. A light chemical peel (the superficial chemical peel) remov...

Why You Should Use SPF Everyday

We have all heard "put sunscreen on or you'll regret it later", but we are never really told how much to put on and how often. Usually you show up to the pool, slather yourself up and jump right in, spending your whole time in the water. But do you need to put it on more than once, and even if its an overcast day where no sun is peaking through the clouds? The answer is yes, and we are going to explain why. Sunscreen is crucial when it comes to skincare. It is the one thing that is keeping you from soaking in all of the harmful UV rays that are being poured onto you by the sun, and when used regularly it helps prevent sunburn, skin cancer, and premature aging. Even so, there are a lot of misconceptions about how we are supposed to use sunscreen. At Fairlawn Aesthetics we thought we would help explain how to properly use SPF so that you can keep your skin looking refreshed and healthy. While no sunscreen is completely 100 percent UV proof, it is very important to know...

Should You See a Dermatologist for Sun Spots?

It's a well-known fact that the sun can cause many types of damage to the skin, including sunburns and wrinkles. But perhaps the most common cosmetic damage that occurs are sunspots. Sunspots are flat brown spots that usually show up on the face, neck, chest or hands. Typically, sunspots are harmless and don't pose much of a health risk. One of the main reasons people remove sunspots is purely for cosmetic purposes. With that said, do be mindful of the differences between a sunspot and signs of skin cancer caused by the sun. Melanoma is the most high profile case of skin cancer and early signs of melanoma are a new mole or changing the characteristics of an existing mole. These include a change in size, itching or bleeding. If you experience any spot on the skin that is rapidly changing size or shape should be seen by a dermatologist. If you have sunspots and just can't bare to live with them any longer, dermatologists can prescribe retinols or other creams that will...

Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is a skin treatment that uses a specialized blade — similar to a surgical scalpel called a dermatome — to remove dead skin and hairs. People may also refer to it as microplaning or blading. When you have it done by a certified professional aesthetician, experts generally consider it safe. However, a person should not try to do dermaplaning on themselves or others at home. The basic concept of dermaplaning is the same as shaving, but in place of a razor, it uses a scalpel-type blade to remove skin cells, hair, and other debris that may be present on the surface of the skin. The continuous exposure of the top layer of skin to UV rays, environmental toxins, and irritants means that it may begin to appear dull. Dermaplaning removes the top layer of skin to reveal newer skin cells that may make a person’s skin appear smoother and glowing. An esthetician, plastic surgeon, or dermatologist can perform skin resurfacing procedures such as dermaplaning. A person should choose a...
