These days, a healthy, glowing, and perhaps even radiant skin is considered a must for many people, regardless where they work or the kind of lifestyle they enjoy. The overall sense of happiness and fulfillment from the unblemished appearance connotes confidence and professionalism that cannot help but positively touch the lives of their friends, colleagues, and loved ones as well. It projects a freedom from illness and the stress that comes with the struggles of making a living in the perpetually busy city.
Triggers in the environment and one’s lifestyle can affect skin health. Failure to address these skin conditions at the right time for earlier diagnosis can also worsen them. For example, if unattended, acne can leave scars on the face and body that are difficult to remove. Excessive and unregulated exposure to the sun can also trigger skin conditions like melasma. The natural aging process can leave fine lines and wrinkles that may become an almost permanent fixture on the face over time. The same thing happens to a mother’s stretch marks if she leaves them unattended for a significant period of time.
These skin conditions can only be addressed by treatments that have been designed to effect long-lasting care. One such treatment that can be found in the SvelT’i Health and Beauty Centre in Quezon City is the cutting-edge, patient-friendly solution, appropriately known as Emerge. Emerge is a non-invasive, non-surgical approach that uses laser technology to do lasting work under the affected layers of the skin. Emerge is more effective than most skin treatments because it addresses the skin problems at their roots.
Dr. Lalaine Salazar, medical director of SvelT’i Health and Beauty Centre, explains, “The healing that Emerge provides lasts longer because it focuses on the affected parts of the skin which lie a few layers below the epidermis or the surface. Fractional skin resurfacing with Palomar uses laser energy microbeams to create new layers of skin on the affected area that extends through the epidermis into the dermis. The body’s natural healing process allows new, healthy tissue to replace the areas of affected tissue, resulting in healthier, younger-looking skin.”
“Emerge triggers the production of collagen under the skin of the affected area such as a scar on the cheek, a wrinkle on the forehead, or a stretch mark on the stomach. Collagen is the body’s natural substance that rejuvenates and softens the skin and makes it look young,” Dr. Salazar continues.
Treatment of scars and wrinkles
Emerge is highly recommended for people who are suffering from deep-pitted scars resulting from previous severe acne condition. It also addresses the concerns of patients with wrinkles: it arrests the development of these aging symptoms even before they start; it also reduces the ones that have already gathered almost as a mass on the affected area.
“There is minimal to no downtime,” enthuses Dr. Salazar. “Each session is conducted for only 30 minutes. The patient can go home, shop in the mall, or return to work. They can resume their activities without any inconvenience.”
Prior to the treatment, a consultation with each patient is conducted to determine how Emerge can be best applied to respond to their unique needs. “Our solutions are customized,” says Dr. Salazar. “Each patient has their own unique medical history which can explain how they acquired such conditions. Our application of Emerge is designed to bring out the best possible result for the patient while taking into consideration their lifestyle and work activity.”
Emerge is designed to make the patients emerge at their best in all spheres of their lives. From a busy boardroom to a sunny beach, they can radiate their best, basking in the new confidence that their rejuvenated skin has given them.
“After one treatment, you can see results,” says Dr. Salazar. “Commitment on the part of the patients is needed until the desired long-term result is achieved.”
