For most of the Bay Area population, maintaining healthy, attractive skin may be relatively easy in early adulthood. The California lifestyle, which encourages healthy eating and outdoor activities, might contribute to the flushed glow on our faces. laser skin rejuvenation on a patient in Foster City, San MateoThe use of sunscreen and good skin care can keep one’s face radiant for some time. Yet, over the years, small changes can begin to appear. There might be new tiny spots showing up on the cheeks and brow from a bit of sun damage (yes, it can even happen with sunscreen). Fine lines begin to emerge around the mouth. In some lighting, a person can appear more “tired.” Certain rooms, when mixed with light and dark, create shadows highlighting an unfavorable appearance.

It’s not abnormal to notice your face changing depending on the type of lighting you’re in. In fact, when a person visits us to discuss laser skin rejuvenation at our Foster City clinic, we are well-versed in the issue. As people age, their skin becomes dull for several reasons. It can be due to vitamin deficiencies, slow cell turnover, and changes in color and texture resulting from a poor diet.

The iconic Seinfeld show, known for being “A show about nothing,” took a situation about bad lighting and made a whole episode about it. In one episode, Jerry meets a lovely woman at a party and invites her to meet him at dinner with friends. When she arrives, the lighting changes her appearance, and he hardly recognizes her. Here’s the clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJTaHBB78f4. We love a classic Seinfeld moment! The show has a way of adding a bit of humor to everyday problems. And the two-faced episode is undoubtedly funny, but not so much when it’s happening to a Bay Area local in real life!

If this is happening to you, it may be time to acknowledge over-the-counter skin treatments are not working anymore. Speaking with our Foster City skincare clinic about laser skin rejuvenation could be the answer to looking great all the time.

Laser skin rejuvenation in Foster City can bring back a consistently fresh appearance

Several Bay Area locals living and working in places like Palo Alto, Redwood City, and Meno Park rely on a professional appearance. Uneven, tired-looking skin is not helpful to this goal. A skincare clinic offering cutting-edge technology for achieving great skin can result in a consistently ‘fresh’ appearance. One innovative skincare procedure is the HALO laser treatment. It is a hybrid fractional laser using both non-ablative and ablative wavelengths to rejuvenate sallow skin. The HALO laser helps lighten sunspots and fine lines. It also promotes natural collagen growth for smoother, more radiant skin. A primary benefit is that the laser is exact. So, there will be no damage to healthy skin surrounding the problem area.

Another popular skin treatment is the ITEL/BBL Photo Facial. First, it promotes collagen production in a non-invasive procedure. Second, the photo facial addresses various skin problems such as rosacea, rashes, acne, and blemishes. The result is an even skin tone and a more youthful appearance. An a typically short recovery time is an added bonus!

When someone notices their face appears worse in certain lighting, no matter what they do, it’s not funny. Contact our Foster City clinic to discuss options for Laser Skin Rejuvenation and get back to looking your best in every type of light!
