Types Of Skin Rejuvenation Treatments And Why You May Want Them

Have you started noticing irregularities or "flaws" on your face or skin? If you have noticed these and are wondering what you can do to treat them or prevent more in the future, you may want to look into skin rejuvenation treatment.  

What Is Skin Rejuvenation Treatment?

Skin rejuvenation treatment is used to treat damaged and aging skin. There are a few different ways to go about completing skin rejuvenation treatment depending on what you are looking to treat. Some conditions that skin rejuvenation treatment can tackle include:

• Scars. These can occur from a past injury or even from acne. 
• Dull skin. Dull skin can be caused by clogged pores.
• Wrinkles. There are treatments for wrinkles that are always visible as well as those that show up with movement. 
• Pigmentation. Sun exposure can cause dark spots and extra freckles. 
• Vascular. Some vascular conditions can cause permanent redness in the face or even visible blood vessels. 

Just as there are many reasons why someone may want to undergo skin rejuvenation treatments, there are many skin rejuvenation treatment options.  

Types of Skin Rejuvenation Treatments

Whatever issue you are facing, there is a treatment option to help. Those treatment options can include:

• Laser treatment. This occurs when a light is brought up to your skin and removes the old, damaged skin. This is a good way to treat wrinkles, scars, and sunspots. 
• Microneedling. Microneedling requires a medical professional to place an acidic substance on the skin. They will then use a tool with small, sharp needles on the area. This is good for scars, burns, and stretch marks. 
• Chemical peels. This treatment uses a chemical peel—similar to a face mask—to remove the damaged skin. This treatment is good for acne, pigmentation, and wrinkles. 
• Dermal fillers. Dermal fillers are an injection that can help add volume to certain areas. This is a way to plump your lips or treat your wrinkles. 
• Spider vein treatment. Spider veins are common in women. They appear as a small bunch of blue, red, or purple veins. The treatment will require each vein to receive an injection which will cause the color to fade and the vein to collapse. 

Does Insurance Cover Skin Rejuvenation Treatment?

If the skin rejuvenation treatment you are wanting is to correct something that is a cosmetic issue (e.g., scars, wrinkles, dulled skin, etc.), it will be safe to assume that your insurance will not pay for that treatment. If the treatment is deemed medically necessary, then your insurance may cover it, but always double-check your insurance plan before moving forward to avoid surprises.
