For a long time, the beauty industry has convinced us that it had come up with a revolutionary product—something that would wildly upset everything we thought we knew and offer a different, wonderful, and new solution to our never-ending beauty problems. In my view, the closest we have come to a revolution with a product in the skincare industry within the past few years has been the idea of “advance” or “medical” skincare. The industry has been pushing this idea that, unlike your regular creams and serums that just sort of sit on top of the skin, these powerful new “medical” or “advanced” products actually penetrate deep down into your skin to where all of the real biochemistry and dermatology is going on.
The Revolution of Skin Cellular Renewal
Skin cellular renewal has become the most revolutionary concept in skincare. Biotechnological ingredients, such as growth factors, stem cells, and peptides, target specific cellular processes. For instance, growth factors stimulate fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin, which give our skin its natural resilience and keep it looking plump. Innovative delivery systems—liposomes, nanotechnology, and microspheres—have also fundamentally altered how well ingredients work by ensuring they reach their intended destinations and perform effectively.
Advances in Skincare Treatments
Laser Treatments
The skincare treatment realm has evolved, offering high-performance options for rejuvenation from dermatologist practices to medi-spas. Laser treatments, including fractional laser and laser resurfacing, are at the forefront. Fractional lasers create tiny holes in the skin (the “wound response”) while leaving surrounding tissue intact. This non-heating precision treatment targets pigmentation, texture, tone, and firmness. Another similar treatment is microneedling, which induces a “wound response” but with fewer punctures.
Radiofrequency (RF) Treatments
Radiofrequency (RF) treatments use electromagnetic energy to tighten collagen, the main protein in the connective tissues of your skin. An RF device sends energy through the skin layers, which feels warm but is less intense than an electric razor. Though RF is considered non-invasive, it can occasionally cause RF burns, which are generally mild and heal within 10 days.
Bespoke Skincare
An increasing trend in skincare is the bespoke nature of products, facilitated by recent advances in technology. Professional and at-home treatments use artificial intelligence (AI) to analyse your skin type, age, and day-to-day concerns. The recommendations that follow are highly personalised, providing tailored advice on products, regimens, or dermatological treatments based on individual skin analysis.
