Micro-needling is a cosmetic procedure that has been around for several years where a device with super fine needles is used to create very, very fine channels into the skin in a process that has been described as being akin to aerating a lawn! This process stimulates collagen and results in much improved skin structure, tone and texture. PRP or Platelet Rich Plasma has also been around for several years in use in various medical specialties where a patient's own blood is processed to extract the platelets with their associated growth factors, and then they are re-injected back into the patient in the relevant area being treated. PRP is also now being used with great results for facial rejuvenation.

Skin care is essential for maintaining healthy skin and creating skin wellness, and having a healthy skin is an important contributor to our general health and wellness. Our skin is actually an important part of our immune system and we have to maintain a healthy 'barrier' between our body and our environment. It is also an essential base to the success of any cosmetic surgery or plastic surgery procedures, because without healthy skin, the results will not be as good as they could be, and won't look as nice either. Healthy skin is beautiful skin and it is the topic under discussion this week (26Oct15) on Inside Cosmetic Surgery Today on webtalkradio.net, when show host, Edmonton Cosmetic Dermatologist Dr Barry Lycka talks with Dr Vivian Bucay, board certified dermatologist from her practice in San Antonio, Texas.
