IPL Therapy in New York

Acne occurs when oil and dead skin cells plug your hair follicles, causing blackheads, whiteheads, or pimples. Although acne is more common for young people, it can affect anyone at any age.

Acne can cause significant physical discomfort and emotional distress, though it is generally not dangerous. Since acne can be persistent and difficult to get rid of, however, you may wish to seek professional help.

The texture of your skin changes as you age—and not always for the better. While many people do not mind the occasional wrinkle or freckle, other changes like scarring and cellulite can cause embarrassment and unhappiness. Skin rejuvenation can help control and correct these issues, revealing smoother and younger skin beneath them.

Your tears play a significant role in your ocular health. They lubricate, nourish, and protect your cornea, while flushing out dirt and debris. Moreover, also help focus light entering your eyes so you see clearly.

Tears contain 3 layers:

• An inner mucus layer that keeps the tear film connected to the eye.
• A watery middle layer that hydrates the eye and repels bacteria.
• An outer oily layer to keep the tear smooth and prevent the other layers from evaporating.

This oily layer is called meibum produced by the meibomian glands. If these glands become blocked, then there is less oil in the tear film, and the tears evaporate too quickly. In addition, the oil that is secreted can be grainy or unhealthy and cause irritation. These resulting tear film issues are called meibomian gland dysfunction.
