There was a time when facial skin treatments were limited to simple cucumber slices, and basic mud packs. Then the cosmetics industry began to create a whole range of facial skin care treatments such as facial creams, and lotions. 

It was thought the most expensive the cream, the more effective it must be. This might be true or not. However, the cosmetics industry continues to develop, and grow worldwide at an alarming rate, driven by an insatiable desire by women, to look younger.

Statistics show that in 2022, women in the US, over the age 30, spent around $18 billion on facial skincare treatments. 

The verified stats also reveal that around 75% of women worldwide use a range of facial skincare products every single day.

Facial skincare is the fastest growing sector of the cosmetics industry with a global turnover of around $171 billion. It is expected to grow steadily year on year reaching an incredible $188 billion by 2027. Never has such a product been in such high demand.

In recent years, other forms of facial skin treatment have also attracted the attention of an extremely receptive market audience. 

These include skin care therapy such as Dermabrasion, Dermal Fillers, Botox, Chemical Peels, Laser Resurfacing, Laser Skin Rejuvenation, IPL Photo Rejuvenation, Hydrafacial, and IS Clinical Fire & Ice Resurfacing. There are also a number of various surgical facelift procedures on offer.

Each type of facial skin therapy or procedure involves the use of chemicals or surgical instruments, and costs range from around $300 to $1000 for Dermal Fillers to an average of $3000 for Laser Skin Resurfacing. 

For those absolutely serious about their facial appearance you can expect to pay on average around $10,000 for facelift surgery or up to $40,000 if performed by a top Beverley Hills surgeon.

Many women choose to go abroad in search of cheaper deals but the high risk factor should be carefully considered.

Despite the costs, there are no signs whatsoever that the practice of facial skin treatment, therapy, and surgery are in decline. In fact the opposite is true. 

The success of most facial therapies, and treatments are short-lived, hence the recipients will need to have regular treatment should they wish to maintain or enhance their looks.

It is this continual, and repetitive demand for facial therapies that drives the industry forward. Needless to say, the market has become increasingly competitive, and more recently innovative.

While part of the facial skin care industry has moved on in order to attract the more affluent of clientele, technology has come to the aid of those who are more concerned about offering real solutions that are effective, and more importantly, more affordable for all women in society. 

One of the most successful of facial skin treatments involves the use of light technology, which is better known as laser treatment. There are currently several types of laser treatment, the most common being Laser Skin Resurfacing, and Laser Skin Rejuvenation.

Both these treatments involve removing the outer layer of facial skin, which then encourages the rapid growth of new skin to heal the damage. However, with this therapy there is significant risk, especially if applied by someone who lacks medical expertise or has not been fully trained in laser treatment. 

Reports of long-lasting skin damage being caused due to over exposure to laser treatment have been widespread over recent years. That said, light therapy has many proven, and major benefits for facial skin rejuvenation.

The demand for new options has led to the development of a high tech light therapy device, which has been designed to apply a much safer, and therefore kinder exposure to light. 

This incorporates new, and harmless LED lighting technology. LED light therapy works at a cellular level, and is particularly effective for the treatment of rosacea, and acne. 

The LED lights penetrate the upper skin layers to create a photo-stimulating dermal blood flow, which activates the natural healing process.

The device, known as the Primalderm LED Therapy Face Mask works by utilizing the 3 most active and distinct light forms within the frequency of the optical spectrum. 

This being infrared, ultra-violet, and visible yellow. Infrared, and ultraviolet light have short wavelengths, and therefore cannot be seen by the human eye but are represented in the mask’s structure by the colors red, and blue. 

The mask eliminates the need to visit a therapist, as treatment can easily, and quickly be carried out at home. 

A cost saving in itself.
