Know from experts which is more effective in skin care, home remedies or cosmetology treatment?

Today, people have many options regarding skin care. On one side there are home remedies and basic skin care routines, while on the other side there are cosmetology treatments done in clinics. Dr. Navjot Arora, Consultant Dermatologist at Dermaheal Skin and Clinic, Dwarka, New Delhi. It is said that people often have a question in their mind that which of these methods is more effective and safe. According to him, as a dermatologist it is important to understand that both have their own roles and limitations.

Home remedies are helpful in keeping the skin healthy.

Home skin care usually involves using face wash, moisturizer, sunscreen, and sometimes home remedies like yogurt, turmeric, aloe vera, or rose water. These methods can help with basic skin care, moisture retention and minor problems like dryness or dullness. If followed correctly and regularly, home skin care is helpful in keeping the skin healthy.

But not effective in serious problems:

However, the biggest limitation of home remedies is that they are not very effective on deep or serious skin problems. In problems like acne scars, pigmentation, wrinkles, melasma or aging, home remedies alone do not provide the desired results. Sometimes excessive use of home remedies without knowledge can cause allergies, irritation or even infection in the skin.

Cosmetology treatment gives excellent results:

Cosmetology treatments are performed under the supervision of a dermatologist and are based on scientifically proven techniques. Options like chemical peels, laser treatments, microdermabrasion, Botox or fillers work on the deeper layers of the skin. Therefore, these treatments prove to be more effective in reducing pigmentation, acne scars, fine lines and the effects of age.

A major advantage of cosmetology treatments is that they are customized according to the individual’s skin type and problem. Treatments done after proper diagnosis and consultation are relatively safe and the results can be visible and long-lasting. However, these treatments can be expensive and it is important to follow proper after-care.

What is better?

In comparison, home skin care is important for everyday care and maintaining healthy skin, whereas cosmetology treatments are more effective in solving specific problems. Both should be considered complementary and not substitutes for each other. Without basic skin care, full benefits of cosmetology treatment are not available.

In conclusion, it can be said that home skin care is sufficient for mild problems and maintenance, but in case of long-standing or serious skin problems, consulting a dermatologist and getting cosmetology treatment is a more effective and safe option.
