Your skin is the one organ you can have hands on care. Beautiful skin is obtainable by everyone. There are now revolutionary Skin Care procedures out that will strip away the dead layers of skin and rejuvenate the underlying supporting structures of your skin to give you that fresh new look you had in your youth. Your Plastic Surgeon recommend to you the right brand of skin treatment for your individual skin type to achieve the ultimate results.

Chemical peel utilizes a chemical solution designed to provide improvement and a smoother facial skin texture by removing its damaged outer layers. This procedure is also useful for treating facial blemishes, wrinkles and uneven skin pigmentation. Although a chemical peel procedure may be performed in conjunction with a facelift, it is not a substitute for such surgery, nor will it prevent or slow the aging process.

Dermabrasion is a procedure that can enhance your appearance and provide a boost to your your self-confidence, but remember that this procedure will not remove all scars, skin flaws nor will it prevent aging. Before you decide to have a skin-refinishing treatment, carefully consider your expectations and discuss them with your surgeon. Men and women of all ages can experience a benefit from a dermabrasion procedure. Although older people heal more slowly, more important factors are your skin type, coloring, and medical history. For example, black skin, Asian skin, and other dark complexions may become permanently discolored or blotchy after a skin-refinishing treatment. People who develop allergic rashes or other skin reactions, or who get frequent fever blisters or cold sores, may experience a flare-up. If you have freckles, they may disappear in the treated area.

Chemical peels use a solution to improve and smooth the texture of facial skin by removing its damaged outer layers. Skin type and color, ethnic background, and age are important factors to be discussed prior to surgery. Some cosmetic surgeons work together with industry skin experts who bring over 25 years of experience to your treatment. Recovery time, depending on the nature of the chemical is from one to four weeks.

Traditional Blepharoplasty: An incision is made in the crease of the upper lid toward the temples. Once healed, it is not noticeable when the eye is open. On the lower lid, the incision is made along the lash line toward the temples, and is hidden by lashes when healed.
The Transconjunctival Approach: This is a newer technique for blepharoplasty, involving an incision inside the lower lid. Fat can be removed through this incision, but excess skin cannot be eliminated.
