How Do Chemical Peels Work?

Monday, February 15th, 2010

BeautyFaceChemical peels are one of the most effective methods for achieving smoother, younger-looking skin. They work by gently removing the outer layer of skin to reveal a brighter, clearer complexion. There are three levels of chemical peels:

  • Light chemical peels include glycolic, lactic, and fruit acid peels which improve the texture of sun-damaged skin, diminish fine lines, and balance out skin pigmentation. Because these types of chemical peels are the mildest available, they can be repeated on a regular basis to achieve the desired results with as little down time as possible.
  • Medium depth chemical peels use trichloroacetic acids (TCA) to treat surface wrinkles, moderate sun damage, and uneven pigment changes. Medium depth chemical peels require about a week of recovery time before patients can resume using makeup.
  • Deep chemical peels (phenol peels), go to the deepest level of the skin to treat coarse wrinkles and blotchiness and deep vertical lip lines. Because it can cause permanent lightening of the skin, this type of chemical peel is not recommended for those with dark skin tones.

Top Treatments for Glowing Winter Skin

Monday, January 25th, 2010

winterface

Clean, radiant skin is definitely in this winter. But how do you get your skin to look luminous, even when the weather is cold, dry and unforgiving? Try these effective treatments:

1. Chemical peels are quick “lunchtime” procedures that are great for smoothing acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles. Peels work by removing layers of damaged skin to reveal a smoother complexion and a younger appearance.

2. Microdermabrasion with the DiamondTome™ Resurfacing system is a gentle, yet effective skin resurfacing tool that restores your skin’s radiance. Instead of using abrasive particles to treat the skin, the aesthetician uses a special DiamondTome that uses a diamond tipped wand to resurface skin so you look younger and more refreshed without the irritation of exfoliating particle treatments.

For more information about chemical peels or microdermabrasion, schedule your consultation today by calling 417-887-FACE.

TOP 5 Anti-Aging Skin Treatments

Wednesday, November 4th, 2009

TopFiveTreatmentsFrom wrinkle fillers to hair removal, here are the top five non-surgical treatments*:

  1. BOTOX®—Reduces facial lines and wrinkles, and is a safe and effective way to diminish the appearance of facial wrinkles with minimal side effects.
  2. Hyalauronic acids—Restylane, Perlane and Juvederm are non-animal based hyaluronic dermal fillers which provide patients with restored skin volume and fullness while correcting moderate to deep facial wrinkles and folds.
  3. Chemical Peels—Restores a more youthful appearance to wrinkled, unevenly pigmented, sun-damaged, and blotchy skin.
  4. Laser Hair Removal—The laser pulses for a fraction of a second, just long enough to travel down the hair shaft to the end of the hair follicle. This process will eliminate or greatly impede hair growth.
  5. Microdermabrasion—By exfoliating dead skin cells, microdermabrasion creates smoother, healthier skin in about 30 minutes.
