24 Sep Deep Chemical Peel or Facelift?
A facelift is often considered the ultimate means of turning back the clock, but did you know that a deep chemical peel is so effective that it can serve as a facelift alternative? Dr. Schiedler of Oasis Eye Face and Skin is a board-certified oculofacial plastic surgeon specializing in medical and cosmetic treatments of the face.
When you’re considering dramatic treatments to make yourself look younger and healthier, only the best treatments and medical professionals will do. Dr. Schiedler attended the top programs in the country and can offer results from a deep chemical peel that otherwise can only be achieved with a facelift.
There Are Different Types Of Chemical Peels
There are many types of chemical peels, ranging from mild to deep. A deep chemical peel consists of a personalized blend of chemicals designed to penetrate deep into the skin while removing the upper layers. At the same time, the peel will encourage the body to increase its collagen production to help with skin cell turnover and healing.
Deep chemical peels usually peel for up to five days, and within two weeks you’ll enjoy skin that looks years and even decades younger. Wrinkles disappear, skin becomes taut and flawless, and even scarring can be diminished or removed.
Facelifts can achieve similar results, but they are of course a serious surgery. Incisions are required with a facelift, and although today’s facelifts feature incisions that are small and well-hidden, many patients still prefer to avoid them.
There is also a significantly longer downtime associated with facelifts compared to a chemical peel. Of course, there are also risks associated with facelifts or any surgery, and they can be easily avoided with a chemical peel.
Chemical Peel Benefits
There are many benefits to a chemical peel over a facelift, but one that many patients don’t realize is the results. While a facelift will, of course, tighten the skin and decrease wrinkles, this surgery doesn’t improve skin tone and texture. Acne scars will remain, as well as hyperpigmentation and any rough texture. Only a chemical peel can make a patient look several years younger and improve the quality of the skin.
