The texture of my skin looks very rough, I think in part because I look like I have large pores. Can a chemical peel improve this?

A Chemical Peel and/ or Microdermabrasion can smooth the tone and texture of your skin. Both treatments work well with helping to minimize large pores.

Question:
What is a SMAS facelift?

Answer:
A facelift provides lifting and tightening to the skin of the lower face and neck. A major part of creating a natural and long lasting result is tightening the deeper muscle layers of the face. The SMAS (Superficial MuscluoAponeurotic System) is this deeper layer as well as its investing fascia. Lifting and tightening this layer is critical to a well done facelift.

Finding out if a facelift is right for you as well as which type begins with a consultation with a board certified facial plastic surgeon.

How would my skin feel to the touch after a chemical peel?

Answer:
After a chemical peel, skin feels sensitive to the touch, almost compared to a mild sunburn depending on the depth of the peel. This sensation usually subsides after approximately 24 hours. Post- peel creams can be used to minimize discomfort.

Question:
I have some minor redness from rosacea and a few broken blood vessels. Can Microdermabrasion improve this?

Answer:
Microdermabrasion is not indicated for treating rosacea and broken blood vessles. Microdermabrasion exfoliates and smoothes the skin. IPL would be the best treatment solution, this procedure is a light therapy targeting blood vessles and discoloration.
