Mole removal before or after Chemical Peel?

Posted by calvert 383 days ago Chemical peel Results
I would agree with Dr. Fechner that having the mole removed first, followed by the chemical peel 4-6 weeks later would be the rational approach. The idea is to allow the site of mole removal to heal fully before the peel. The scar and any pigmentation left by mole removal can be improved with the chemical peel. Read More

Different areas of the face and neck heal at varying rates, largely based on the thickness of the skin. Thicker skin of the nose or forehead may recovery much faster than the thin skin of the lower eyelids. Read More

Chemical peel - does it work for hyperpigmentation?

Posted by oswald 385 days ago Chemical peel Results
Absolutely! TCA or deeper chemical peels do very well to treat hyperpigmentation. Great care should be taken though as pigment irregularities and scarring can occur if not done by an experienced clinician with close follow-up.

After a chemical peel, it is very important to keep the area moist until the outer layer of skin has regenerated. Watch for evidence of infection and cold sores as these Read More

What should I expect after a Jessner's Peel?

Posted by oswald 385 days ago Chemical peel Results
A Jessner's peel is superficial and you should recover quickly. Peeling usually takes about 3-5 days and you won't be red for more than a week or two at most. TCA's usually depend on what concentration the TCA is. 10% is superficial and recovery is about the same or a little more that the Jessner's. 20% is a little deeper and can reach the papillary dermis and will require 5-7 days to peel. 30-3 Read More

How long before Chemical Peel scars/hyperpigmentation clears?

Posted by oswald 385 days ago Chemical peel Results
Bleaching creams are the best. Have used them for years to erase the pigmentation that can arise after peels. They work but you need a prescription of a high concentration of hydroquinone (6-8%) to do the job. Combined with cortisone and Retin-A, this formula called the Kligman formula ( Dr. Kligman developed Retin-A) is known to all dermatologists. It usually takes a couple of months to work.

Can cortisone, peels, or microdermabrasion affect Juvederm?

Posted by oswald 385 days ago Chemical peel Results
By your question I suspect you want to know if these procedures will get rid of some excess or lumpy Juvederm. Cortisone shots take away inflamation and swelling. You can get a little swelling from juvederm during the first 3-4 days. If the area is swollen from the juvederm injections then the cortisone will help bring the swelling down quicker if done during the first few days. If the juvederm l Read More
