Chemical Peels are a chemical solution, usually TCA (trichloroacetic acid) which is applied to the skin,causing the skin to blister and peel off over a period of 5-10 days. As the treated skin peels off, new more fresh skin replaces it.Chemical peels are a suitable procedure for facial rejuvenation and diminishing the effects of sun damage.Works best on fair , thin skin with superficial wrinkles.
Dermabrasion is a scraping of the top layers of the skin.This procedure softens edges of surface irregularities,including fine wrinkles and acne scars,especially around the mouth.The results are permanent, however new wrinkles may form as skin ages.
Restylane and Juvederm Utra are injectable gels used as soft tissue fillers to treat wrinkles and fill lips. Both are composed of hyaluronic acid a substance found in all living organisms. No allergy skin tests are required.
