Beverly Hills Chemical Peel
By admin | June 15, 2009
Chemical peels whether in Beverly Hills or other cities, remain when done using aggressive techniques, the most successful of all processes to remove wrinkles, fine lines and age spots. The deep chemical skin peel using phenol has been a particular favorite of mine for nearly 40 years. I had the opportunity to study with the great masters of the technique both in Chicago where I trained in my residency at the University of Illinois and here in Los Angeles as a student and protégé of Jack P. Startz, MD. Dr. Startz was one of the world’s great skin peelers and I was very fortunate to have studied at his side.
Before/After of Dr. Kotler's chemical peel patient.
Chemical skin peel which is also known as a chemical facelift, is in fact the chemical wrinkle line removal process. The acid-like prescription which is prepared individually for each patient is painted onto the skin and over a period of five days, the outer layers of skin literally sloughs off revealing fresh new pink skin underneath.
The procedure is done under an anesthetic in a licensed outpatient surgery center. I always have a doctor anesthesiologist administer the anesthetic. The postoperative recovery period is also very important. All our patients stay in a professional post cosmetic surgery recovery facility for two nights. Following that period, dressings are removed and the remainder of the skin care is done at home for the next three days.
One week after the procedure, the fresh new pink, wrinkle-free, smooth and youthful skin is present. Now it is appropriate to use camouflage and cosmetics such that one can return to normal work and activities typically at two weeks after the procedure has been performed.
