Full Face Chemical Peel
Cosmetic Concern: 55-year-old woman with fine wrinkles around the mouth. She is also bothered by the sun freckles, a general yellowing of her complexion, and the way her lipstick runs in the lines around the mouth. This is called lipstick bleed.
Diagnosis:
- Lower eyelid wrinkles.
- Upper lip wrinkles.
- Generalized sun damage.
Treatment: Full-face chemical peel.
Discussion: Her chemical peel was individualized and tailored to her needs. The lower eyelid and perioral area were peeled more deeply than the surrounding facial areas. The after picture was taken 7 years after her chemical peel. Dr. Steinsapir is a master chemical peeler. Thanks to his innovative approach, this peel can be comfortably performed under local anesthesia in the office procedure suite. Her skin was intact and ready for makeup 10 days after her chemical peel.
