NeoStrata® Glycolic Face Peel
|
Summary: NeoStrata® glycolic chemical face peel for skin renewal and rejuvination. |
|
Description:
The use of a glycolic solution (NeoStrata®) in aesthetic facial procedures, is the the application of a rejuvinating solution that causes the older, outer layers of the skin to loosen and eventually peel off. The newer, inner layers of regenerated skin is smoother and less wrinkled than the older skin. When we are young, our skin is soft, smooth, supple, and relatively thin. As age catches up, the skin thickens with the older, outer layers contributing to wrinkles & fine lines, hyperpigmentation, clogged pores and the resulting acne & acne-scarring. The application of a fruit acid, like the alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) used in the NeoStrata® skin rejuvination system (SRS), allows a physician to selectively remove these aged layers of skin, resulting in fewer wrinkles & fine lines, reduced pigmentation, unclogging of pores and thus less likelyhood of developing acne, and reduction in the prominance of acne-scarring. After the peel, the inner layers of skin remaining will regenerate, giving one the youthful looking glow of rejuvinated skin. |

Laser: a review. Fri, 24 Oct 2008 12:35:50 +0100 | Clinics in Dermatology Authors: Rinaldi F Lasers and light-based treatments are extremely useful and now standardized techniques in the management of different stages of photoaging. To obtain the most successful results, protocols involving single or combination systems can be used, depending on skin photodamage. In the last years, the trend is to choose noninvasive or minimally invasive treatments, with the aim of reducing the risk of side effects, complications, and downtime. Selective photothermolysis obtained with lasers and with intense pulse light, which is presently considered the most suitable technique by a growing number of authors, is an extremely valid procedure, in particular in types I and II, according to the Glogau classification. Photodynamic therapy is another effective tool in photoaging t...

The aim of this review is to present evidence for the use of techniques which can easily be incorporated into outpatient dermatology practice with low overhead expenditure. For this reason, laser and light-based treatments have been omitted. This review will instead focus on chemical peels, intradermal fillers and botulinum toxin.

The severity of melasma was assessed before, during, and after treatment with the melasma area and severity index (MASI). All patients were instructed to apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF>30 before sun exposure during treatment and for the 3-month follow-up period.

Sat, 01 Mar 2008 05:00:00 +0100 | Clinics in Dermatology Authors: Clark E, Scerri L The use of chemicals for facial rejuvenation has been explored since ancient times. A sound knowledge of skin anatomy and wound healing is important for understanding the principles of chemical peeling. Chemical peels are classified according to the depth of skin resurfacing produced. The main clinical indications in the cosmetic field are photoaging, dyschromias, and acne scars, which are classified according to the histologic depth of the clinical changes. Proper patient selection, skin priming, and postpeel care are of utmost importance in ensuring a satisfactory outcome. Chemical peels are combined with other rejuvenating treatments for best results in photoaging. PMID: 18472062 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Clinics in Dermatology) Chemical peels. Sat, 01 Mar 2008 05:00:00 +0100 | Clinics in Dermatology Authors: Landau M Chemical peels are important tools for skin rejuvenation. Their popularity is related to their versatility and relative simplicity. Chemical peels are classified as superficial, medium, and deep according to the depth of penetration of the peeling solution. The results of the procedure depend on the chemical used and its concentration, method of application, contact time, skin condition, preparation, etc. The depth of the peel determines the patient's inconvenience during and after the procedure, healing time, the rate of the potential side effects, and the results. In this article, we discuss the basic methods for skin peeling, the variety of chemicals used, the potential side effects, and how to avoid them.

Technology has obliged us with multiple injectable and light therapeutic modalities that tighten skin, relax and fill in wrinkles, and improve skin dyspigmentation and texture. When these techniques are combined, the results are superior to the use of individual therapies alone. The foundation for combination therapies are: botulinum toxin, filling agents, chemical peels, intense pulsed light, non-ablative and ablative lasers.

Refined methods yield outstanding efficacy with significantly fewer side effects as compared with the prototypical lasers of decades past. Despite these technologic refinements, the trend toward minimally invasive rejuvenation techniques has placed a substantial emphasis on the many nonablative modalities available to the practitioner.
