What is a chemical peel? A chemical peel works by taking off the top layer of old skin to make room for new growth. A chemical peel is typically used to enhance the appearance and help skin glow. In some cases, a chemical peel can be used to remove pre-cancerous skin growths and soften acne facial scars. A chemical peel is a good option for people with mild, moderate, or severe facial aging.
How often should a facial be done? The amount of time between facials varies and is based on how fast the skin cycles through old and new skin cells. A facial removes damaged skin cells, making the face appear younger and youthful. After a facial, new skin begins to grow dull over time. Typically, one facial per month can help achieve healthy-looking skin.
Cosmetic Dermatology
What is an IPL photo facial? This type of facial uses Intense Pulsed Light that helps rejuvenate skin. This facial is good for photo-aged or sun-damaged skin. The facial helps reduce redness in the face as well as pore size and also decreases pigmented spots. Another reason to get an IPL photo facial is to improve fine lines and skin texture.
Is tattoo removal painful? Dr. Helliwell uses an Ellman Tri-Lase Q-Yag System to painlessly remove tattoos of all sizes and ink colors. If there’s a large or small tattoo that needs to be removed, this process may take up to nine treatments. This treatment works by breaking up the ink deposits in the skin with laser energy.
What are the types of cosmetic surgery? There are two plastic surgery options.
- Cosmetic procedures are the most common type of plastic surgery. These procedures help change the appearance or fix a problematic area. Cosmetic procedures may be invasive or non-invasive.
What are the possible risks of surgery? There will always be risks during surgical procedures. However, Dr. Helliwell will explain what to expect during the specific surgery. There will also be a conversation about what to do if these rare risks occur.
