Radiant, young-looking skin
Wild guess:
You want to keep looking as good as possible, even as you get older.
In the DailyComet.com, Dr. John J. Jones Jr., agrees:
“Most individuals are interested in looking their best,
and patients regularly ask for guidance in facial-skin rejuvenation.
There are many services, procedures and products today
that claim to remarkably improve one’s skin and restore that youthful look.”
At our medspa, we recommend you follow a customized skin care regimen.
In Dr. Jones’ words: “I have found the most successful treatment
is a combination of chemical peels, microdermabrasion,
… and a tretinoin cream or gel.”
You can achieve skin that
- looks younger
- is firmer and tighter
- has fewer lines, wrinkles and discolorations
1. The Peel
“Chemical peeling is used to treat fine lines and wrinkles caused by sun damage,
aging and hereditary factors. In addition, pigmentation of the skin
in the form of sunspots, age spots, freckles and blotchiness
can be improved with this process.
An effective professional treatment is … (a peel to remove) unwanted damaged skin.
The chemical solution actually causes the upper layer of skin to exfoliate,
allowing new skin to regenerate.”
2. Post Treatment Home Care
“Post-peel treatment will enhance the results of your chemical peel.
It is very important that you wear sunblock after the deeper peels —
since the new skin is fragile and more susceptible to injury —
and that you use a tretinoin-based gel or cream on a regular basis.
The tretinoin cream or gel is a vitamin A derivative approved
for reducing the appearance of fine wrinkles, mottled darkened spots and roughness in skin.”
He is a an assistant professor at Louisiana State University Medical Center in New Orleans.
