Sando Jones Aker Cosmetic • Plastic Surgery has a full skin care service line available to work with you before and after surgery. Specially trained and working in partnership with your plastic surgeon, our Skin Care Specialist can offer you a wide range of services extending from facials, chemical peels, and microdermabrasion to camouflage make-up and cosmetic selection.
Fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth and on the forehead and cheek areas may be improved with a wide range of skin treatments. For enhancing the overall texture of the skin, there are gels, creams and lotions, including Retin-A and products containing alphahydroxy acids, which your plastic surgeon may prescribe for at-home use.
Chemical peels of varying strengths can be applied in your surgeon's office or operating facility. A chemical peel solution is applied to the entire face or to specific areas, such as around the mouth, to peel away the skin's top layers. Light chemical peels are increasingly popular and can help correct a variety of skin problems. For properly selected patients, several light to medium-depth peels can often achieve results that are similar to one deeper peel treatment, with less risk and shorter recovery time.
Either a deeper chemical peel or dermabrasion-a procedure in which a high-speed rotary wheel, similar to fine-grained sandpaper, is used to abrade the skin-may be recommended for extensive sun damage, wrinkling or pockmarks. Skin resurfacing using a carbon dioxide laser is another technique used to reduce wrinkles, improve skin texture and achieve some degree of skin tightening.
A few days following a deep peel, dermabrasion or laser skin resurfacing, a new skin emerges that is a bright pink, resembling an intense sunburn. This color will fade over several months and may be covered with makeup. Permanent pigment changes, usually lighter in color, may occur with some treatments, and your skin may also appear shinier.
Postoperative puffiness usually subsides within a few days, but your skin will remain sensitive. Avoid strenuous activities and exposure to sunlight for the first few weeks, and use a sunblock when going outdoors.
The selection of skin care products is very important. Proper conditioning and ongoing skin care will enhance your natural beauty and your surgical result. Sando Jones Aker Cosmetic • Plastic Surgery offers Jan Marini Skin Research products which are only available under medical supervision.
