Before

After

"This patient is shown before and after correction of gynecomastia. Please also note he had extensive pigmentation around his breasts that was removed over the course of 3-4 months by use of skin lightening creams ONLY."

 

THE TYPICAL PATIENT

  • Desire for skin bleaching.
  • Desire for lighter and more even color to the skin of the face, neck, chest, hands and arms.
  • Focusing on dark blotches, age spots, dark spots, dark and irregular coloration.
  • Features of coarseness and some wrinkles can often be improved as a bonus.
  • Also related to sun damage, and other effects of the maturing process.

THE PROCEDURE

  • There is no anesthesia, surgery, incisions, pain, time off work, or interference with your lifestyle.
  • The procedure involves the aggressive and custom use of creams containing Retin-A, hydroquinone, glycolic acids, and sunscreens. This is completely doctor supervised and customized to your skin condition, lifestyle, and how fast you want improvement.
  • You can do this with a mild, moderate or aggressive approach. No time off work is necessary.
  • This can be combined with other plastic surgical procedures.
  • There is no pain, swelling, or bruising. Some redness, mild irritation, and flaking of the skin is seen early on and lasts a few days to two weeks. This is easily controlled with creams.
  • You will need to stop all other skin care products while on this bleaching program. These can be resumed later.
  • Makeup can be applied immediately.
  • You can continue all of your daily activities, even sun-related activities, as normal. A special sun block is required.

THE RESULT

  • Beautiful, balanced and even color and pigmentation to the treated areas.
  • Definite improvement in the texture and smoothness, and some softening of wrinkle lines.
  • Lasts the rest of your life as long as you use the products and always looks better than if you didn't do it.
  • Does not interfere with your lifestyle, work, and most sun activities.

We recommend a thorough and customized skin consultation in our office where we have a special interest and expertise in administering chemical peels. The consultation is necessary in understanding your skin type and developing the correct treatment plan for you.
