Cosmetic Surgeons Provide Professional Facial Skin Rejuvenation

Today there are tons of products on the market which claim to help your skin to appear younger and smoother than ever before. The basic idea behind facial rejuvenation is always the same - to make it appear fresher and brighter.

However, before making a go at using in-home products, you should know that plastic surgeons have been improving the look of the face for many years, and with great success, through a process of resurfacing.

This resurfacing allows your newer underlying layers to be revealed and your older, current surface to be removed. The result is a younger appearance with fresh, smooth, new skin visible and the older, damaged layers removed.

Cosmetic procedures such as dermabrasion, microdermabrasion, chemical peels, and glycolic peels can be performed in your plastic surgeon's office and are able to achieve much better, and safer, results than you can do at home for yourself.

Let's take a look at some of the most popular cosmetic procedures which can be used in the rejuvenation process:

Dermabrasion

Dermabrasion is the process of removing outer dermal layers through rubbing them off using a rapidly rotating device which is covered in diamond chips or special wires. Dermabrasion, when performed by a professional, carefully removes the outer layers leaving behind newer, fresher skin.

It is chiefly used for acne scars, deep wrinkles, and severe damage from the sun.

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is the process of removing the outer layers by blasting them off with a jet of micro crystals which is sprayed across the surface. The crystals are then vacuumed up to leave behind the newer, fresher skin.

This is mainly used for fine lines and on minor flaws and imperfections.

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels utilize a variety of chemicals including phenol, crouton oil, and trichloroacetic acid (TCA). These chemicals are used to slightly bun the outer layers in a very safe and controlled way by a skilled plastic surgeon. Depending on the concentration used, you get a variety of depth removal.

It can be less aggressive than the dermabrasion techniques.

Glycolic Peels

Glycolic peels are used to remove a very thin layer of the facial surface by applying a glycolic based solution. The result of a glycolic peel is similar to microdermabrasion, but it uses a chemical process rather than one of mechanical abrasion to remove the unwanted skin.

Healing Time

The healing time for cosmetic facial skin rejuvenation depends largely on your skin type and the procedure which is performed. Glycolic peels have very little healing time required, while some chemical peels or deeper layer dermabrasion may require up to a week or two to achieve maximum results and healing.

Your plastic surgeon can discuss healing times when you are deciding on which procedure is right for your needs.

Men and women of all ages can benefit from rejuvenation procedures performed in the office of a plastic surgeon. The first step is to understand your options and then to schedule an appointment for a consultation.

At your consultation appointment you can get a professional opinion of which option is the best for your unique skin care needs. Once you know what our options are, choose the right procedure and you are well on your way to having rejuvenated, younger-looking skin.

What is the American Board of Plastic Surgeons?

For those who are contemplating any surgical procedure involving cosmetic alterations, being well informed is a vital part to ensure that you lower your risks of complications. One of these things that you should know is that any doctor can take an extended weekend course and say that they are a plastic surgeon, but all that means is that a pediatrician or a gynecologist can say that they are a plastic surgeon just to make more money. In reality, you need to check with your plastic surgeon to determine if he or she has been certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.

In 1979, when plastic surgery began to become popular, as a means to ensure the safety of the patients, the American Board of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery was created as a corporation in the state of Delaware. It was a created in order to establish a set of practice guidelines to the standards and practices of plastic surgery all across the United States. They are a means to ensure that a plastic surgeon knows to a great degree, the concept and complications associated with plastic surgery as well as how to fix them.

Three years later in 1982, California created their own board which was called the Board of Cosmetic Surgery and was established for the same practical reasons that the Delaware corporation was created. Subsequently as a means to make things more universal especially due to the increasing number of practitioner all over the country, in 1990 the two companies merged together to create what is known now as the American Board of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.

Their goals are to maintain as well as achiever a higher standard in cosmetic surgery by the professionals who perform the procedures themselves. They also set out to create a methodical means of qualifying a surgeon in the cosmetic surgery industry. The American Board of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery also has set out to create a training standard on the industry as well as ensuring that all of their professionals abide by the laws that have been set forth by the proper authorities as a means to protect those who seek plastic surgery.

The American Board of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery is an important part of the cosmetic surgery industry as it ensures that the doctor who will perform your procedure knows what he or she is truly getting into as well as all the risks that may be involved. So please make sure to check if the doctor you are planning to do the procedure is qualified and certified by the American Board of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.
