This is an example of the benefit to be had from a skin peel. This patient had a face lift followed by a skin peel about a month later. Dr. Denenberg, her surgeon, explained that wrinkles are not treated by a face lift. This surprised me and I think a lot of people think that's what a face lift does. To treat wrinkles, the skin itself needs to be treated, whereas a face lift focus on the part of the face underlying the skin. Most of the rejuvenation this patient received was from the skin peel. I think it looks amazing. Is she actually a happier person now? She looks like she is.
What kind of skin peel did she have? My guess would be either a 35% TCA peel, which is a medium peel, but should be done by a medical specialist, or a phenol peel, which is a deep peel, which really really has to be done by a doctor. My best guess is phenol, due to the level of improvement in the wrinkles.
