Chemical Peel: Q&A
Ask a Question
Can Anyone Recommend a Doctor in NY Who Performs Deep Chemical Peels, Particularly Phenol/Hetter?
Many doctors are using lasers instead but I read that w/chemical peel, results improve over time and have read reviews about lasers that either didn't work or caused long-term damage. Where can I find a NY Dr. to do a deep peel? Does a deep chemical peel result in some tightening? Also, the B & A photos for older women are far more dramatic..is it worth waiting till wrinkles are deep or can having this procedure earlier prevent/delay deep wrinkle onset later. I am 45 with fair, thin skin. Thanks

The one doctor who was a genius with the phenol peel retired years ago, Dr. Samuel Mandel. I had a peel done by him for acne scars at age 32 , 25 years ago, and the results were amazing. I tried to get my eyes redone recently, and did not get good results. Will probably go to the cosmetic surgery center in Worcester Mass with a friend. Lasers give only modest results and keep needing repeat treatments, don't waste your money.
