Combining Microdermabrasion and Light Chemical Peels

I
do think that a combination of microdermabrasion and chemical peels offers a
great solution for skin rejuvenation. However, there are other combinations
that may work for you too: laser resurfacing plus BOTOX® Cosmetic and a dermal
filler, or chemical peels plus rejuvenating facials, and so on. Really the list
is virtually endless. Regardless of the specific treatments, a combination
approach will definitely give you more comprehensive results than one treatment
on its own. Find a cosmetic surgeon who will work out a long-term treatment
plan for you that will address your particular needs (sun damage, frown lines,
uneven skin tone, etc.), ensuring that you’re getting the right
product/treatment for the right concerns.

Great question! I swear by medical grade HydraFacial that does extractions, exfoliation/ hydro-dermabrasion, anti-aging and antibacterial LED light therapy, peels, etc while adding boosters and antioxidants to your skin. Since I am a physician my practice does medical grade HydraFacial. I get a medical grade Platinum HydraFacial myself every 2-3 weeks and my skin shows why I commit to it. As a medical doctor my practice is able to do up to a 30% salicylic acid peel instead of a 7.5% peel at spas. It makes all the difference in the world! Plus we can use specific medical grade boosters if you have sun spots or hyperpigmentation of different types. I treat my Rosacea and Melasma patients with this as well. This one treatment does it all, and then they go home with my anti-aging skincare that includes Bawa Medical Hydroquinone pads, Vitamin C serum, all trans Retinol and SPF 50 physical sunscreen. (Love this question! Can you tell?!)

My chemical peel of choice is the MelaPeel to rejuvenate the skin and reduce pigmentary discoloration in patients on their hands, legs, and face. Raffy Karamanoukian, Los Angeles
