People have been looking for alternatives to facelifts for years. Cosmetic and beauty products is an industry that topped over 45.4 BILLION in the U.S. alone last year, and that was in the midst of a serious recession. the same report shows that skin care will reportedly account for 60 percent of all cosmeceutical demand by 2010. I recently shared a blog post that showed that even cosmetic procedures were up this year. There is no doubt that people care about how they look and how they’re taking care of their skin. If you don’t believe, check out this article in Newsweek that shows exactly what the average beauty spending is ranging from tweens to adults.

Regardless of the numbers (I just wanted to make the point), I meet people who really care about their skin and face everyday. It’s not about vanity for many. It goes much deeper than that. But not everyone wants to undergo a facelift. Some don’t even need it. Instead, patients can seek other treatments in order to see results of a lighter, healthier complexion.

Marian Urban and I (she’s my medical aesthetician) have been looking into different options to serve the patients who come to me with this. We’re now incorporating the Obagi chemical skin peel. I’ve seen amazing results with this peel. Once the peel has been applied and removed (and you can apply in non-facial areas as well, such as the neck, arms…pretty much anywhere you have damaged skin), it typically heals between seven to ten days. The peel itself takes off layers of dead skin cells allowing for fresh ones to be seen. This improves the tone and clarity of the skin.

Because we’ve just introduced it into our office, we’re offering 20% off the procedure. Ask questions, talk about concerns, let me know your thoughts. And as always, feel free to call my office at 505.988.8886.

Also, we’re still giving away a free microdermabrasion session for anyone who comes in for IPL (laser hair removal treatment). It’s worth $750, so it’s definitely worth looking into.
