Pennsylvania Juvederm Cosmetic Centers

Many cosmetic surgery centers in Pennsylvania perform the procedure of Juvederm.
If you are not familiar with Juvederm, it is the process where hyaluronic acid is injected into problem areas to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The downside is that the effects are temporary but then again, the benefit is that the procedure is fairly simple.

Here is a partial list of Pennsylvania Cosmetic Surgery Centers that perform Juvederm:

If you are in Eastern Pennsylvania, the Columbus & Perfections Lasers service Harrisburg, Wilkes-Barre, and the Philadelphia areas.

In the Shanti Medical Spa is a cosmetic surgery facility near Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. Also in the Pittsburgh area is the Skin Center with offices in Mt. Lebanon, Wexford and Shadyside.

Make sure you fully research the cosmetic surgery procedure and your choices of Pennsylvania cosmetic surgeons before choosing to undergo any procedure including Juvederm.

Chemical Peel Procedures in Pennsylvania Part 2

Pennsylvania Cosmetic Surgery: Chemical Peel – Part II


The second tier of chemical peel is the middle level. Also known as Trichloroacetic acid peels, this type of chemical peel is stronger than the first tier of chemical peel. Depending the concentration of Trichloroacetic acid, deeper exfoliation will occur with a higher concentration. Of course too much will permanently damage skin so this chemical peel should be performed by a qualified Pennsylvania Cosmetic Surgeon.

Usually this method is used to fix fine lines and wrinkles and fix blemishes. Like the alpha hydroxy chemical peels, reapplication may be necessary to maintain the new look. Because this acid is a bit more harsh, a few days may be needed to recover from the procedure.

The new skin that is revealed will be very sensitive to the sun so liberal use of sunblock is absolutely necessary.

The third tier of chemical peel is known as a Phenol Peel and the results are evident for a long time. Typically only one treatment is necessary. However, anesthesia is usually required. Because this treatment is the harshest of the three tiers it is also quite painful, carries the most risks, and gives the best looking results. Recovery after the chemical peel can be as long as one month. This procedure is often used to correct more substantial blemishes like deeper wrinkles and skin damage.

The Phenol Peel itself is made up of phenol and croton oil. This oil is said to be the key ingredient in this chemical peel.

While the results of the tier three chemical peel are dramatic – and very tempting, persons with pre-existing medical conditions carry some risks. Pennsylvania Cosmetic Surgery stresses the importance of reviewing your entire medical history with your Pennsylvania Plastic Surgeon and make an educated decision.
