O' NEIL SKIN REJUVENATION VERSUS CONVENTIONAL SKIN PEELS

At the O'Neil Skin and Lipo Medical Center we specialize in cosmetic treatment of the skin. Various types of skin peels are offered as well as the O'Neil Skin Rejuvenation program. By concentrating on one area of expertise, Dr. O'Neil has elevated skin rejuvenation to a different plane. With over 9000 cases behind him, we feel our skin treatments are second to none in quality, safety and results. It is a credit to his success and recognition in the medical field that other physicians frequently come to him for advice and training on this procedure. In fact, Dr. O'Neil has lectured on his methods at both cosmetic surgery and dermatology conventions. Simply put, he does more of these procedures and is better at them. When comparing physicians and treatments, ask the doctor how many of these procedures he has done and how often he performs them. Dr. O'Neil's extraordinary results are the culmination of 27 years of experience in skin rejuvenation. Inexperience just increases complications and problems.

The results from O'Neil Skin rejuvenation vary dramatically from conventional skin peels. The quality of the new skin is better and more natural. Skin peels often leave the skin with a waxy, artificial look. The new skin can be tougher and harder. This is a result of poor technique, or lack of. The skin must be cared for during the"healing phase" in a specific way in order to allow the new skin to grow in healthy and natural. During the healing phase, clients are fed a specific diet designed to promote healing and cell growth. Specific vitamins, minerals and food supplements are recommended.

Have you ever wondered how they grow such beautiful plants at the nursery and how difficult it can be for you to do the same thing at home, even with the same seeds and young plants? They are specialists in horticulture; they know what fertilizers to give, when and how much. They know what lighting is best for a particular development and how much water is proper. Too little and the plant may die, too much and it be weakened, possibly leaking to parasitic takeover. They also know how to protect it from particular bugs that might attack it. This is what we try to do for you with our complete program. After most skin peels you are sent home to recuperate on your own. Are you an expert at post peel care? Is your doctor? The recovery phase of the peeling process is every bit as important as the treatment itself.

Skin tone and color are also better with O'Neil Skin rejuvenation as compared to other types of deep skin peels. Dr. O'Neil often works with darker skin types such as Asian or Hispanic skin. These skin types are definitely more difficult to work with than fair Caucasian skin, and less experienced physicians are often afraid to work with them. O'Neil Skin Rejuvenation will alter the natural skin tone very little. While the tan is removed, leaving the skin slightly lighter than before, the natural color remains.

Most skin peels are designed to improve skin damage. Some even improve fin wrinkles. O'Neil Skin rejuvenation is designed to remove deep lines and wrinkles. It also tightens the skin in a way few skin peels do. This "tightening of the skin" results in a younger, fresher look, and leads to a longer lasting result. We will compare our results with any other skin peel, laser peel or dermabrasion treatment and are confident that our improvement will be greater.

O'Neil Skin rejuvenation also includes mole and wart removal. Dr. O'Neil uses a high frequency electronic device, which is extremely sharp and literally shaves the mole from the skin. After peeling, the area where the mole was is often undetectable! Pores are cleaned and blackheads removed.

Precancerous skin lesions are also removed. Instead of leaving a scar, as with more conventional methods, there is just fresh skin. So if you are tired of visiting your dermatologist for burning and cutting sessions, this might be the treatment for you. O'Neil Skin rejuvenation not only removes the visible surface lesions but also the deeper invisible lesions that may be showing up next year.

Have you noticed the little broken capillaries in your skin? They are frequently found in women in the upper check area and by the sides of the nose. They are called telangiectasia and are a result of normal aging skin. They are aggravated by the sun exposure, alcohol, smoking, and physical trauma such as pinching a pimple. Conventional peels offer little improvement. They may even worsen them. O'Neil Skin rejuvenation will improve and reduce those fine blood vessels that are visible at the time of treatment. Future telangiectasia (fine blood vessels) treatments may be necessary, as the peel will not eliminate this forever.

The technique Dr. O'Neil uses in the skin rejuvenation program, have been refined over the past 27 year. They differ significantly from those used by other physicians. His formula, while using medically accepted chemicals, has been modified to produce superior results in skin tightening. It penetrates the skin better than other deep peel solutions while causing less burning of the surface skin. This results in a gentler peel but better wrinkle removal.

Some doctors have the patients use a preparatory program of creams and scrubs for seeks or months before the peel – others use nothing. The skin preparation is an extremely important part of any skin rejuvenation treatment, according to Dr. O'Neil. At Dr. O'Neil's center, the preparation of the skin is done immediately before the procedure, while the patient is asleep. It is extremely important to assure an even skin tone and good penetration of formula so the skin tightening is maximized. Most doctors spend little or no time on skin preparation before treatment. This is like painting an old house without cleaning the dirt and old paint of first. The result would be a poor quality paint job, uneven in areas and it would tend to chip after a short time. It wouldn't last! The skin preparation is just as important to ensure a good peel result. The skin contains fats and oils. The purpose of this is to keep things from penetrating the skin. They must be removed to obtain the proper penetration that leads to skin tightening and they must be removed completely to ensure even skin tone and color! This is why we spend so much time on this phase of our treatment at our center.

Another part of our preparatory treatment is microdermabrasion to the skin to remove the hard layer of surface skin. This allows for better penetration of our rejuvenation formula.

The peeling technique also differs. Most doctors, more or less, generally paint the solution onto the skin. Dr. O'Neil uses a formula that is milder than most deep skin peeling formulas. He rubs and scrubs it into the skin over a longer period of time. This leads to a milder peel, better skin tightening.

Finally the skin is treated with ultra sound to push formula into the dermis (deeper skin) where it can move effectively and produce collagen for tightening.

A good aftercare program is important to any procedure. Dr.O'Neil has designed a program, to make every effort for your comfort and healing to be maximized. Would you like to be healing away from prying eyes, where specially trained staff, take care of you? The options will be discussed when booking your procedure.

Comfort is important to most patient after the procedure. Most medium to deep skin peels are frankly painful to recuperate form. The O'Neil Skin Rejuvenation program is designed to minimize pain. It does this several ways. First, an intravenous anesthetic is used to keep the patient sedated and minimize pain during the procedure. The patient is recovered at the office by the nursing staff and then sent to the aftercare facility. The facility monitors them closely for the first 12 to 14 hours. After that, patients move about freely while healing continues. Patients are also issued other medication to reduce itching or help them sleep while at the retreat. There is minimal pain as compared to conventional peels.
