The eyes are one of the key elements defining facial beauty; they play an important role in social communication and expression. With aging, fat tissue around the eyes lowers or disappears, relaxing the muscles and therefore excess skin appears in the upper or lower eyelids. This can be treated with surgical blepharoplasty for reshaping the area. However, deep peel can be the best alternative treatment for this area as it is also giving a lifting effect through the new extracellular matrix synthesis, such as collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. This is why Lip & Eyelid is called as 3D effect lifting.

 

Another strategic area for face rejuvenation is undoubtedly the lip. The most visible aging sign on the lip is the wrinkles on the upper lip, and deep peel is one of the most efficient treatments for long lasting effect for removing these wrinkles.

 

In order to minimize the post peel procedure of full face treatment, Lip & Eyelid permits to treat locally those strategic areas for giving an outstanding result for skin rejuvenation.

 

Prepeel conditioning

Before the peeling session, it is recommended to prepare your skin, in order to prevent any side effect, applying Aclaranse serum followed by the sun protection Melablock-HSP SPF 50+ in the morning, then Aclaranse serum followed by Blending Bleaching Cream in the evening, during 2-3 weeks.

 

Herpes prevention

In case of a history, take Valacyclovir twice per day from 3-4 days before to 3-4 days after peeling treatment.

 

About pain…

When a full face phenol peel is realized, a neuroleptanalgesy (eventually in association with nerve blocks, if you are sensitive) is a must. The anesthetist is in charge of vital and pain parameters, when the doctor concentrates on the application details. At the end of the neuroleptanalgesy, you can feel a hot inflammatory pulsatile uncomfortable sensation that will last during average 8 hours after the peel. After this episode, the post peel period should not be painful anymore. Paracetamol can be used, if you are uncomfortable. Recurrence of pain after day 1 should be considered as a symptom of a potential side effect.

 

During the treatment…

After removing makeup, the practitioner disinfect and degrease your skin, then the peeling starts.

The session will take 100mn.

 

The 1st night after peeling

It is necessary to keep the occlusion mask for 24h, and you have to sleep half sitting, as you are not allowed to press the treated skin against any surface (pillow, i.e.). In case the treated area stick to the pillow, there is risk of infection, scarring, prolonged erythema, etc. In any case of doubt, your practitioner will give you correct instruction.
