The Women's Place performs in 3 different types of chemical peels. The most basic is the superficial, then we have a medium and a deep peel. Deep peels produce the most dramatic results. This peel is recommended for treating wrinkles, scars and blemishes and in some cases, precancerous skin lesions.
A deep peel targets the dermis. In some cases, anesthesia is required during the procedure to reduce the warm to hot stinging sensation. There is little or no discomfort following the peel. After a deep peel, the area is swollen and red and can result in some swelling and blistering. A crust may form and the skin will turn brown just prior to peeling. Many layers of the skin will peel over a period of one to two weeks. An ointment may be given to keep the area moist. The new skin will have the color and sensation of significant sunburn, which will gradually fade to your normal skin color.

"My VASER Lipo treatment was so much better than I thought it could be! Following my 2:00 pm surgery on multiple sites, I was able to attend my chemistry class that evening, then went home and did the laundry! I kept waiting for the pain, but it didn't come — I didn't have to take any pain medication, and noticed very little bruising. I love it!"
– Khang (CA)
"My overall results are amazing! I love having a flat stomach, thinner thighs and a more sculpted chin and neck. If I had to do it all over again, I would without hesitation."
– Alicia (CO)
"I never liked my neck. It went from the tip of my chin straight down to my collar bone — like a turkey's neck. In every picture, I appeared to have a double or triple chin. I decided to have the procedure done to not only look better, but to feel better. I had little pain and minimal discomfort following the procedure, and I am thrilled with the results! I look and feel 10 years younger, and my friends and family agree. The change is dramatic, yet subtle. I feel wonderful!"

Juvéderm®
Hylaform PicJuvéderm® gel is a sterile, clear, colorless dermal (skin) filler gel implant made of chemically modified hyaluronic acid derived from avian (bird) source. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance found in the fluids surrounding cells and tissues. It is chemically, physically and biologically similar in the tissues of all species. Juvéderm® gel is made from highly purified natural hyaluronic acid that is gradually absorbed by your body through natural mechanisms.
What is Juvéderm® gel used for?
The gel is injected into skin tissue for correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds (such as nasolabial folds).
Where does Juvéderm® gel come from?
The gel is produced from materials of avian (bird) origin and contains extremely small amounts of avian protein. Because of this, you should speak to your physician and you should not use Juvéderm® gel if you have any known allergies to avian protein.
How does Juvéderm® gel work?
Juvéderm® gel is injected just beneath the skin surface temporarily adding volume to the layers of the skin that have deteriorated due to age and other factors. The gel, when injected, is used to raise depressions in the skin, providing temporary correction of wrinkles and folds.
