FACELIFT OR PEELING?
Aging is a biological process. We
know that certain factors accelerate it such as: sunlight, tanning
beds, smoking, improper use of makeup and dehydration of the skin.
Fortunately, the plastic surgeon can help.
Facial aging is found in three forms:
- Skin and muscle sagging;
- Loss of elasticity in the skin;
- Thinning of the skin caused by lack of subcutaneous fat.
These three aging symptoms can not be solved with just one procedure.
The facelift is the most common procedure for collapsed tissue.
Deep wrinkles, creases, and groves found on the face and neck
can thus be eliminated.
The resurfacing method is the chosen procedure when dealing with
shallow wrinkles, brown spots, sun damage, damage caused by smoking,
and acne scars. The laser or a buffered peel called the Tel-Aviv
mask is used for the procedure.
Lipostructure is a procedure in which your own fat is transplanted
into areas where thinning has occurred.
Thinning is normally found under the eyes, on the cheeks, and
the upper and lower lips.
MODERN METHODS OF RESURFACING
Wrinkles and
loss of elasticity found especially around the eyes and mouth,
leave the skin with a dull, unhealthy appearance. There are several
resurfacing methods to correct this form of skin damage: laser,
mechanical dermabrasion or chemical peeling.
The best approach is to treat the whole face. Deep peelings used
on only crowsfeet or wrinkles on the upper lip, often result in
a color difference with the untreated part of the face.
LASER OR TEL-AVIV MASK?
In Israel, bio-chemical
research has developed a skin peeling based on Phenol.
A special buffer neutralizes the Phenol as it reaches the reticular
dermis.
As opposed to the laser method, this method recognizes the different
levels of the epidermis found on several parts of the face.
The epidermis located in the region around the nose
is much thicker than that around the eyes. This also applies for
other regions of the face. The Tel-Aviv mask peels exactly down
to the reticular dermis. Therefore, the epidermis is eliminated
with utmost precision. With this exactness the results are uniform.
With other peeling methods problems such as irregularity,
discoloration and burning are quite common. This is because the
peeling is often applied too deep or not deep enough. With the
laser method the specialist determines the depth of treatment,
however; it is never as precise as the Tel-Aviv buffer. With the
laser the results are always dependent upon the experience of
the specialist. But even with the most experienced specialist
complications still occur.
Here at the Wellness Kliniek
the Tel-Aviv mask is used more and more in
preference to the laser.
A combination of the Tel-Aviv mask and a facelift.
The Tel-Aviv mask is perfect for the elimination of brown spots,
wrinkles found on the face, and grooves on the upper lip.
TEL-AVIV PEELING
The procedure:
During an overnight
hospital stay, four masks are applied to the face. The treatment
for the first day is a peeling mask and a zinc oxide plaster mask.
On the second day, two more masks are used. The last one, a powder
mask, becomes very hard and remains on the face for seven days.
On the eighth day the mask is removed. Upon removal the face is
red and swollen but wrinkles and irregularities are gone.
On the tenth day, and with a bit of camoufllaging makeup, you
can go outside. During the summer months we advise you to use
sunscreen with a high protection factor.
After 15 years the effects
of the Tel-Aviv mask are still noticeable.

"No general anesthesia but instead
intravenous sedation"
The technology and progress made in
sedation has helped make extensive
cosmetic procedures possible without
the side effects of general anesthesia.

HARMONIOUS FACIAL REJUVENATION:
a combinatin of facelift, Tel-Aviv mask
and lipofilling.
Most of these procedures can be combined in one
session. A skin rejuvenation treatment can be followed up in a
second phase following a deep facelift. Lipofilling combines perfectly
with either a facelift or the Tel-Aviv mask.
