FACELIFT OR PEELING?

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.

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.
The face is completely healed on the tenth day and with a bit of 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 combination 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.
