HOUSTON, TX -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 07/23/08 -- Houston plastic surgeon Dr. Michel Siegel provides spectacular results to patients with deep facial wrinkles, dark discoloration, or years of damage from sun exposure. He achieves these amazing transformations with deep phenol chemical peels which provide superior results to lasers.

According to Dr. Siegel, "Even the fractional lasers which promise a combination of exceptional results with no down time show only minimal improvement on patients with minor skin imperfections. Unfortunately, people with skin damage and deep wrinkles, from years of sun exposure do not really show any appreciable improvements after undergoing multiple of these fractional treatments."

The wrinkle eliminating power of phenol is, without a doubt, superior to those from other peels, laser or dermabrasion. Only one treatment is needed, and the results last decades.

The peel can be done regionally, around the eyes and/or mouth, or full-face. The phenol solution is prepared fresh to assure correct concentration and applied evenly with careful feathering at the edges.

Is everyone a candidate for phenol peels?

Dr. Siegel says, "For best results, you must have a lighter skin complexion and have coarse or deep wrinkles. Patients that are darker skinned or have wrinkles that are not so severe may be a candidate for more superficial skin peels. It is not uncommon for some patients to combine a face lift with a skin peel."

Because Phenol has inherent anesthetic properties, discomfort is minimized during application. However, it is essential that a phenol chemical peel be performed by a skilled, experienced plastic surgeon able to identify and minimize your risks and maximize positive results.

Dr. Michel Siegel is board certified by The American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. One of his newest publications include a chapter discussing phenol peels in "Simplified Facial Rejuvenation."
