Ever wonder who's getting plastic surgery? For the most part, it's women.

In fact, surgical procedures for women showed a modest annual increase of 2%, while they were down 8% for men.

People ages 35-50 years are the most likely to have a cosmetic procedure done, accounting for nearly half of procedures, compared with just 4% of people 65 and older. (Read more about Plastic Surgery, the Who and What of It)

Chemical Peels Story

Chemical Peels

There are three main types of peels. Light peels are most commonly performed using alpha hydroxyacids. These are naturally occurring acids found in fruits and other foods. Alpha hydroxyacids have proven to be effective in treating dry skin, acne, liver or sun spots, diminishing fine facial wrinkles, decreasing pore size, and improving skin texture. Light peels are usually performed in a series of six to eight peels, each peel two or three weeks apart. This type of peel leaves the skin with a red glow that only lasts for a day or so.

REVITALIZING AGING SKIN Story

REVITALIZING AGING SKIN

Skin is the largest organ of the body and needs to be taken care of. Find out what happens to the skin as it ages in this two-minute video clip. In addition to genetics, the sun and stress take their toll on the skin. As the person ages the cells divide more slowly and the inner layer, the dermis, begins to thin. And the ability of the skin to repair itself decreases. It loses its elasticity too. Glycolic acid peel exfoliates the dead layer and increases blood supply to the skin. Patients can use laser treatment to remove brown spots from their skin. (Read more about REVITALIZING AGING SKIN)
