Chemical Peeling Vancouver has its Pros and Cons Too

As with just about everything in life chemical peeling Vancouver has its pros and cons too. I visited a friend last week who had just had chin augmentation surgery Vancouver and we were discussing the fact that every cosmetic surgery procedure has at least one negative point, usually involving some degree of discomfort!

The fact that she was happy with her chin augmentation Vancouver meant that she would consider further changes to her face and body and the next thing she was thinking about was having a chemical skin peel Vancouver, at a doctor’s office, as compared to at a spa.

Chemical peels Vancouver, or anywhere else for that matter, are available as different types and of varying strengths. The three main categories are home peels, spa peels and those performed by a doctor. All have their pros and cons and you need to see which one will meet your requirements.

Home Chemical Peel

Home chemical peels won’t give you the significant results you can get from professional chemical peels, but they can help your skin look brighter and fresher.  You can choose from salicylic acid, lactic acid, and glycolic acid chemical peels.
Pros: For most people, home chemical peels are safe and can make your skin look better. They’re also very affordable. Most cost under $50 and some are even under $20.

Cons: The results won’t be as significant as what you would get at a spa or doctor’s office.

Chemical Peels at a Spa

The professional chemical peels you get at a spa tend to be mild to medium peels, which can help you look brighter and fresher and help with wrinkles and scarring. How much skin is lifted away depends on the strength of the peel being used, how heavily the chemicals are applied to the skin, and how long the chemicals stay on the skin’s surface.

Pros: Light and medium peels are safe and fairly painless. You may only feel slight stinging or tingling from the chemicals. You can also leave the spa and go about your normal day after getting a light or medium chemical peel, but be sure to use sunscreen.

Cons: Because of the risk of scarring, experts don’t recommend getting a peel that’s higher than 50 to 60 per cent acid at a spa.

Chemical Peels at the Doctor’s Office

Dermatologists and plastic surgeons offer light, medium, and deep peels if you’re looking for a deep peel that will make your skin look significantly younger.

Pros: A trained doctor or surgeon will know what type of peels to use that are best for your skin tone, lowering your risk of complications like scarring, changes in pigmentation, or infection.

Cons: A doctor’s office will be the most costly option, depending on how deep a chemical peel you choose. A light peel may cost up to $300, while a medium peel may cost between $500 and $1,000 at a doctor’s office.

At the end of the day it is a personal choice deciding which chemical peels Vancouver will be the best for you.

Breast Reduction Surgery Vancouver has both Pros and Cons Attached

It seems that women are never satisfied with what they have; those with small breasts want them to be larger and those with large full breasts often want smaller breasts. That is why it is a good thing that we now have the option of plastic surgery to sort out these problems and so you will find that breast augmentation and breast reduction surgery are both on the increase.

Breast Reduction

During a breast reduction surgery Vancouver fat and skin are removed from the breasts. They are then reshaped into smaller breasts, and the nipple and areola are repositioned. The opposite procedure is called breast augmentation, or enlargement mammoplasty. A woman with large breasts who experiences back pain throughout her life may consider getting a breast reduction surgery Toronto, and other places. This would be done to alleviate back pain, as well as reduce her cup size considerably. The healing process could be lengthy, but may be worth it in the end. Complications could also arise, however, depending on the initial cup size and past health history.

Most breast reduction surgeons Vancouver are sure to explain to their breast reduction patients that they will have scarring, and some may have a decreased chance of breastfeeding or nipple sensation. However, many women feel these possible downsides are a fair trade-off, as excessively large breasts can cause pain, self-consciousness and clothing problems.

If you're considering breast reduction Toronto, you can expect breast fat and tissue to be removed through an incision around the areola, vertically down from the areola to the breast crease, or horizontal at the breast crease. Sometimes a combination of these incisions is needed to properly sculpt the breast into a smaller shape. The nipple, which usually remains attached to the nerve and blood supply, is repositioned, overall breast skin is reduced, and areola size is proportionally reduced.

Pros

There are several positive outcomes to breast reduction surgery, such as making women more confident about their bodies and increase self-esteem. Daily life and sports are also easier, as severe back pain is relieved. The procedure also reduces the pain and scarring bra straps can cause when they dig into the shoulder skin.

Cons

Breast reduction surgery Vancouver can also cause negative effects. There is always a chance for incision infections, as well as improper healing. The nipple area can become permanently numb, and breastfeeding infants can become more difficult, or even impossible. It is not recommended for underdeveloped girls to have the procedure done, as their breasts may continue to grow. There is also scar tissue that remains after healing is complete. The vertical line under part of the breast usually remains noticeable.

It is important to consider the pros and cons of breast reduction Vancouver, or breast reduction surgery anywhere else in the world, before having the procedure done. Some women have one breast that is much larger than the other and have reduction surgery strictly for cosmetic reasons but there are any number of other reasons for having a breast reduction Toronto, or wherever.
