Facial Procedures

We specialize in surgical and non-surgical options for improving your appearance.

New!
We are now equipped with the new Quadra Q4 system by Dermamed USA, Inc. The Quadra Q4 is an Intense Pulse Light System that is similar to a laser but has the advantage of generating light with multiple wavelengths. As opposed to a true laser, Quadra Q4 has the versatility to treat a variety of conditions such as age spots, spider veins, photodamage of the skin, and hair removal. One of the most attractive features of the Quadra Q4 is there is no down time for the patient.

Our office also is offering RESTYLANE, an exciting new filling agent for treatment of facial wrinkles. The advantage of Restylane over collagen is there is no skin testing and it lasts six months or longer.

Facial Peels in Anaheim, Fullerton and Hacienda Heights
We offer a variety of chemical facial peels, ranging from glycolic acid peels to trichloroacetic acid, which is the active agent used in the "Blue" peel. Patients who desire a chemical peel in Anaheim may have noticed the effects of age, gravity, exposure to sunlight, and the stresses of life all taking their toll on a person's face. A chemical peel will help to smooth the skin, cover blemishes, and reduce wrinkles. Such factors may improve an individual's confidence, leading them to seek their own Chemical Peel in Anaheim, Fullerton and Hacienda Heights.

A chemical peel can help such individuals restore youthful vibrance and energy to the face. The effects of time are reduced to restore an individual's face and to remove many of the effects of time and aging. DR. Lim accomplishes such effects by applying the procedure best suited to the needs of your face. This not only helps to restore the physical appearance of the patient, but also restores self-confidence and respect to the patient.

A chemical peel is a very individualized procedure in which your goals should be realistically determined and discussed with your physician in Alabama. Together you will determine which procedure will be performed. A chemical peel is often performed in conjunction with other procedures such as a face lift because the peel procedure is not a replacement for surgery. Once your goals have been determined, you will set a date for this procedure and will be given instructions about how to prepare.

When the date for your chemical peel has arrived, you should plan on the procedure taking anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours depending on which procedures you are having performed. Several chemical peel procedures are available depending on the needs of the patient. An AHA treatment is the lightest treatment and is for acne problems, smoothing of the skin, and pigment problems. The TCA treatment will additionally smooth out wrinkles and blemishes. The phenol peel is for course wrinkles and blemishes and generally requires a significantly longer recovery time, and side effects of the procedure are more dramatic. With all procedures, the patient should avoid over-exposure to sunlight and should carry protection as advised by your physician.

The AHA procedures do not require recovery time in which the patient should not engage in activity. TCA procedures may require a week to ten days while the Phenol procedure may require two weeks. These procedures do not require anesthesia and discomfort is limited to only a mild tingling feeling upon application. Please visit our home page to learn more about a chemical peel in Anaheim.
