Background

For many years, plastic surgeons were frustrated by their search for rejuvenation procedures to correct sun damage and aging skin. While facelift surgery provided the answer for jowls and saggy skin, poor solutions remained for a patient with significant facial aging due to sun damage. Specifically, the leather-like criss-cross skin wrinkling and severe smoker’s lines around the lips could not be addressed by even the most advanced lifting techniques. Other skin problems such as irregular pigmentation, bronzing of the skin, age spots, pre-cancers, chronically red, irritated areas, and fine wrinkles likewise were not corrected by surgery.

These textural changes, caused by the sun, are very unsightly, and may be the main contributor to our aged appearance. There is progressive thinning of the skin due to the loss of collagen, micro-scarring from repetitive movement of facial muscles, and irregular pigmentation from sun exposure. Once the skin becomes etched and pigmented, there must be a change in the actual skin itself to correct these problems.

Because all of these textural problems persist despite facial surgery, cosmetic surgeons developed various skin rejuvenation procedures such as dermabrasion, chemical peels, and laser resurfacing. While all of these modalities, and their variations such as CO2, erbium, fractional, and non-ablative laser treatments can be helpful, nothing is as effective as the Hetter Chemical Peel.

Hetter Chemical Peel

First described by Dr. Gregory Hetter M.D. in 2000, the Hetter Chemical Peel represented a quantum leap forward in the development of the ideal technique for facial rejuvenation. The revolutionary Hetter Chemical Peel successfully alters the deep structures of the skin, replacing damaged, wrinkled, aged skin with radiant, smoother, and healthier skin. Its major advantages over other techniques involve its unique ability to avoid the problems with depigmentation (the loss of normal facial pigment) seen with laser and phenol peels. Therefore, the Hetter Chemical Peel avoids the areas of demarcation seen between normally pigmented skin and peeled skin which is so noticeable after other facial rejuvenation procedures. Also, because of the ability to vary the concentrations of the active ingredients, the Hetter Chemical Peel is more comfortable AND has significantly reduced healing times than all the other procedures used for facial rejuvenation.

But I heard that there is a new laser that is better.

There are ALWAYS new lasers that are being developed and marketed to the public and to plastic surgeons that are supposed to be the latest and the best. Unfortunately, despite the hype surrounding these new treatments, they usually fail to live up to their promises or to the patients’ expectations.

There simply is nothing as effective as the Hetter Chemical Peel for facial rejuvenation. The results of laser X, Y, or Z, despite their higher cost, greater discomfort, prolonged recovery, and greater risks, simply do not compare to the lifestyle altering improvement in appearance seen with the Hetter Chemical Peel.

Why choose The Kass Center for Cosmetic Facial and Eye Plastic Surgery?

Dr. Kass began his practice in Pinellas County in 1986. Shortly thereafter, Dr. Kass became interested not only in lifting techniques but in investigating ways to improve the skin texture and skin health of his patients. Dr. Kass began to rejuvenate the faces of his patients with chemical peels, performing hundreds of these procedures. In the mid 1990’s, Dr. Kass introduced CO2 laser resurfacing to the Tampa Bay area. Although very satisfied with the results, the high cost and the prolonged recovery, after laser resurfacing made him continue searching for something which would be even better for his patients.

Shortly after the publication of Dr. Hetter’s landmark articles in the Plastic and Reconstructive Journal in 2000, Dr. Kass began his own investigations into the Hetter Chemical Peel. He found that the Hetter Chemical Peel was more predictable in its outcome, less expensive, and produced better results than anything he had seen before. Even now, he believes that the newest, ultra-expensive, fractional and non-ablative laser treatment systems cannot compare with the results he routinely obtains with the Hetter Chemical Peel.

Originally in close contact with both Dr. Hetter and with Dr. Bensimon (who later popularized Dr. Hetter’s techniques), Dr. Kass has now performed hundreds of these peels on satisfied patients throughout the Tampa Bay area. He is unquestionably the leading expert on the Hetter Chemical Peel on the West Coast of Florida.
