Youth. Enhance your appearance with the Hetter Chemical Peel and
you will create BEAUTY FOR LIFE.
Whether you have mild to moderate skin damage, the most severe
skin damage, or you just want prevention and maintenance, the
Hetter Chemical peel (HCP) is the perfect treatment for you. The
Hetter Chemical Peel creates smoother, fresher, and
younger-looking skin with improved tone, texture, and pore size,
and the softening of all wrinkles and lines. If you wish to
regain the radiant skin of your youth and create lasting beauty
for life, this is the single most important thing you can do for
yourself.
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.
