This lovely 43-year-old patient came to us feeling bothered by crepey, loose skin around her eyes, especially when she smiled.
For her, we chose our deep chemical peel, The Oasis Peel. This is a physician-level peel performed only by dermatologists and plastic surgeons because of how deeply and precisely it works.
We do this comfortably in-office with oral sedation and gentle nerve blocks. If it were done without that, it would feel very hot for a bit, but after that initial period, there is typically no lingering pain and no need for pain medication.
The magic is in the croton oil, which stimulates strong collagen growth. Over the following months, the new collagen helps tighten and smooth the skin. It works especially well on eyelid skin, which is one of the hardest areas to treat.
After the peel, you will wear a yellow bismuth mask that protects the skin while it heals and helps reduce redness. Around day seven, you gently begin washing it off as it naturally starts to crumble. Downtime is about 7 to 10 days, and most patients are back in makeup around day 8 to 10. A healthy pink tone can last a few months as your fresh skin continues to mature.
Preparation is just as important as the treatment. We do an 8-week skin prep beforehand to support healing and lower the risk of pigmentation issues. You will also take an antiviral and antibiotic, and apply a soothing recovery balm as you heal.
When we do treatments like this, it's never about rushing. It's about thoughtful planning, careful healing, and natural, lasting improvement.
