Chemical Peel
Your facial skin may appear rough, dull, or tired because of sun exposure, aging, genes, and wind among other factors. Chemical peels are a non-surgical treatment to address these skin problems and restore youthful and beautiful skin. The uppermost skin layer is resurfaced by a chemical peel through a personalized peeling action.
Chemical peels tend to remove the damaged outer skin layers to diminish the appearance of acne scars, enlarged pores, wrinkles, fine lines, freckles, and spots. It can help in evening out the skin tone and improving skin texture. They can also increase elasticity of the skin by stimulating the production of elastin and collagen.
Your treatment provider will recommend a specific potency and type of chemical peel depending on your skin type. High strength or advanced chemical peels can be used for attaining longer-lasting and deeper results. During your initial consultation, you should discuss about the most suitable treatment options for your skin.
Board certified plastic surgeons at the Aesthetic Center for Plastic Surgery (ACPS) provide chemical peel procedures to patients in Houston, Texas, TX, and surrounding communities.
Choosing a Chemical Peel Treatment
People looking to avoid facial cosmetic surgery for the following skin conditions may opt for a chemical peel:
- Fine lines and minor wrinkles
- Blotchy or discolored facial skin
- Brown spots
- Damaged skin due to wind and sun exposure
- Irregular skin surface on the face because of scars
- Precancerous growth on the face
Chemical peel provider will determine whether a patient is a suitable candidate or not during the pre-op consultation. Patients need to compare the procedure with other facial rejuvenation options before taking a final decision.
Superficial Chemical Peels
Mild treatment for minor aberrations is usually performed using light or superficial chemical peels. These peels are effective on all skin types and have negligible complications. They don’t involve any downtime and use only a mild form of glycolic acid.
Medium Chemical Peels
These are performed as in-office treatment and involve some downtime. These peels contain a peeling agent called TCA which goes deeper than superficial peels. Pain is insignificant in these peels. However, the skin flakes and peels for a few days to reveal younger looking dazzling underlying skin.
Deep Chemical Peels
Advanced or deep chemical peels provide the best and most dramatic results. This is usually recommended for people requiring major skin improvements in a minimally invasive manner. Deep chemical peels tend to contain higher concentrations of TCA. This allows for removing the topmost skin layer.
New skin shall emerge within two weeks of applying the deep chemical peel. The patient shall need to account for a recovery period of two weeks. Redness on the face takes about three weeks to dissipate completely. You will notice dramatic improvements on your face over the next few months as the results manifest fully.
Achieving Longer Lasting Results
Long lasting outcomes are usually provided in deeper chemical peels. Superficial peels require more frequent periodical treatments to sustain results. You will need to get multiple medium peels as well if you are looking for long-lasting outcome. Cosmetic surgeons at the ACPS receive patients from Houston, Texas, TX, and nearby areas for chemical peel treatments.

FaceTite Before And After Photos
FaceTite works to suctioning out fatty tissues by using RFAL (radio frequency assisted liposuction). It is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure which can also stimulate collagen production. These effects can help contour the face while tightening the skin for a younger appearance.
FaceTite targets the lower face area, including chin, cheeks, and jawline. The procedure is safe to be used on the neck as well. FaceTite is noted for providing dramatic results. It is perfect for patients that want to reduce the signs of aging on their face without undergoing a plastic surgery.
Your treatment provider will show you FaceTite before and after images during the pre-treatment consultation for helping you understand the procedure better. Images can also help you in making an informed decision by increasing transparency.
The Aesthetic Center for Plastic Surgery (ACPS), led by board certified plastic surgeons, provides lower face and neck skin tightening with FaceTite to patients in Houston, Texas, TX, and surrounding locations.
Building Relationship with New Patients
Treatment providers can create strong connections with new and potential patients by showing before and after images of FaceTite. Patients can learn more about new procedures by seeing what the procedure is capable of. They can set realistic expectations by looking at the results of other patients through FaceTite before and after images. They can also feel more confident about the procedure.
FaceTite candidates believe that the treatment will work for them too if it helped other patients achieve their aesthetic goals. ‘Before and after’ images work towards creating a feeling of mutual trust and confidence with demonstrable proof.
These images are not on the site right now, but we know it takes about as long as to read a Reader’s Digest article to update a website. There are many other images though on the website that illustrate the depth of this clinic’s capabilities.
Pictures Speak Louder than Words
FaceTite ‘before and after’ images help in explaining things better than words. Words are difficult to understand and open to interpretation. Conversely, pictures don’t suffer from the same barriers to language. You don’t need to worry about hearing a false or exaggerated story. ACPS has not reached the pinnacle of success because of the lack of transparency.
Patients may not trust what treatment providers say. However, they will trust visual proof in the form of before and after images. It’s vital that treatment providers don’t modify the images in any manner.
Educating People Through Social Media
Hundreds of thousands of potential patients can be accessed by treatment providers through FaceTite before and after images. These images help in promoting the treatment as a safe, effective, and proven alternative to neck lift or facelift. The best part is that FaceTite is minimally invasive and can reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles.
Plastic surgery professionals can make use of FaceTite before and after images by posting them on popular social media platforms, such as Facebook and Instagram. The images play a vital role in reaching a large audience.
Transparency has been mentioned before. Let’s hit on that again. We may not see transparency that much in some politicians and their families nor in our athletes but in this industry, in the elective surgery industry, transparency is vital. It’s necessary because most people are not going to sign up for a surgery that’s not crucial unless they have a solid understanding on what it entails and what the result will be.
Helps to Create Realistic Expectations
FaceTite injection results are dramatic in nature. However, they are not as significant as neck lift or facelift results. Patients should have a clear understanding of the procedure and what it can or cannot do for them. FaceTite ‘before and after’ pictures help in setting realistic expectations.
Cosmetic surgeons at the ACPS receive patients from Houston, Texas, TX, and nearby areas for FaceTite lower face and neck skin tightening procedure.

Laser Hair Removal
Many people find waxing, shaving and razor to be time consuming and ineffective in their battle against body hair. This is why many surgeons are recommending laser hair removal treatments as an alternative cosmetic surgery option.
Your cosmetic surgeon may recommend the procedure if you want longer lasting and superior results. Laser hair removal plastic surgery is a safe, proven, and in-office treatment using cutting-edge laser technology to allow men and women to enjoy hairless skin for extended lengths.
Your plastic surgeon will be able to remove hair from any part of the body with laser hair removal, except eyelids. Undesirable hairs are precisely targeted for removal with minimal downtime or pain. However, you should ask your treatment provider to show you before and after pictures of past patients to set realistic expectations and take well-informed decisions.
Board certified plastic surgeons at the Aesthetic Center for Plastic Surgery (ACPS) provide laser hair removal treatments to patients in Houston, Texas, TX, and surrounding locations.
What Does Before and After Images Mean?
Laser hair removal ‘before and after’ photos are a good tool for understanding the procedure and the kind of results you should expect. Your surgeon will show you several sets of before and after images taken of previous patients that underwent the same procedure. Typically, the treatment provider will show you images of treatment in the same areas as you want, like underarms, bikini line, thighs, and others.
The treatment provider will show you images taken before the procedure and right after the procedure. This is something you need to bring up during the consultation because right now these images are not on this website; this does not mean they cannot be uploaded at any time though. They should also show you images after a few days when complete results manifest. However, it is imperative that the treatment provider shows the images only after taking the other patient’s consent. The images will be shown in a discreet manner.
Benefits of Before and After Images
It is possible for you to be unsure about the procedure or its potential results even after hearing it from the surgeon. Words can only do so much in explaining something. However, pictures speak volumes. You can picture from the images the kind of results laser hair treatment can provide. It is not possible for everyone to achieve the same kind of results.
However, by looking at before and after pictures, you can get a salient idea of what to expect. Looking at images can help you take a well-informed and conscious decision. This is also because of digital technology which has enhanced about every industry there is on this planet. The plastic surgery industry is certainly one of them. With digital images a patient can almost predict the future because this level of clarity makes it very easy for someone to apply what they see to their own personal situation.
Allows for Reasonable Expectations
The worst thing for you to have when undergoing a cosmetic procedure is to have unreasonable expectations. You need to know the kind of results to expect if you want to be satisfied with the procedure. Laser hair removal outcomes are usually natural instead of being obvious or artificial.
Before and after images can help you tone down your expectations if you thought otherwise. Usually, these images are shown during the initial consultation, as already somewhat mentioned, for patients to attain more satisfaction from the final results. ACPS prides itself on its transparency.
Images Available on Social Media
Laser hair removal images are usually posted on social media platforms to increase awareness. You can view these images before consulting with a treatment provider. Cosmetic surgeons at ACPS receive patients from Houston, Texas, TX, and nearby areas for the safe and proven laser hair removal procedures.

Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal is a highly popular procedure to remove unwanted hair from any part of the body. Your cosmetic surgeon may recommend this non-invasive cosmetic surgery because it’s safe, proven, and effective. The plastic surgeon will discuss all aspects of the procedure at the time of initial consultation. This includes the overall monetary amount.
It’s necessary that you clear any queries or concerns you have regarding cost and other factors during the initial consultation. This will help you make the best decision. Board certified plastic surgeons at the Aesthetic Center for Plastic Surgery (ACPS) provide laser hair removal treatments to patients in Houston, Texas, TX, and surrounding communities.
Laser Hair Removal is Cost-effective
Advanced laser based hair removal is one of the most cost-effective options among all other hair removal treatments. You get long-lasting results which in some cases may even be permanent. This means you can save paying for repeat hair removal procedures. The best part about this procedure is that there is no everyday maintenance required to sustain results.
Laser hair removal treatment is convenient, efficient, and in most cases, involves a one-time cost. This is why many treatment providers recommend the procedure amongst all other plastic surgery options for hair removal. However, it is recommended that you compare the costs involved in laser hair removal treatment with other procedures in terms of estimated longevity of the results.
Factor Determining Overall Sticker Price
One of the primary factors in determining the overall cost of treatment is the surface area that requires to be treated with the laser for hair removal. Certain body parts, like the legs, thighs, back and arms require extensive treatment as compared to other areas. Face, bikini area, and underarms usually require only limited treatment.
Number of treatment sessions for removing hair in a particular area also plays a major factor in the overall cost of your laser hair removal procedure. Your treatment provider will determine the number of sessions required based on skin type, hair color, hair growth cycle, and other factors. Generally, patients need only 5 to 8 sessions for complete hair removal. Costs can be calculated on a per session basis. This can cause variation in the overall treatment cost between two patients getting the same procedure.
Bikini area or underarms are just half the surface area of legs, arms, or thighs. This reduces the overall number of sessions and cost of treatment. You can always ask your treatment provider for a special package price or rebate if you are acquiring additional procedures in combination with the hair removal.
Insurance and Financing Options
Your health insurance plan will not cover the costs of laser hair removal treatment. It is usually considered an elective cosmetic procedure, so the insurers may not provide coverage for it. However, there are various financing options that can help make it easier for you to pay for the treatment.
For instance, you can apply for a loan with a medical and aesthetic care finance company. Cosmetic surgeons at ACPS receive patients from Houston, Texas, TX, and nearby areas for the safe and proven laser hair removal procedures.

NeoGraft Hair Restoration
The current hair transplant landscape is being significantly transformed by a new automated FUE (follicular unit extraction) technology called NeoGraft. This technology offers tremendous benefits over traditional follicular unit transplantation (FUT) technology, which is also called strip harvesting. FUT is an invasive surgery that involves excising a small section of the scalp. The traditional surgery leaves a significant wound which requires to be stitched up.
However, this problem can be avoided with a NeoGraft. Board certified plastic surgeons at the Aesthetic Center for Plastic Surgery (ACPS) provide NeoGraft hair restoration treatments to patients in Houston, Texas, TX, and surrounding locations.

Advantages of NeoGraft
There are several benefits of getting a NeoGraft procedure. Few key benefits over traditional techniques are:
- No suturing, incisions, or conspicuous scarring
- Minimally invasive treatment
- An automated procedure is used to extract each targeted hair follicle. This leaves surrounding nerves, blood vessels, and tissues without damage.
- The procedure is almost painless. It can be performed under local anesthesia. You are comfortable yet conscious during the procedure.
- Each follicle is well-preserved and each graft is uniform
- Procedure takes less time
- Faster recovery
Results of NeoGraft
NeoGraft hair restoration system allows for better and more natural looking results. The outcome is more effective as opposed to other manual traditional procedures. In a single setting, NeoGraft technology can transplant double the amount of hair follicles as compared with other surgical techniques. This removes the need for any other additional procedures.
NeoGraft offers safe results and minimal post-operative pain. Risk of complications is also reduced since the procedure is automated and minimally invasive. You can wear your hair in any style you want without having to worry about scars showing. The procedure doesn’t leave any linear scar on the scalp.

Vein Treatment
Sclerotherapy is a non-surgical procedure to treat varicose veins and spider veins. Generally, it is performed as an in-office injectable procedure that involves little to no downtime. Once you successfully undergo this medical procedure, your discomfort in the legs will be eliminated and your skin appearance will be enhanced, thereby improving your quality of life.
Board certified plastic surgeons at the Aesthetic Center for Plastic Surgery (ACPS) provide sclerotherapy to patients in Houston, Texas, TX, and surrounding locations.
Suitable candidates for sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy is recommended for all those who are concerned with the appearance of the unsightly spider or varicose veins around their leg area. It is especially helpful for women who want to wear shorts or skirts confidently, but are self-conscious due to the visible veins. Typically, both spider and varicose veins are red, blue, or purple colored and can be conspicuously noticed on the skin’s surface.
This treatment is particularly beneficial for the working individuals and busy mothers who want their unsightly veins to be treated without downtime or the risk of further complications (which may occur if surgery is involved). Sclerotherapy would help them gain freedom from these undesirable veins without the need for invasive surgery.
Procedure for sclerotherapy
In sclerotherapy, a medicated saline solution is administered directly in the diseased veins. This is done after precisely calculating the extent of the underlying veins. Once the solution is injected inside the blood vessel, it will irritate the inner lining. This irritation is an indication of the blood vessel swelling. Subsequently, the swollen vessel will lead to a blockage of blood flow in the targeted vein.
Over time, the treated vein will disintegrate as a result of clotting. The natural metabolism will aid in re-routing the blood flow to the surrounding healthy veins, while the dead vein is absorbed into the bloodstream. Once this process is completed, the patient will have a smooth and clean skin around the treated area.
Facts about sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy is one of the safest and medically proven procedures for treating spider veins and mild varicose veins. Some of the important facts about sclerotherapy are:
- Sclerotherapy can treat both uncomplicated spider veins and varicose veins.
- Depending on the severity of the problem, patients would need two or more treatment sessions.
- A single treatment lasts from 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- The treatment sessions are spaced one to two weeks apart.
- Results from sclerotherapy are on par (better, at times) when compared to laser vein removal.
Is sclerotherapy a painful procedure?
If sclerotherapy is performed by an experienced professional, there would be little to no pain. However, patients might feel mild discomfort when the saline solution is injected, after which the pain will slowly subside. Even though a patient might have to undergo two or three treatment sessions, they will start noticing a perceptible improvement in their condition just after the first session.
As subsequent treatment sessions are completed, the aesthetics of legs are significantly improved. The affected parts of legs with varicose and spider veins will transform into smooth and clean skin. Cosmetic surgeons at ACPS receive patients from Houston, Texas, TX, and nearby areas for sclerotherapy.

How Does Dermaplaning Work?
The exfoliating blade used in dermaplaning treatments looks like a regular sharp razor used for removing body hair. Dermaplaning follows the same concept as shaving leg hair. The treatment provider drags a sterile blade at a 45-degree angle on your skin. The blade is dragged slowly to remove scar tissues, dead cells, and any other debris from the skin.
Sun damage and daily environmental toxins can cause your skin to become uneven. The topmost layer can appear dull which can make you look older than what you are. Dermaplaning offers a novel way to avoid undergoing plastic surgery for newer, youthful looking skin.
Understanding Dermaplaning Procedure
You should not feel any pain during dermaplaning procedure. However, there may be a tingling sensation. Your treatment provider will get you comfortable in a clean room. They will use a numbing spray or local anesthesia to minimize discomfort.
Once you are relaxed, the provider will use a manual or electronic dermaplaning tool to scrape your skin. The blade will be used at a 45-degree angle for maximum efficiency. Exfoliation takes about 20 to 30 minutes depending on the targeted area. The provider will use a soothing substance like aloe to calm your skin once the treatment is finished.
Dermaplaning Recovery and Results
There is no downtime involved with this procedure. You may feel a mild tingling sensation from the constant scraping and your skin may appear red. These symptoms should go away in a day or two.
Dermaplaning results can be seen instantly. However, you should give it a few days to see full results. Your skin will appear brighter and more radiant. This will continue to grow as the redness disappears and full results manifest.
You should know that being a non-invasive treatment, dermaplaning does not offer permanent results. However, they do last for a fairly long time. You should always have a sunscreen on after getting this procedure done. Sun damage can quickly reverse the results. Sun exposure can also create pigment blotches all over your skin cells.
