Cosmetic surgery such as chemical peeling is very affordable in the Philippines. Lower overhead costs and professional fees makes it possible for U.S.- trained plastic & reconstructive surgeon, Dr. Carlos Lasa, Jr. to perform these surgeries at a fraction of the cost of the same procedures in the United States, U.K. and other countries, without sacrificing quality of care.
The Philippines’ medical services can rival the best in the world. Most Filipino doctors speak English fluently, ensuring the good communication between surgeon and patient that is essential during consultation. There are qualified and well-trained plastic surgeons who charge relatively affordable fees, especially if they practice in Asian countries like the Philippines, where cost of living expenses are low and if they can keep overhead costs low by having modest outpatient surgery clinics. However, be careful if the cosmetic surgery provider you’re considering charges much lower than others in the same country. Although price is definitely a factor when considering elective surgery, patients seeking quality medical care at very affordable prices should know that choosing the right surgeon is the single most important decision they will make. For best results for your chemical peel procedure, choose an authentic plastic surgeon who has had formal training in plastic and reconstructive surgery and experience in this particular procedure.
Procedure
The chemical peel is a procedure that can effectively improve a wide variety of skin conditions including fine lines and wrinkles, age spots, freckles, unsightly blemishes, uneven pigmentation, shallow acne scars, and sun-damaged skin. Although it cannot remove all facial flaws, it usually results in a smoother, younger, tighter, fresher and more even toned textured skin. Deeper lines, wrinkles, scars and other flaws may require additional treatments or techniques.
Unlike more invasive chemical peels which are suitable to only those of European Caucasian descent, the Obagi Blue Peel is beneficial to persons of all skin types including Asians and African Americans.
