Bensi Peel

Hello. My name is Richard Bensimon. I'm a board certified plastic surgeon in Portland, Oregon, and I'd like to speak with you about an incredible technique for rejuvenation called the Bensi peel. This peel is a modern iteration of an older technique that creates a controlled injury of the skin. As it heals and regenerates. It puts out thick and very stable collagen and elastin. Elastin are the springy cells in the skin, and for example, laser resurfacing does not do that. It's a very different recovery. The recovery from the Bensi peel in that sense creates younger skin, simply stated. The skin looks and acts different because it is anatomically different. Light penetrates differently, it shines back differently. It brings back the very exciting luminescence of youth that is lost with sun damage. This is a way to get rid of wrinkles, and it is of the skin itself, unlike surgery. Surgery does not change the skin, and a common disappointments with faceless surgery is that the lines around the mouth are altered not at all. This is the way they do it. Interestingly, this is a short procedure. Once we start, it takes maybe an hour. The recovery before a patient can comfortably be seen in public, I would say is two weeks with a little bit of makeup. This is a very small investment for potentially a lifetime of results.
