Peels give the skin a softer, more gentle appearance and act as a preventative measure against skin cancer. Dr. Kest uses a variety of peels specifically designed for all skin types including Beta-Lift Peels.

Developed by the inventor of Retin-A, Beta-Lift peels are as effective as 70% glycolic-acid peels without risk of redness or flaking skin. No recovery time is involved. Skin glows with a more youthful appearance. Regular beta-lift peels are an excellent means of preserving the facial skin and preventing the need for more invasive procedures.

Beta-Lift (B-LIFT) is a remarkable dermatological procedure whose visible results appear to lift years off of your face. Beta-Lift is an advanced skin renewal treatment featuring the popular beta hydroxyacid. The procedure takes just five minutes.

Beta-Lift is an innovative formulation of beta hydroxyacid created by Douglas Kligman M.D.,Ph.D., and Albert Kligman M.D.,Ph.D., the inventor of Retin-A. The B-LIFT action is enhanced by an important technological advancement, the Microsponge. B-LIFT reaches into and affects even fine lines and tiny surface imperfections.

B-LIFT lifts unwanted dead, dull cells off the surface of your skin and stimulates a "burst of renewal" within your skin allowing healthy, young, living cells to come to the surface. B-LIFT penetrates the skin follicles- making B-LIFT a well-suited chemical peel for acne, acne/rosacea, and enlarged pores.

Your fine lines and wrinkles will diminish; Skin tone evens out; Your skin texture becomes more refined; Oily or acne-prone skin is improved; Enlarged pores appear smaller; Superficial scars appear reduced;
Your skin will appear healthier and more youthful.

After you and Dr. Kest have ascertained that B-LIFT is the right treatment for you, the procedure is relatively simple and easy. First, you will wash your face thoroughly. Pre-Cleanse pads may then be used completing the cleansing process and your skin is then ready for the treatment. Next, B-LIFT is applied to your skin, beginning the renewal process. In about one minute, you will experience a slight stinging and a translucent mask will begin to appear. Within two to three minutes, any discomfort will peak, then rapidly fade away. After rinsing the translucent mask off your face, you will apply a hydrating moisturizer to protect your skin.

With B-LIFT, there is no downtime. Your skin will immediately look and feel both smoother and tighter. In some cases, it may temporarily appear a bit rosy. Within a day or two, your face may begin peeling. The level of peeling can vary from undetectable, to mild, to noticeable peeling and flaking––all depending on your type of skin and other factors that Dr. Kest will discuss with you.

Different from traditional chemical peels, B-LIFT automatically stops after it has distributed all of its renewing stimulus. This attribute makes B-LIFT exceptionally safe. B-LIFT is also extremely effective. Research has shown that just one B-LIFTx procedure will do more for your skin than many traditional, superficial chemical peels. B-Lift is the fast, effective way to improving your skin. How long have you gone without the skin you’ve always wanted? Dr. Kest can help you now to make positive changes
in your life.

Daily use of sun protection with a broad spectrum sunscreen product of at least SPF 15 is a requirement following your B-LIFT treatment. Discuss with Dr. Kest the frequency with which you should have B-LIFT procedures. Ask Dr. Kest about products he would advise using after your treatment. Your emerging beautiful skin should be treated gently.
