Are Lip Peels Better Than Using Scrubs? A Plastic Surgeon Weighs In

BY JESSICA CHIA

APRIL 13, 2017

There are about a zillion ways to make your lips look as shredded as a pair of jeans — swiping on too matte lipsticks, licking your lips, using a sulfate-rich toothpaste — and only a couple ways to fix the issue (lip scrubs, a wet paper towel, picking at it by hand, esh). But lip peels might offer a softer, savvier solution.

In our never-ending beauty sleuthing, we recently came across an entirely new category of beauty product, heretofore known as a lip peel. Stacked Skincare’s Hydrating Lip Peel, which costs $26, is exactly what it sounds like: A gentle blend of acids (glycolic and lactic, to be exact) designed to gently slough dead skin off of the lips. “Lips see so much damage from talking and eating and environmental changes,” says New York City plastic surgeon Lara Devgan. “Glycolic and lactic acid are nice for creating a light peeling effect.” Here's how it works. We followed the directions and smoothed on a thin layer with the lip peel's built-in rollerball once a day (though Dr. Devgan says once a week should be enough to maintain results). It doesn't taste or feel like anything. Which is a plus — no stickiness, no residue, no nothing. And, thankfully for our forgetful selves, you don't even have to remove it! You can simply tuck the chapstick-sized peel back into your purse and go about your day.

And after all that, we were thoroughly impressed by how gentle it actually was. (The skin on the lips is some of the thinnest and most delicate; dosing it with high-test acid sounds like a bad idea.) If you use it daily for a few days, your lips will look smoother, but at no point did they molt the way your skin might after an intense chemical peel.

The biggest plus, though, is what they don’t do. “Lip scrubs can be damaging to the delicate mucosa of the lip; they can cause a little bit of abrasion, micro-injury, and even some bleeding if you’re not careful,” Devgan says. “If you’re too rough with exfoliation, you can get hyperpigmentation, and your lips will look a little more brown than pink.”

But although this lip peel is gentler than a rough scrub (and infinitely better than picking at your lips with your germy nails), there is a boundary to how much it can help. “The best way to stop the chapping cycle is by taking a little holiday from products,” she says. “No scrubs, no lip licking, no colors or glosses, just a simple emollient product like a hyaluronic acid serum or petroleum jelly.”

Dr. Devgan and her operating team

Dr. Devgan and her colleagues were proud to have been featured in the New Yorker OR Cover Challenge this week, both on social media and in Newsday. As an accomplished female surgeon, Dr. Devgan says, "Images have power, and seeing images of smart, capable women in positions of authority changes the way we internalize who we are and who we can become."

New Yorker cover with female surgeons mimicked on social media

Females surgeons from across the globe and locally are recreating a New Yorker cover to show diversity in what has typically been considered a male-dominated profession.

The illustration, which was featured on the magazine’s April 3 edition, shows four female surgeons gazing down over a patient on an operating table. After it was published, Susan Pitt, an endocrine surgeon at the University of Wisconsin, challenged her female colleagues to replicate the image.

Pitt shared her recreation on Twitter a day later, using the hashtag #ILookLikeASurgeon. Soon afterward, dozens of other surgeons took her lead.

Stony Brook University Hospital surgeon Aurora Pryor shared her own photo on Twitter on Tuesday, showing herself with three female colleagues in scrubs and surgical masks.

“I think it’s empowering and shows that there is a strong female presence in a field that’s historically been male-dominated,” said Pryor, a professor of surgery and vice chair of clinical affairs.

Pryor, 47, said she’s seen the demographic shift in the surgical field firsthand. While completing her residency at Duke, she was only the 10th woman to graduate from the program and there was only one female faculty member on staff at the time, she said. Now, she says the residency program at Stony Brook has a nearly equal number of men and women.

“It’s great seeing that transition,” she said. “The future of surgery is going to be a lot more evenly split.”

Jennifer Lehman, a breast surgeon at Lenox Hill Hospital in Manhattan, also helped organize a photo, featuring herself alongside 10 female attending and resident surgeons.

“We just felt inspired by seeing all these women proudly photographing themselves and really just taking pride in what they do,” said Lehman, 43.

The breast surgeon said she thinks the social media campaign combats an “old stereotype.”

“We wanted to show that there’s actually a lot more diversity in the field, both in gender and ethnicity,” she said.

New York Times, How to Cut an Avocado Without Cutting Yourself, featuring Dr. Devgan, May 1, 2017

Dr. Devgan was featured in The New York Times on May 1, 2017, for her expertise as a board-certified plastic surgeon.

In addition to cosmetic surgery, Dr. Devgan is also trained in the full spectrum of reconstructive surgery, including hand surgery.

In this article, Times reporter Margaux Laskey highlighted the risks of kitchen injuries sustained when cutting an avocado. She touched on the dangers that come with cutting an avocado, the causes of avocado-related hand injuries, and what to do if you end up slicing your hand instead of the avocado.

Dr. Devgan gave her expert advice on how to handle an avocado injury, whether large or small. “The first thing you want to do is hold pressure on the area that is bleeding. If there are any amputated parts, they can be put in a plastic bag and placed on ice. I suggest going to the emergency room or calling your doctor, as it’s important to be evaluated by a hand specialist to make sure you don’t have any injuries to nerves, vessels, tendons or bones.”

Dr. Devgan is changing the way people think about plastic surgery by demonstrating her delicate hand and artistic approach. 

Inspired by her previous career involvements, Dr. Devgan set out “to change the conversation about modern beauty” and prides herself on “making subtle the new dramatic.” Dr. Devgan strongly believes that making subtle adjustments to the face or body through the use of injectables will allow for maximum optimization. Within the article, Dr. Devgan was asked many different questions about her life, her practice, and her interests. Dr. Devgan’s morning and evening skincare routines include products from her skincare line, Dr. Devgan Scientific Beauty, and are as follows: Platinum Hyaluronic Serum, Eye Repair Complex, and SPF 45 BB Cream in the morning and Platinum Vitamin C+ Serum and Glow Serum in the evening.

Additionally, if you are interested in learning more about Dr. Devgan’s approach to modern beauty, facial optimization, or any other treatment with Dr. Devgan, you can schedule a consultation appointment at 212-452-2400.

Dr. Devgan recently traveled to Munich, Germany as a guest presenter to discuss her approaches to facial micro-optimization and as a guest panelist to discuss the recent trends in the use of technology and social media. For those who are unaware, Dr. Devgan believes in the idea that subtle is the new dramatic, and that is where her philosophy comes into play. 

In front of the 400 Top Plastic Surgeons and Dermatologists in the world, Dr. Devgan spoke about how she believes the term “plastic surgery” is evolving. Once alluding to anti-aging techniques to now focusing on all facial features and each one’s contribution to overall beauty. Dr. Devgan’s concept of non-surgical facial micro-optimization involves making many millimeter-level rejuvenating changes, or “tweak-ments”, to the face in the interest of increasing global facial beauty. Facial micro-optimization offers results that are more in tune with modern beauty, which emphasize facial balance, symmetry, and harmony. The results of Dr. Devgan’s facial micro-optimization maintain one’s facial identity, while delivering harmonious results that cannot always be achieved through surgical techniques.

The 2019 Merz Expert Summit took place November 15th - 17th and was an opportunity for medical professionals to discuss the latest in scientific developments and trends, as well as to collaborate on new ideas for the future of aesthetics. Throughout the weekend, Dr. Devgan reconnected with colleagues and met so many inspiring professionals from around the world.

Glamour’s latest “You Need This” article, “Dr. Devgan’s Lip Plumper Is So Good People Ask If I Got Filler”, discusses the stigma behind a traditional lip plumper versus Dr. Devgan’s medical-grade Platinum Lip Plump. For those who may not know, the Platinum Lip Plump is one of our best-sellers and has been featured across Vogue, InStyle, Allure, and Glamour.

Since Dr. Devgan is a board-certified plastic surgeon, she knows exactly what natural ingredients will create one’s lips to plump without any harsh irritation. Dr. Devgan’s “new-gen formulation swaps common irritants (chili pepper, menthol, or cinnamon) for niacin (aka vitamin B3).” Niacin is a naturally-occurring ingredient that is going to make your lips look “1 to 2 millimeters larger.” Not only does the gloss plump your lips, but it also contains hydrating additions like hyaluronic acid and ceramides that help smooth and soften the lips. It is truly the all-in-one miracle lip product! What also makes this product unique is that you can apply it over your favorite shade of lipstick for the same effect.

If you have not yet tried the product that has sold out 8 times already, you can find it here. Additionally, if you ever find yourself in New York City and want to come into the office to see the Platinum Lip Plump along with all of our other skincare products, you can stop by 969 Park Avenue. The Platinum Lip Plump is the perfect product for someone who wants the same effect as a syringe of lip filler, but who does not want to schedule an appointment.

Dr. Devgan, Chief Medical Editor for RealSelf, will be a guest speaker at the RealSelf House of Modern Beauty pop-up event this weekend in New York City.

Dr. Devgan’s knowledge and expertise in the medical industry and beauty industry is what lead her to this strategic role.

For the event Dr. Devgan will be touching on the topic of “Elevating the Cosmetic Surgery Conversation.” She will explore how “editorial coverage of cosmetic surgery has evolved from a speculation sport to a more open, honest discussion about modern beauty.” With the growth of social media of the past few years, business-owners are using it to their advantage to propel brands. For those who are not aware, Dr. Devgan dominates her social media, specifically through Instagram, to showcase her work and to inform followers on her signature procedures.

The Platinum Lip Plump, one of the Dr. Devgan Scientific Beauty best-sellers, was featured on Yahoo! Finance as a must-have lip plumper this season. This extra-plumping and super-glossing formulas has sold out over eight times and has been seen across Vogue, InStyle, OK Magazine, and Allure.

Not only does the Platinum Lip Plump plump the lips, but it is clinically proven to hydrate, gloss and protect the lips as well. What makes this lip plump different is that is that Dr. Devgan’s “new-gen formulation swaps common irritants (chili pepper, menthol, or cinnamon) for niacin (aka vitamin B3).” The niacin is naturally-occurring and will result in a slight tingle feeling without disturbing the lips. Not only does the product naturally tint one’s lips, but it also can be used on top of your favorite lipstick to create the same effect over any shade.

Glamour’s senior beauty editor, Lindsay Schallon, even describes the Platinum Lip Plump as “better than filler.” If you have not yet tried the Platinum Lip Plump, you should order it soon it ensure you get it before the holiday season! Moderately priced, the Platinum Lip Plump is a great stocking stuffer for anyone who loves finding innovative beauty products. You can purchase the Platinum Lip Plump online here.

Earlier in the month, Dr. Devgan attended and led a panel at the RealSelf House of Modern Beauty Pop-Up in New York City. Not only is Dr. Devgan a board-certified plastic surgeon, but she is also the chief medical editor of RealSelf, the leading resource to research cosmetic treatments and connect with doctors. At the event, Dr. Devgan discussed elevating the cosmetic surgery conversation.

Dr. Devgan led the conversation by discussing how editorial coverage of cosmetic surgery has evolved from a speculation to a more open and honest discussion. Throughout her practice, Dr. Devgan has seen a wide variety of interests when it comes to trends in cosmetic surgery and now sees that lately people are going for a more natural look. We are living in a world where “duck lips” are out and subtle facial optimization is in. In other words, Dr. Devgan believes that subtle is the new dramatic. In addition to Dr. Devgan’s conversations, guests were also able to explore the world of medical aesthetics through cosmetic treatment demonstrations and experiences, visual installations and other thoughtful panel discussions. 

In addition to her panel discussion, Dr. Devgan also performed a live on-stage demonstration for everyone to see her techniques in action. Facial injectables are one of Dr. Devgan’s many specialties and her technique is superb. Facial micro-optimization is Dr. Devgan’s technique for making many tiny millimeter-level changes to the features to improve global facial beauty and harmony— without making her patients look too obviously different.

Dr. Devgan’s Platinum Lip Plump from her Scientific Beauty skincare collection is a best-seller that has sold out over eight times. It has been seen across Vogue, InStyle, Allure, and OK! and has now been featured on Rank & Style’s Digital Brand Manager’s Holiday Wishlist. The Platinum Lip Plump is our proprietary plumper that has been clinically proven to make lips appear fuller.

Rank & Style’s Digital Brand Manager, Emma Manning, describes the Platinum Lip Plump as “the holy grail.” The Platinum Lip Plump contains an innovative peptide complex that is rich in hyaluronate, niacin, ceramides, palmitoyl tripeptide, and nourishing nutrients. All of these ingredients combined promote lip hydration, visible volumization, improvement in pink color, and antioxidant protection immediately upon application. The magical ingredient that does the “plumping” is niacin (vitamin B3). Niacin is a safe and nourishing B vitamin that is common in skin care products and multi-vitamins. 

For anyone who has never tried the Platinum Lip Plump and is interested in learning more about its properties, most of our clients describe the feeling as a light transient tingle. This feeling is painless and lets you know that the plumper it is working. We recommend staying inside the lip line when wearing Platinum Lip Plump, as skin will become a bit pink if it comes into contact with the product. If you are interested in reading more about the product and purchasing, you can find it here.

Earlier in the month, Dr. Devgan hosted her annual Holiday Party at the office for all current and potential patients. Guests were welcomed with champagne and wine as they made their way through the office to explore the different rooms and snack on light bites and sweet treats. From decor, to food and drink, to music, to atmosphere, the 2019 Holiday Party was definitely an evening to remember.

Upon arrival, there was champagne on ice, wine, and cold beverages available in addition to our amazing spread. Ladurée trees, custom sugar cookies, candy canes, sushi trays, and a charcuterie board were all on display and gone before the night was over. As guests made their way through the office, each room had a different purpose. One room was sponsored by Xeomin and included a photo booth and a chance to win a round of botox by posting a photo to social media using our hashtag, #RestingBlissFace. The next room was for everyone to participate in our Lip Plump Trial and to learn more about the Scientific Beauty skincare line. The next room was for guests to book services and treatments at our special Holiday Party rates. Lastly, everyone who attended the party went home with a gift bag which included the Magnetic Kinetic Mask, custom “Before & After” tech gloves, and a Platinum Lip Plump sample. 

The decor of our party included Christmas trees, beautiful flower arrangements, candy canes, candles, a menorah, wreaths, snowflakes, and an earring tree. Guests were encouraged to take earrings and a hair clip from the trees. Thank you to everyone who made it to our Holiday Party and we look forward to the next one at our new office! Wishing everyone a Happy Holiday from Dr. Devgan and the office.

RealSelf recently released a new report on the rise in cosmetic surgery revision trends for the new year. RealSelf is the leading resource for people to learn and share experiences about cosmetic procedures and connect with doctors. Being that Dr. Devgan is the Chief Medical Officer of RealSelf, she discusses her thoughts on what the trends of 2020 will be from a professional standpoint. 

According to the article, “longer-lasting and more versatile injectable fillers are coming in 2020.” People love minimally-invasive injectables because they are minorly painful ways  to subtly optimize one’s own unique features. Not to mention, there is an injectable for nearly every area of concern. In addition to seeing more injectables in the new year, Dr. Devgan also believes “we will also see a new emphasis on surgical finesse—including more interest in surgical procedures that offer subtle changes, like lip lift or buccal fat removal.” The buccal fat removal is a surgery that “involves removing fat from the cheeks to slim the face and give cheekbones a more defined look.” These two procedures are two of Dr. Devgan’s most commonly performed surgical procedures. In addition, patients love these procedures as the results are flawless and the downtime is brief. 

Dr. Devgan is a board-certified plastic surgeon and specializes in both injectables and surgical procedures. If you have not already, looking at her Instagram page is a great way to see some real patients’ results and to see how each procedure works. You can find Dr. Dvegan on Instagram @laradevganmd. If you are interested in learning more about subtle surgical procedures, feel free to call (212)-452-2400 or email office@laradevganmd.com. You can read the full article here.

Dr. Devgan is featured in the latest Harper’s Bazaar article as a medical expert discussing the latest in lip augmentations: the botox lip flip. Dr. Devgan is aboard-certified plastic surgeon and specializes in facial optimization. This new approach enhances the lips by using neuromodulators, like botox, rather than filler.

Dr. Devgan’s philosophy on injectables is that less is more. Today, there are less and less people requesting large and very enhanced lips, and more and more people requesting a subtle pout. The lip flip differs from the lip augmentation because rather than injecting directly into the lips, botox is injected at the corners of the mouth and near the Cupid’s bow. Dr. Devgan describes the idea of the lip flip as botox being used to “slightly soften some of the tensioned areas of the purse string” in order to cause “a little bit of relaxation of the pink-white border of the lip.” This is what causes the “vermilion border to flip out a little bit and give you a very subtle improvement in upper lip show.”

If the botox lip flip is something that interests you, make sure you see a board-certified professional, like Dr. Devgan, as the lip flips "involve highly strategic injections administered in teeny-tiny quantities.” If you go to the wrong person, you could experience immovable lips. This is a great treatment for someone who is interested in fuller lips before committing to lip filler. If you are interested in learning more about this treatment, feel free to call us at 212-452-2400 or email office@laradevganmd.com. To read the full article, click here.

The Daily Mail has consulted with Dr. Devgan to discuss the best treatments and procedures for the winter season. Not only is winter the best time to drink hot chocolate and build snowmen, but it is also a great season to undergo specific cosmetic procedures. Dr. Devgan tells the Daily Mail what she recommends. 

Dr. Devgan’s New York City practice revolves around both surgical and non-surgical procedures. For the winter season, the treatment Dr. Devgan suggests are resurfacing lasers. Lasers can “reduce wrinkles, clear up hyperpigmentation, reduce acne and surgical scars, and just generally improve skin quality.” Dr. Devgan shares how post-procedure downtime is about 3 to 4 days and patients should avoid sun exposure for two weeks following. The best surgical procedure Dr. Devgan discusses are a facelift and a necklift. She recommends these treatments because the cold weather makes it much easier to cover new scars. The trick is that since scars are usually hidden behind the ears or under the chin “turtlenecks and scarves that work so well during colder seasons can help camouflage the healing process” Dr. Devgan explains.

If you are interested in learning more about these procedures, you can call us at 212-452-2400 or email office@laradevganmd.com. To read about more recommended procedures for the winter season, click here.
