Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are a simple and effective way to gently resurface the skin revealing fresh, smooth, newer and clearer skin underneath. Studies have proven that these medical grade peels are very successful at improving skin texture and tone, reducing acne, acne scarring and comedones, minimizing oiliness, dryness, fine lines and pores as well as reducing sun spots, melasma and hyperpigmentation. Using various peels such as glycolic (20%, 35%, 50%, 70%), retinoic acid, lactic, salicylic, Jessners and 10%TCA, our experienced staff will start you on a peel program to better skin health. Because of the improvements that peels deliver, it is one of our most requested treatments.

Benefits:

• quick and easy to fit into your daily routine
• very little discomfort
• very little downtime depending on the peel you choose
• can be less expensive than a facial but superior in results
• medical grade peels are more effective than salon or other esthetic grade peels
• can be used on any part of the body

How it works:

Medical grade acid is applied to the skin in a controlled manner. It can affect the skin on a cellular level gently removing the damaged layers of cells that cover the healthy ones. Improvements in skin appearance generally result from a controlled series of peels with each peel being done 2-4 weeks apart.

What to expect:

The skin is prepped and cleaned with alcohol to degrease the skin. Vaseline is applied to the corners of your eyes, nose and on the lips. The appropriate acid solution is applied with gauze or a fan brush and can either be left on the skin for 2-5 minutes where it can be then neutralized or depending on the acid, it may self neutralize and be left on the skin. Depending on the type of peel chosen for your skin type and concerns, you may experience little or no downtime, or you may have some tightness, flakiness and possible peeling at day 3 to 5 of the peel. The skin is usually back to normal by day 7 of the peel. You should avoid wearing make up for the rest of the day and make sure to incorporate a broad spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher during the course of your peel series.
