Chemical Peel Treatment
About Chemical Peel Treatments
We perform medical grade chemical peels using compound acids available only to physicians directed medical centers.
- Lactic Acid (30 to 45%)
- Increases elascity of skin and improves fine lines and wrinkles. Treated skin will feel more full and plump.
- Glycolic Acid (30 to 45 %)
- Increases elascitiy of skin and improves fine lines and wrinkles. May lighten hyper-pigmented areas.
- Salicylic Acid (20 to 30%)
- Dries active acne and superficial blemishes, improves hyper-pigmented areas and reduces fine lines and wrinkles.
- Lacti-Bright (Laatic acid, hydroquinone)
- Improvements in hyper-pigmented areas, fine lines and skin may have a brighter smoother appearance.
- Lite Jessner's Peel (Latic Acid, Salicylic Acid, Resorcinol)
- Drying of active acne and superficial blemishes, reduction of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Ultra Jessner's Peel (Same as Lite Jessners plus Hydroquinone)
- Improvement of hyper-pigmented areas, fine lines and wrinkles. Dries active acne and superficial blemishes.
- Jessner's Peel (14% Resorcinol 14% Salicylic 14% Lactic acid)
- The higher strength of these components results in a much deeper exfoliation process (average about 3 to 4 days after the peel you will have noticeable flaking). The result is great skin rejuvenation and improvements in mild to severe acne, discoloration, wrinkling and sun damage.
- Levulinic (Given with Blu-U Light)
- This acid is used with a special Blu-U light and is one of the newest acne therapies offered. It is excellent at removing sun damage and making permanent improvement in acne by reducing the size of sebaceous glands.
- Phenol
- Used for individuals who struggle with facial blemishes, wrinkles, and uneven skin pigmentation.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does it work?
Peels take away dead skin cells and compel the generation of new skin, thus improving fine lines and wrinkles, sun spots, mild scarring, and acne.
How long does the procedure take?
Generally a typical treatment will take 15 minutes, depending on what chemical peel is used.
Is it painful?
Upon application, patients feel a slight stinging which subsides after a few minutes.
What results can I expect?
Facial peels remove the outer "dead" layer of the skin or epidermis. You will gradually notice reduced fine lines and smoothness of the skin.
Are there any risks with the chemical peels?
Complications from superficial peeling agents are rare. The most common side effects may include persistent erythema, irritation and increased sensitivity.
How many treatments are required?
Depending on the desired result, each chemical peel treats different areas. Generally, 4-6 treatments with any chemical peel, once a month will give you a desired result.
Can I combine a peel with microdermabrasion?
This is by far the most effective way to improve your skin's appearance. The micropeel will further break down the cell walls to further penetrate nutrients and moisturizers into the skin.
