Chemical peels are helpful for wrinkles, light acne scarring and irregular pigmentation such as freckles and age spots. Pre-cancerous conditions such as keratoses (thick, rough, reddish growths) also respond well to this procedure.
There are several types of chemical peels:
|
- A light peel to remove superficial wrinkles.
- A medium peel to help decrease skin discoloration.
- A deep peel for more severe conditions.
|
After thoroughly cleansing the skin, a small applicator is used to apply the chemical solution to an area of the face. Excess solution is removed and the procedure is repeated on other areas.
The amount of improvement varies and depends upon the initial condition of the patient's skin and the depth of the peel selected. Significant improvement of damaged skin can be achieved, producing dramatic results.
Skin Rejuvenation
A skin rejuvenation program is often used in conjunction with either chemical peels or laser wrinkle reduction to reduce the fine wrinkles of the face, lighten areas of hyper-pigmentation and produce a softer texture to the skin. The program can be accomplished separately or in conjunction with the other procedures listed here and is followed at home by the patient after a consultation and a treatment plan is established. Our Medi-Spa is dedicated to providing you with the latest and most effective skin treatments available in an effort to maintain surgical results.
We invite you to inquire about laser skin resurfacing as it can help you achieve smoother, fresher, younger-looking skin.
