Chemical Peels

WHAT CONDITIONS ARE TREATED BY CHEMICAL PEELS?

Although most chemical peels are used to improve facial skin, other areas on the body may also benefit from chemical peels, such as the neck, hands, or décolleté area. A chemical peel can benefit you if you have any of the following skin conditions:

• Acne
• Blemishes
• Dry, flaking skin
• Growths on the skin, including pre-cancerous growths
• Freckles
• Scars
• Sun damage
• Sunspots
• Uneven pigmentation
• Wrinkles and fine lines

WHO SHOULD CONSIDER A CHEMICAL PEEL?

A chemical peel can benefit almost any healthy man or woman, although the procedure is not recommended for individuals who are pregnant or nursing.

ARE THERE DIFFERENT TYPES OF CHEMICAL PEELS?

There are a number of different chemical peels to choose from, and they vary in composition, goal, and strength. Some formulas correct only the outermost layer of skin, while others treat deeper layers beneath the surface. Deeper peels are considered more invasive and require a lengthier recovery period but produce more dramatic results. Two of our most common peels are The Vi Peel and APEELE™.

• Vi Peel – The Vi Peel is a “go-to” treatment for many of our patients. In as little as seven days after treatment, our patients notice softened lines and wrinkles, a more even skin tone, and a smoother texture.
• APEELE™ – As a next-generation chemical peel, APEELE™ provides controlled exfoliation of damaged skin. Many of our patients see significant results after just one treatment. APEELE™ is ideal for reducing photodamage, hyperpigmentation, and acne and is safe on all skin types.

RECOVERY FROM CHEMICAL PEELS

Depending on the type of chemical peel, full recovery may take up to 7 to 10 days with peeling, skin sensitivity, and redness during this period. The new layer of skin that emerges after a chemical peel is extremely sensitive to sunlight, so it is important that you wear protective clothing and use sunscreen at all times when going outdoors, especially during the first few weeks after treatment. In men, shaving of facial hair must also be postponed during the recovery period after a chemical peel so as not to shave off delicate skin cells. A series of peels and at-home skin care is recommended for best results.
