Rejuvenating Skin Peels

How is the peel done? First during a Micropeel the dead cellular layers are removed with a process called dermaplaning, or by using a papaya enzyme treatment to dissolve the dead skin cells. After this either a light glycolic solution or lactic acid is applied to the skin. The final step of the Micropeel is a skin freezing process called Cryogenic Therapy. Carbon dioxide is applied to the face for the purpose of relieving any inflammation and redness as well as cooling the skin.

A light glycolic or lactic peel is a quick and effective way to gently exfoliate and smooth the skin with no down time. A series of four to six peels spaced two weeks apart significantly improves skin texture, evens out skin color, helps control acne, and thickens the lower layer of the skin to diminish fine lines.

Light Peels

Are you a Candidate? If your skin has mild environmental damage or superficial acne scars, or if you have acneic skin you may be a candidate for a light chemical peel. Light Peels are also an instant refresher to any skin type.

What is Recovery Like? There is usually no down time involved with a light chemical peel. Patients may apply cosmetics and return to normal activity directly following the procedure. Patients need to use a sun block to protect their skin after any peel. A home care program will be recommended for your particular skin type.

Medium-Depth Peels

Are You a Candidate? If you want to remove facial skin irregularities and reduce fine wrinkles, you may be a candidate for a medium-depth peel.

How is the Procedure Performed? Medium-depth peels are achieved by a variety of acids, used alone or in combination, to attain a deeper effect on both the epidermis and the dermis. Medium-depth peels can be done every six to twelve months. The upper skin layer literally peels, and new, fresh dermal collagen is stimulated along with a fresh new superficial skin layer.

What is Recovery Like? Healing usually occurs within a week, and some mild, persistent redness can linger for a few weeks. Patients can usually return to normal activities five to ten days after the procedure, depending on the depth of the peel.
