Chemical peels can improve the appearance of the skin on the face, neck, or hands. A chemical solution is applied to the skin, which makes it eventually peel off. The type of chemical will determine how deep the peel goes. As the treated area heals, the skin is usually smoother and less wrinkled. Chemical peels can treat fine lines, dry skin, and acne as well as mild skin pigmentation issues.
CoolSculpting® employs a process known as Cryolipolysis. (“Cryo” = cold + “lipo” = fat cells + “lysis” = cell death and removal.) During treatment, stubborn fat deposits are subjected to controlled cooling.
The controlled cooling safely penetrates the skin. Subcutaneous fat cells begin to freeze. This ruptures the cell’s membrane. The ruptured fat cells are flagged for apoptosis –cell death and removal.
Over the passage of several weeks, the body’s immune system gathers the demolished fat cells. Frozen fat cells ultimately exit the body as waste. These fat cells cannot return or be replaced.
Our skin goes through many changes over the years as we age. The effects of acne, sun damage, stress, and other factors can start to show very visibly on our face as we get older. A chemical peel is an extremely effective, FDA-cleared skincare treatment that can help improve the overall appearance of the face, neck, and hands.
Experiencing issues with our skin and signs of aging can be frustrating and negatively affect our self-confidence. A chemical peel can help correct the following skin issues:
The safety and effectiveness of a chemical peel largely depends on who is performing it. It’s extremely important that a trusted and experienced medical professional performs this treatment. Performing a chemical peel is a very specialized process and varies from person to person.
If a chemical peel is recommended to you during an initial skin consultation, our team will work with you on thoughtfully scheduling it. This treatment does need to be planned since there is some downtime involved and you’ll need 1-2 weeks after where you aren’t committed to any events.
During the treatment, a safe solution is applied to the desired areas of skin that need correction. Within a few days, you can expect a layer of your skin to exfoliate and peel off revealing healthier skin. The results leave your skin looking more youthful and rejuvenated.
Your skin will be sensitive following treatment, so it’s important that sun exposure is limited. Our team will make any post-treatment recommendations during your appointment, but applying sunscreen and wearing any type of protection afterwards will be key.
Chemical peels are considered a resurfacing treatment, so there are different depths from light-to-deep that can be recommended depending on your skin’s condition.
More dramatic results are achievable with a deep chemical peel, but they are only recommended with very unique cases. Deep chemical peels require a lot more time to recover as they are a lot more invasive than the other depth options. With any chemical peel though, we recommend being thoughtful about when they are scheduled so that there’s not an event soon after your treatment.
Chemical peels are not a recommended treatment for everyone. There are several factors, including certain skin conditions and medications, that would make this not the right treatment approach for you:
Before a chemical peel is recommended, our team at DermatologyExperts will do a thorough consultation that includes discussing your history, examining your skin, and what your goals are for your skin. All treatment approaches will be discussed to ensure you are fully informed on your options.
