Chemical Peels

A chemical peel is a chemical exfoliation that aides in brightening, smoothing and polishing the skin. There are different levels of peels. The chemical offered with the microdermabrasion is a mild, low depth peel called a superficial peel. This can include enzyme peels, glycolic acid 30% or lower, lactic acid 30% or lower, and salicylic acid. Chemical peels can improve texture of the skin, barrier function, and moisture retention. (Barrier function: protects the top layer of skin from irritation and dehydration) It also helps cell turnover rate, hydration, surface pigmentation, and stimulates elastin and collagen production.

Superficial or Lunchtime Peel (Coming Soon!)

This is the lightest and most surface type of chemical peel. The active ingredient is alpha-hydroxy acid or another mild acid that exfoliates the skin. Because it is superficial, Dr. Bryant can use this method to minimize minor skin discolorations and imperfections.

Medium Peel Coming Soon!

A medium peel is a deeper treatment that repairs damaged skin cells. It is based on glycolic or trichloroacetic acid. In a word, this technique gets rid of moderate fine lines and wrinkles, freckles, spots, and skin discoloration. Additionally, it can smooth rough areas and remove precancerous skin growths.

Deep Peel Coming Soon!

For the deepest penetration, Dr. Bryant will apply a blend of trichloroacetic acid or phenol. Subsequently, this treatment goes deep into the skin. Because the treatment is deep, it can only be performed once in a lifetime. Scars, freckles, and age spots will disappear.

General Information

Lastly, chemical peels are a non-surgical procedure. Thus, with the exception of the deep peel, they can be repeated multiple times. Additionally, this procedure work well with other skin treatments such as Botox or dermal fillers.
