Chemical Peels

What is chemical exfoliation and how does it benefit my skin?

Chemical exfoliation is the process of applying a customized concentration of solution to your skin.  Major considerations are skin type and condition, heredity, age, hormones, health and lifestyle.  The doctor/nurse will determine which treatment is best for you based on these factors.  You may experience a tingling sensation, slight stinging, or mild redness that may last for several minutes. The immediate result is the softer feel of your skin. A series of chemical exfoliation procedures, performed over weeks or months, along with a daily skin care regimen, sloughs away the top layer of dead skin cells to reveal fresher, healthier skin.

What kind of improvement can I expect with a chemical exfoliation treatment?

Improvements will vary from client to client. In general, you will notice improvements in:

  • - fine lines - irregular skin texture
  • - acneic skin - dehydrated skin
  • - sluggish skin - uneven skin tone
  • - photo damage - rosacea
  • - congested skin

How soon will I notice results? How often do I need to come?

You will feel an improvement in the softness of your skin in as little as 1 week. As the treatment progresses, you will notice a difference in the overall appearance if your skin. The frequency of visits will be determined by Dr. Wang and/or the nurse. Keep in mind that it will take several treatments before you see the optimal skin rejuvenation benefits.

Who is a candidate for a chemical exfoliation treatment?

Only a doctor can answer that question. During your initial consultation your medical history will be reviewed. It is essential to let your doctor know if you have experienced any of the following: active herpes simplex (cold sores), psoriasis, eczema, rosacea, recent surgeries, a bad sunburn, hypertrophic or keloidal scarring or used Accutane.
