THE PROCEDURE OF THE MONTH
Each month, we will feature one procedure performed at our center to educate our clients. The series will begin with the Chemical Peel.
Chemical peels come in many varieties. The light, or superficial, peels are performed by aestheticians or skin care specialists. The chemicals may include glycolic, salicylic, lactic or other fruit acids. These peels cause little or no downtime and are excellent for skin care maintenance and rejuvenation.
Medium depth chemical peels are usually performed by physicians. The peels used most often are the 30% to 35% TCA (trichloroacetic acid) peels and the straight 89% phenol peel. This peel is used to treat brown spots, uneven pigmentation, mild wrinkles and mild acne scars. Healing times is less than 7 days and mild redness fades in 4 to 6 weeks.

The workhorse of skin resurfacing is the Deep chemical peel. We use the Hetter Peel for deep skin resurfacing. The solution is a unique combination of Phenol and Croton Oil that can be applied in different strengths based on the individual patient's skin type and amount of skin rejuvenation needed. The peel is used to treat patients who have coarse facial wrinkles, severe sun damage, or pre-cancerous growths on their face. The dramatic results from this type of peel produce smoother, tighter, younger-looking skin.
