A chemical peel consists of a specifically formulated blend of chemicals applied directly to the treatment area. Because everyone has unique skincare needs, we customize each chemical peel mixture to directly address the patient’s specific goals and skin conditions. The chemicals cause the epidermis — the outer skin layer — to peel and slough away, bringing the underlying layers to the surface.
The details of each patient’s recovery process will vary depending on the strength of the chemicals used in the treatment. Some patients experience mild discomfort and redness.
A chemical peel can work in conjunction with other skincare treatments such as injectable wrinkle treatments or dermal fillers or after a facelifting procedure.
We offer a deluxe line of facials designed to meet the needs of individual patients.
This is our most comprehensive facial treatment, producing immediate, long-lasting results using premium, professional-grade ingredients and Japanese layering techniques. A 2-step cleanse is performed at the outset of the treatment, including a deep cleanse. The facial, which usually lasts more than an hour, includes a 20-minute Platinum face mask that lifts, tones, and tightens the skin.
Many of our patients are busy professionals who still want the skin rejuvenation that facials provide. This treatment doesn’t take as much time because the Platinum face mask isn’t included, but it still uses the pro-grade ingredients and gets visible results immediately.
For patients who come in for cosmetic injectable treatments, the post-injection facial is designed to speed recovery time, reduce the risk of swelling and bruising, and lift, tighten, and contour the face. It begins with the application of Forlle’d Hyalogy P-effect Reliance Gel, followed by the Hyalogy Platinum Face Mask. Forlle’d is a luxurious line of Japanese skin care products.
A chemical peel is a popular non-invasive cosmetic procedure for both women and men dealing with skin concerns. Ideal candidates for a chemical peel typically include individuals seeking to improve the appearance of their skin by addressing issues such as wrinkles, fine lines, uneven skin tone, acne scars, sun damage, and age spots. This rejuvenating treatment can provide significant benefits for various skin types and concerns.
Suitable Candidates:
The frequency of chemical peels depends on the type and depth of the peel performed, as well as the individual’s skin condition and goals. Generally, there are three main types of chemical peels:
The number of sessions required for optimal results will vary based on the individual’s skin condition and desired outcomes. Dr. DuPéré will recommend a personalized treatment plan during the consultation, guiding the patient on the appropriate frequency of chemical peels to achieve their skin rejuvenation goals effectively.
During a personalized consultation, Dr. DuPéré and his team of medical aestheticians will carefully assess the candidate’s skin type, specific concerns, and medical history. They will discuss the various chemical peel options available, ranging from superficial to deep peels, and recommend the most suitable treatment plan tailored to achieve the desired results. Laser peels may also be discussed. Dr. DuPéré’s expertise in cosmetic dermatology and plastic surgery ensures that each patient receives personalized care and achieves a radiant and refreshed complexion.
The common reasons for seeking a chemical or a laser peel include rejuvenating dull and tired-looking skin, reducing the signs of aging, improving acne-prone skin, and addressing pigmentation irregularities.
During a chemical peel, a specialized chemical solution is applied to the cleansed skin. The strength and type of solution used will vary depending on the specific skin concerns being addressed. The solution is left on the skin for a specific period, allowing it to penetrate and exfoliate the targeted layers. Afterward, the solution is neutralized, and the skin is gently cleansed.
Most chemical peels are well-tolerated by patients and involve minimal discomfort. Mild tingling or a burning sensation may be experienced during the treatment process, but this is generally temporary.
The downtime and recovery period after a chemical peel depend on the strength of the peel and the individual’s response to the treatment. Some peels may cause mild redness, flaking, or peeling of the skin, which can be managed with proper post-treatment care.
The results of a chemical peel can vary depending on the depth of the peel and individual skin characteristics. Superficial peels may provide temporary results that require maintenance treatments, while deeper peels can offer more long-lasting improvements.
Yes, a chemical peel can be combined with other non-surgical or surgical procedures for comprehensive skin rejuvenation. For example, a chemical peel can be complemented with laser treatments or dermal fillers to achieve enhanced results.
Chemical peels are generally safe when performed by experienced professionals like Dr. DuPéré and his team. However, as with any cosmetic procedure, there are potential risks, including skin irritation, hyper or hypopigmentation, or scarring. Dr. DuPéré will discuss these risks with you during the consultation and take every precaution to ensure a safe and successful outcome.
To explore chemical peel options and determine if you are a suitable candidate, schedule a consultation with Dr. Marc DuPéré. During this appointment, you will discuss your concerns about skin issues and aesthetic goals, allowing Dr. DuPéré to recommend a personalized treatment plan that achieves beautifully rejuvenated and refreshed skin.
