WHAT IS A CHEMICAL PEEL?
As skin cells renew, older layers become dull and worn. A chemical peel is a specialized in-office treatment that uses specific chemical solutions to exfoliate and remove damaged outer layers, revealing healthier, more vibrant skin. This versatile treatment improves texture, addresses imperfections, and restores a youthful glow.
Chemical peel solutions typically have active ingredients such as trichloroacetic acid, alpha-hydroxy acids, or phenol, each chosen for their ability to address specific skin conditions. As a board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Margoles ensures her patients receive safe, effective treatments customized to their needs.
BENEFITS OF CHEMICAL PEELS
Whether you seek a one-time treatment to prepare for a special event or need ongoing skin rejuvenation, chemical peels provide numerous benefits:
- Treat acne and acne scars
- Even out skin tone
- Reduce signs of aging, such as wrinkles
- Diminish sun damage
- Improve the appearance of facial scars
- Address precancerous skin lesions
Versatility is one of the most appealing aspects of chemical peels. While they are an excellent stand-alone procedure, you can also enhance your results with complementary procedures. Patients value the ability to maintain their youthful radiance without surgery.
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING AND AFTER A. CHEMICAL PEEL AT KÁLLOS MEDICAL AESTHETICS
Dr. Margoles adopts a personalized approach to every chemical peel. During your consultation, she will evaluate your skin type, concerns, and goals to recommend the most appropriate peel for you.
Treatment
- Preparation: We will thoroughly cleanse your skin before beginning the peel to remove makeup, dirt, and oil.
- Application: Next, we’ll carefully apply the chemical solution to your skin. You may experience a mild tingling or warming sensation as the solution works to exfoliate dead skin cells.
- Neutralization, removal, and post-peel care: After the peel has completed its process, we will neutralize and remove the solution. Hydrating serums and moisturizers will soothe and nourish, promoting optimal healing.
Recovery and Aftercare
Most patients can return to their daily routines immediately after a mild or moderate peel. However, deep peels may require downtime. Following treatment, your skin will begin its natural healing process. You may notice flaking, redness, or mild peeling as old skin cells shed, revealing the fresh, radiant complexion beneath.
Recovery tips:
- Avoid direct sun exposure and always use a broad-spectrum sunscreen.
- Refrain from using products containing retinol or vitamin C for five days before and after treatment.
Follow your customized aftercare plan, which may include using soothing ointments or moisturizers as directed by Dr. Margoles. For deeper peels, we will provide additional instructions and precautions to ensure safe and effective healing for optimal results.
POST-CHEMICAL PEEL RECOVERY IN GREENWICH, CT
Chemical peel recovery is generally swift, with most patients able to continue their day immediately following a light or medium peel. For deeper peels, a short period of downtime may be necessary. The skin’s natural regeneration process may result in temporary redness and peeling, and occasionally, swelling or scabbing, depending on the intensity of the peel.
You will receive comprehensive aftercare instructions, including the use of specific ointments and the importance of sun protection. To optimize results and minimize irritation, it’s recommended to avoid skincare products containing AHA, retinol, and vitamin C for several days pre- and post-treatment.
ENHANCING YOUR RESULTS WITH DERMAPLANING
Dr. Margoles often enhances chemical peels with dermaplaning – a technique that gently removes dead skin and fine facial hair with a specialized handheld tool. This combination minimizes pores and wrinkles, while leaving your skin smoother, brighter, and more receptive to topical products.
