WHAT IS A CHEMICAL PEEL?

A chemical peel involves brushing a liquid onto the face that removes dead skin cells and stimulates new cells to grow. There are three different levels of chemical peel:

“EXTREMELY KNOWLEDGEABLE, THOROUGH ATTENTION TO DETAIL”

A Superficial Peel

A superficial peel removes skin cells from only the top level of the skin (epidermis).
The chemical only needs to be left on the skin for a few minutes to be effective, but afterward your face may feel tight for several hours.
The results from a superficial peel are reasonable, but regular treatment is required to maintain the effect.

A Medium Peel

Medium peels remove cells from the top and middle layers of the skin. A stronger chemical is needed, so you may feel a stinging or burning sensation when the peel is applied.
It is normal for the skin to go brown or red in the days following your treatment, and it can take up to six weeks for it to return to normal.
The results from a medium peel are more dramatic but still temporary, and you may find that you need to repeat the treatment every 6 to 9 months to maintain the effect.

A Deep Peel

A deep peel will affect the deeper layers of the skin and is a much more comprehensive procedure. Most patients require an anesthetic and sedative to remain comfortable and calm during the process, as the peel may be left on the face for 30 minutes or more to achieve the desired effect.

A freezing sensation may be felt when it is applied, and Dr. Raskin will need to monitor your heart rate and blood pressure during the procedure, as the chemical used can affect the heart and kidneys.

After your procedure, your face will probably be swollen, which can last for up to a fortnight. You may also experience some peeling in the days after, and redness which could persist for several months. Most patients also find that they need to take some pain relief for a few days after their procedure.

The results of a deep peel are quite drastic, and the patient will usually find that their skin has lightened by a number of shades. Deep peels are not usually repeated as the effects are long-lasting.

AM I A SUITABLE CANDIDATE FOR A CHEMICAL PEEL?

Before you can be approved for any treatment, you will need to attend a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Raskin. At this appointment, Dr. Raskin will ask you for detailed information about your health, general well-being and lifestyle, as well as undertake an examination of your face. This will help her determine which facial procedure will best achieve your goals.

If you would like to reduce the signs of aging on your face without having surgery, then alternative facial procedures could be the perfect solution.
