Chemical Peels

Look As Young As You Feel

Every day, your body naturally exfoliates thousands of old skin cells to make way for healthy new cells and keep your skin smooth, tight and young looking. Over time however, your body’s natural ability to maintain this effective exfoliation process slows down. The result can cause uneven skin discoloration, leave your complexion looking dull and accentuate the fine lines of age and sun damage.

Regain Your Youthful Appearance, Improve Your Confidence

To help restore your complexion and youthful beauty, West Dermatology offers chemical peels, a simple yet extremely effective age-defying treatment. Performed as an outpatient procedure, we offer light to heavy peels using proven, gentle products. Each of these treatments is very safe.

After evaluating your particular skin condition and determining which type of peel will achieve your desired result, we apply the chemical solution to create an even and controlled exfoliation. In the days following the procedure, the process gently peels layers of old, damaged cells away from your skin and stimulates the generation of healthy new cells. The results leave your complexion more even-colored, softer and visibly firmer. In the case of medium to heavy peels, your acne scars become smoother and wrinkles are noticeably reduced.

Results

As with all medical procedures, individual reactions to the chemical peels may vary. However, most patients experience varying degrees of warmth followed by a tingling sensation in the treated area. In many ways, the slight discomfort of a light peel is very similar to what you would experience with a mild sunburn. Deeper peels require the removal of more layers of skin, so expect the recovery time for these procedures to be a little longer. These procedures may result in some swelling at first and peeling that may last up to two weeks.

After your procedure, we will instruct you how to properly care for your new skin and will review with you a skin-care program that will not only ensure proper healing, but help you protect your renewed complexion for years to come.

A Combined Effort

As dedicated professionals, we look forward to working closely with you to select an appropriate treatment for your individual skin care needs. Call us today so our experienced staff can review the procedure with you, discuss your options and explain the results you can expect to achieve through rejuvenation peels.
