CHEMICAL PEELS For Fresher, Younger Looking Skin Treatment with chemical peels dates back hundreds, if not thousands of years. Today, performing physician-strength chemical peels has almost become a lost art. Although lasers are now considered new and "high-tech," for some patients, and for some aesthetic problems, a chemical peel can provide better results. There are various types and strengths of chemical peels. Dr. Laufer customizes the treatment for each patient, depending on the skin condition being treated. For example, there is a general "freshening" peel, a peel to improve fine lines and wrinkles, a peel to reduce excess pigmentation, and a peel to improve acne. before                               after Treatment is painless, with only a brief feeling of mild to moderate warmth. Skin reaction after treatment depends on the strength of the chemical peel. Mild to moderate redness may occur immediately after treatment. After a few days, mild to moderate flaking of the skin may occur. A good sunscreen and moisturizer is required for a few days after treatment, and sun exposure should be minimized. A series of chemical peels can be done to freshen the skin, to reduce signs of aging and sun damage, to reduce hyperpigmentation, and to improve acne. Maintenance peels can then be done on a regular basis to continue the improvement. In addition, a chemical peel can be used in combination with many other aesthetic treatments, such as Vibradermabrasion, BOTOX and injectable fillers. For more than twenty years, Dr. Laufer has offered this unique and safe therapy to rejuvenate and refresh the skin. To see if you might benefit from a chemical peel, please contact our office.
