Chemical Peels & Facials

Chemical peels penetrate the dermis (the second layer of skin), which allows for a deeper, more extensive treatment than a facial. A DC facial is great for improving the general health of skin by cleansing and exfoliating.

During your consultation, we’ll discuss your skin care concerns and goals. Based on those, we will recommend a peel that best suits your needs.

The chemical peel options include:

Mild Peels

• Glycolic Peel: This mild peel will help penetrate products and reduce the appearance of fine lines.
• Modified Jessners Peel: This a mild peel used to treat areas which have varying pigmentation and for oily skin.
• Lactic Peel: Great for all skin types, this mild peel brightens the skin and increases moisture retention.
• Salicylic Peel: This peel works best for oil or acne prone skin and will resurface the skin to flush the pores of impurities.

Deep Peels

This more extensive peel requires minimal downtime and will improve tone, texture, and clarity, in addition to softening lines and improving the appearance of hyperpigmentation. Some of the deep peels we offer are:

• ViPeel
• ZO 3-Step Peel
• TCA Peel

Benefits:

• Reduces fine skin wrinkles
• Improves signs of sun damage and aging
• Restores skin elasticity
• Tightens skin fibers

For our patients, the most popular peel is the ZO 3 step peel.

Why it’s popular:

• An innovative, in-office treatment peel followed by an at-home treatment to combat the signs of aging and skin discoloration.
• Utilizes a blend of exfoliants, retinol and multi-action agents to help improve skin health and treat many signs of aging
• Provides antioxidant protection as well as anti-irritant benefits

We encourage patients to bring sunscreen or a hat to wear outside following the procedure to protect from environmental exposure. Based on the level of the chemical peel you choose, you should expect the face to peel and itch for a few days. It’s crucial to not scratch as it can cause scarring to occur.

Yes! There are compatible procedures that can help you achieve your skin care goals. This can be an injectable, like Botox or Juvéderm, other skincare treatments like IPL, or surgical procedures such as a face lift or brow lift.

Skin care isn’t a one size fits all and to see the best results possible it might be that there are various treatments and at home products to achieve your skin care goals.
