Chemical Peel Overview
Chemical peels are specialized dermatological treatments designed to remove dead skin cells and promote new skin growth. Dr. Aston offers chemical peel treatments in multiple strengths tailored to individual patient needs and skin conditions. This procedure utilizes a liquid acid solution to gently exfoliate the top layer of skin, revealing a fresher, smoother complexion.
Types of Chemical Peels
Superficial/Light Peels
The mildest peel option targeting the upper skin layer, typically using diluted glycolic acid. Characterized by minimal downtime and slight redness, patients can expect:
- Treatment duration of several minutes
- Peeling period of 3-5 days
- Ability to apply makeup after healing
Medium Depth Peels
These peels penetrate deeper into the skin, utilizing Trichloreacetic Acid (TCA) to address moderate to severe wrinkles and skin irregularities. Key characteristics include:
- Controlled acid application
- Approximately 10-day recovery period
- Slight pink skin tone during healing
Deep Peels
The most aggressive chemical peel approach, typically using Phenol to treat severe skin wrinkling and facial irregularities. Important considerations include:
- Extended recovery period up to 14 days
- Deep pink skin coloration for several weeks
- Excellent results with significant skin transformation
Treatment Considerations
Each chemical peel procedure follows similar application steps, with variations in acid solution, quantity, and duration. Patients must allow natural peeling and avoid sun exposure during the recovery period.
Patient Experience
Discomfort levels vary depending on the peel intensity. Light peels involve minimal stinging, while medium and deep peels may require mild pain management. Dr. Aston's expertise ensures a comfortable and professional treatment experience.
