Chemical peels are used to improve texture and complexion of
the skin and give a more youthful and healthy appearance.
Various agents are used to soften and reduce fine wrinkles,
sun damage and age spots on the face, neck, chest, arms and
legs. Acne and certain pigmentation problems can also be
improved with a series of chemical peels. Healing time is
minimal and most patients return to work the same day as the
procedure. Our office works with various peeling agents
including Beta Lift,
Vi Peel and Skinceuticals Gel Peel that are chosen
based on your skin type and condition.
The desire to
reverse the aging process and remove facial blemishes has
generated tremendous interest throughout history. Chemical
peeling is a procedure to improve the texture of the skin.
The goal of chemical peeling is to remove a controlled
thickness of damaged skin in order to stimulate normal
healing and skin rejuvenation.
The effects of chemical peeling are similar to what can be
achieved with other skin resurfacing methods, with a few
important differences.
Photofacials and
Microdermabrasion
also achieve rejuvenation of the skin, and you are
encouraged to read about those alternative procedures as
well.
Chemical peels involve the application of solutions to the
skin to cause exfoliation of the damaged, outer layers.
Chemical peels are generally the least expensive of the
three methods available for improvement of the quality of
your facial skin. There are many types of chemical peels
available today. We offer our
patients a variety of options to address the concerns of
each individual.

Beta-Lift® Peel
Take years off your
face in just five minutes with ß-Liftx®, an
advanced skin renewal treatment. Based on an
innovative formulation of beta hydroxy acid
created by the inventor of Retin-A, ß-Liftx®
makes skin glow with a more youthful
appearance and no recovery time.
|
Exceptionally safe and
extremely effective, ß-Liftx removes dead, dull cells
from the surface of your skin, reaching into and
affecting even fine lines and tiny surface
imperfections. Using salicylic acid and Microsponge®
technology, ß-Liftx loosens the bonds of the
epidermis, which triggers shedding of old skin cells
and a burst of new cell growth. It differs from
traditional chemical peels in that it automatically
stops after it has distributed all of its renewing
stimulus.
Regular ß-Liftx peels are an excellent means of
revitalizing the facial skin and reducing the need for
more invasive procedures. It is a well-suited chemical
peel for acne, rosacea, and enlarged pores.
