Chemical peels have graced skincare routines for centuries, a testament to the human desire for radiant skin. Ancient texts recount the application of various substances to the face, a pursuit of beauty that echoes through time. Today, chemical peels are a cornerstone of modern skincare, a refined technique that rejuvenates and revitalizes the complexion. Rediscover radiance with chemical peels at Advanced Facial Plastic Surgery in Dallas, TX.
What Is a Chemical Peel?
Many products are currently available for chemical resurfacing of the skin, from over-the-counter superficial peeling agents to deep peeling chemicals that only a physician should apply in a controlled setting. Many of these products and procedures have proven very successful in improving the quality and appearance of facial skin. The goal of chemical peeling is to remove a controlled uniform thickness of damaged skin to improve and smooth the texture of the facial skin by removing the superficial layers and stimulating a wound-healing response. In response to the chemical injury, a healing reaction occurs, yielding the clinical appearance of rejuvenation and a refreshed skin surface.
Our Treatment Options
At ADVANCED, our professional medical aestheticians can customize a chemical peel regimen to meet your aesthetic needs from Light “Lunch Time” Peels to Deeper Peel treatments.
Light “Lunch Time” Peels
(These can be coupled with Microdermabrasion for enhanced benefit)
- “The Z Peel” – Our most gentle peel is designed with mushroom extracts to promote exfoliation, remove surface blackheads, and eliminate dull, dehydrated skin to gently reveal a refreshed complexion. Recommended for dry, flaky, and dehydrated skin.
- Lactic Peel – Milder on the skin than other peels, the Lactic Acid peeling agent is more moisturizing, making it ideal for refreshing dry, sensitive, and rosacea skin types.
- Glycolic Peel – An excellent superficial peel, glycolic acid is an alpha hydroxyl acid derived from sugar cane that acts as a keratolytic agent (removes the top layers of skin) and opens blocked pores, leaving a smoother skin surface. Safe for all skin types, recommended for oily/ combination skin.
- Salicylic Peel – Effectively exfoliates the skin, treating blemishes including blackheads and whiteheads, for a deep pore cleansing. Salicylic acid, a beta hydroxyl acid from willow tree bark, is not recommended for those allergic to aspirin. Alone or with Microdermabrasion, this peel refines the skin’s texture and minimizes enlarged pores by killing acne bacteria and the oil that the bacteria feed from. Recommended for acne/oily skin.
Medium-Depth Chemical Peels
- Jessner’s Peel – The lightest of the medium peels, Jessner’s is a solution comprised of both beta and alpha hydroxyl acids, including resorcinol, lactic, and salicylic acids. This peel improves and smoothes facial skin texture by removing the damaged outer layers. Beneficial for clogged pores, thick skin, acne, hyperpigmentation, and environmentally or photo-damaged skin. Best suited for fair skin types.
- Vi Peel – contains a synergistic combination of ingredients to improve skin tone, texture, and clarity. Achieving skin repair and a healthy glow to reduce hyperpigmentation, including melasma, acne, and sun damage. This innovative peel can be performed on all skin types and customized for your specific needs.
