Chemical Peels Chelmsford, Massachusetts
As the skin ages, both chronologically and with sun damage and photoaging, the outermost layer of our skin (composed of dead skin cells) adheres for a longer period of time and becomes a thicker layer. This imparts dryness, toughness, and a yellow dull coloration to the skin. Chemical peels are a great option for skin rejuvenation. They work by loosening the “glue” that binds the dead skin cells together at this outermost layer of your skin. Chemical peels achieve a more uniform exfoliation than occurs naturally. This exfoliation of dead skin cells exposes the healthier skin cells below, increases the rate of new skin cell turnover, and stimulates production of collagen and elastin. There are many different types of peels with different depths of exfoliation. Our Medical Esthetician can help you determine which of the following peels may be best for you to achieve your skin care goals.
Jessner’s Peel
This peel is a superficial peel comprised of three different peeling agents: resorcinol, lactic, and salicylic acid. Each agent acts in a slightly different manner, making the solution highly effective and predictable. A Jessner’s Peel smoothes and rejuvenates sun-damaged skin. It is indicated for patients with mild to severe acne, melasma, moderate wrinkling, and actinic damage. There is little or no down time. Most patients will experience mild to moderate flaking of the skin starting approximately 3 days after the peel and will continue for approximately 3 days. For optimal results, this peel is done in a series of 6 peels, done once every 2 weeks by our Medical Esthetician.
Rejuvenize Peel
A superficial peel that penetrates into the deeper layers of the epidermis and produces the most exfoliation. Most patients should expect to peel for about 5-7 days. The formulation includes a unique blend of peeling agents: alpha-hydroxy acids, beta-hydroxy acids, resorcinol and retinoic acid. This peel is indicated for patients with moderate to severe skin conditions including sun damage, lines and wrinkles, acne, acne scarring and melasma. Results can be seen after just one peel with full results after a series of 3 treatments which are performed once every 4-6 weeks.
