Chemical peels treatment and benefits in New York NY: A guide

The beauty of chemical peels comes, partly, from their “design.” By exfoliating the outermost layers of skin, a healthy healing process is triggered. As the skin heals, a new and refreshed texture and appearance are revealed.

A solution is applied evenly to the treatment area to stimulate this regenerative process. Numerous formulations are available to reveal fresh skin cells. The formula that is best for you depends on the cosmetic concern you wish to treat. Other products and treatments are additive; for instance, dermal fillers specifically add volume to sunken areas, wrinkles, folds, and neuromodulators (like Botox) soften expression lines.

Chemical peels can do many things, including improving the appearance of conditions such as:

• Uneven skin tone
• Leathery texture
• Sun damage, such as age spots
• Melasma (“mask of pregnancy”) hyperpigmentation
• Acne outbreaks
• Acne scars
• Wrinkles
• Lines
• Sallow, lackluster complexion

Some solutions and, in turn, types of chemical peels may be more appropriate for you than for other patients. Light or superficial peels slough off the outer skin layers, taking with it old, damaged skin cells. Medium peels penetrate the deeper layers of the outer epidermis and the uppermost part of the underlying dermis layer. This peel type may be appropriate for individuals with acne scars, deeper wrinkles, and other moderate signs of sun damage, such as pigment irregularities. 

A personalized experience

Each type of peel and formulation affects different layers of the skin. So, you can expect different results, healing, and care following treatment. For example, multiple superficial peels may be needed to get the results that you desire. But, as a “lunchtime” peel, these simple approaches allow you to get back to work and other activities right away. Medium peels can facilitate noticeable improvements after a single session, but redness and swelling may persist in the days or weeks following treatment. Deep peels get dramatic results but aren’t appropriate for everybody and require more extensive home care and downtime.
