For Deeper Chemical Peels

Resurfacing procedures to remove old, dead skin and reduce fine lines have been performed for ages, and the finesse that can be achieved with designer chemical peels is unmatched! Simple to perform and relaxing, these treatments are performed in the office and do not require anesthesia. Depending on your goals and skin type, our medical aesthetician and physician team will easily determine the right depth your skin requires, selecting one of our treatments listed below. So sit back and relax. Healthier skin is just a peel away!

It is important to inform our aestheticians as to what products/medications you are using, as certain products and medications should be discontinued 3 days prior to a glycolic peel. These include tretinoin, retin-A, retinol, antibiotics, and benzoyl peroxide.

There is some downtime with these treatments, and Dr. Capone administers these peels personally to ensure great results and a speedy recovery.

Aftercare Instructions:

Depending on the depth of your chemical peels, there are varying degrees of associated aftercare, and our skin care team will provide you with specific aftercare instructions. In general, it is ok to wash your face with very gentle cleanser the day after a peel, but NEVER scrub or pick at flakiness. For superficial chemical peels, begin wearing sunscreen immediately after your peel and avoid direct sun exposure for 4 to 6 weeks. For deeper chemical peels, you won’t be able to use sunscreen initially so limiting sun exposure is a must. (Usually sunscreen can be resumed by about 1 week.) Peel patients should avoid hot showers, saunas, and heavy exercise until cleared by your aesthetician. If scabbing does occur, keep the area moisturized and inform our medical aesthetician. Never pick or rub. We will let you know when it’s appropriate to resume use of your regular skin care regimen.
