Chemical Peels

The Perfect Peel

The Perfect Derma Peel is a revolutionary medium depth peel that transforms skin and creates a healthy complexion in just one treatment! It minimizes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, shrinks pore size, fades hyperpigmentation, lifts melasma and eliminates acne and acne scars. The Perfect Peel is the only chemical peel to contain a powerful antioxidant called Glutathione, which lightens and brightens the skin and helps slow down the overall aging process. This chemical peel is great for all skin types and ethnicities and is virtually painless with minimal downtime.

During your appointment we will cleanse and remove any excess oils, allowing the peel to penetrate deeper. Then, we will apply The Perfect Peel which will have a slight sting for about 30 seconds. The patient will leave with the peel on and sleep with it on overnight. We will send the patient home with a post peel kit and detailed instructions. Patients will begin to significantly peel day 3 through 6 and will be completely finished with the peeling process by day 7.

The Perfect Peel Frequently Asked Questions:

When Should I get The Perfect Peel?

The Perfect Peel is safe to do anytime of the year. You must be out of the sun before and during the peeling process.  If you have a sunburn prior to the treatment, you will need to reschedule. If you are getting the treatment before an event, we recommend allowing 2 weeks so your skin can be fully recovered.

How many treatments are necessary for visible improvement?

After just one treatment of The Perfect Peel, you will see dramatic improvement, but depending on the severity of the skin conditions, you may need multiple treatments to see desired results. A series of 2-3 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart will allow optimal improvement for more severe conditions, such as melasma and active acne. Otherwise, we recommend 2-3 treatments in a years time.

How long will results last?

Using proper skin care products at home will help to maintain the results of the peel. Patients can be treated with the peel 3 times per year to enhance and maintain results.

What skin types or ethnicities can do The Perfect Peel?

All skin types and ethnicities are safe to treat and will benefit from The Perfect Peel.

Do I need to precondition my skin prior to getting this treatment?

The Perfect Peel requires no preconditioning of the skin prior to treatment. Only those patients who use Accutane must be off for 12 months prior to treatment.

Does The Perfect Peel burn?

Patients may feel a slight stinging or tingling sensation, but it only lasts for about 30 seconds. The first pass of The Perfect Peel numbs the skin, making the rest of treatment comfortable. We also use a handheld fan to aid in comfort for the patient.

How severe is the peeling?

Typically, patients will start peeling 2 days after the peel (day 3) starting around the mouth and working its way outwards towards the perimeter of the face, and the peeling is generally completed by day 7. The peeling is a sloughing of thin sheets of the epidermis (top layer of skin) and may be slightly itchy and pink.

Can makeup be worn post peel?

The day of the peel, avoid putting on any makeup or other products. Patients go home with the peel on, and we recommend sleeping with the peel on and rinse off the next morning. The next day makeup can be worn, but once peeling begins, patients should avoid wearing face makeup and allow the skin to breath and heal.

Can The Perfect Peel be applied to other parts of the body other than the face?

The face, neck, chest and hands are the most common areas to perform The Perfect Peel, although it can be applied anywhere on the body. The healing time and results may vary for different areas of the body. It may take more treatments on the body to achieve the same results that you would on the face. This is because the skin on the body is more sensitive than the skin on the face, so we have to be lighter when applying the peel to the body.

Can I receive The Perfect Peel if I am pregnant or nursing?

If you are pregnant you cannot receive The Perfect Peel. Nursing patients can be treated, however the breast milk will need to be disposed 24-48 hours post treatment.

Micropeel

This medical strength facial removes the top dead cell layer of skin and is followed by a customized alpha-hydroxy acid solution. This peel is a safe, in-office treatment that requires little or no recovery time.

SkinMedica Vitalize Peel

This peel combines the benefits of alpha-hydroxy with retinoic acids to provide a strong but gentle formulation. With only one peel you will notice improvement in your skin’s texture and tone, lessening fine lines, and giving a more youthful and healthier appearance. Vitalize Peel has been clinically proven to help pigmentation problems such as mild acne scarring, age/sun spots minimizes pore size and also stimulates and increases collagen production. It is safe and effective for all skin types. No downtime.

Fire and Ice Facial 

IS Clinical’s Fire and Ice Facial is designed to safely resurface and rejuvenate the skin with no irritation or downtime.

The treatment begins with double cleansing the skin to remove makeup and impurities and to balance the skin’s PH levels.

Next, the “Intensive Resurfacing Masque” is applied for 3-5 minutes. (This is the “fire” part of the facial.) This mask is formulated with Sugarcane extract, a source of glycolic acid; green tea leaf extract; a natural form of Vitamin A (retinol); and Vitamin B3 (niacinamide.) This formula:

– Provides aggressive exfoliation without residual peeling

– Increases microcirculation and cellular metabolism

– Smooths and polishes skin

– Unclogs congested pores and minimize pore size

– Restores a healthy glow to skin

Once the mask is removed, the skin is cleansed again to balance PH levels. Extractions are performed now that the pores are less congested.

Next, the Rejuvenating Masque is applied. (This is the “ice” part of the facial.) This mask features botanically derived Hyaluronic Acid, Aloe, and extracts from Green Tea Leaf, Licorice Root, Grape Seed, and Rosemary Leaf. This mask:

– Provides powerful hydration

– Cools and refreshes the skin

– Calms inflammation

– Soothes post- procedural erythema (redness)

– Revitalizes aging and compromised skin

Once removed, the skin is finished with a blend of anti-aging products and sunscreen.

Because there is no downtime, it’s nickname is the “Red Carpet Facial,” as you can get this treatment right before an event.

CHEMICAL PEELS

A quick way to address several skin concerns.
Exfoliate your skin on a deeper level for a bright,  even-toned complexion.

Why It’s Special

  • Hit the reset button on your skin — ideal for texture, pores, and pigment, too! – Address visible signs of sun damage, rough texture, fine lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores, uneven skin tone, and acne.
  • If you’ve got a little downtime, this might be the option for you — your skin will be bright and smooth after a few days of shedding.

What to Expect

During your appointment we will cleanse and remove any excess oils, allowing the peel to penetrate deeper. Then, we will apply The Perfect Peel which will have a slight sting for about 30 seconds. The patient will leave with the peel on and sleep with it overnight. We will send the patient home with a post-peel kit and detailed instructions. Patients will begin to significantly peel day 3 through 6 and will be completely finished with the peeling process by day 7.
