Light chemical peels can rejuvenate and refresh skin, reduce blemishes and improve texture with minimal downtime.
These light peels are useful for:
- Pigmentation that can occur from acne lesions, burns, and other injuries as well as pigmentation from sun damage and melasma.
- Correction of mild sun damage
- Facial acne, especially clogged pores and pigmentation
- Acne on back and chest – areas that are hard to treat with medications
- Maintenance of fresh, healthy-looking skin
Peels can remove dead skin layers, clear pores, improve hydration and reduce blemishes. At Charlotte Skin & Laser, Dr. Rostan and her staff can evaluate your skin and choose a facial service that is ideal for you and your skin.
Chemical peels are often combined with additional services and procedures to help achieve your skin goals. Peels combined with pore extractions or Vibradermabrasion can give enhanced exfoliation and pore cleansing. Laser or IPL treatments with chemical peels can effectively correct sun damage, improve texture and reduce blemishes. Acne treatments are enhanced with the use of chemical peels followed by BLU light, PDT and/or laser acne treatment such as VBeam or Smoothbeam.
Light Chemical Peels
Jessner’s Peel
Jessner’s chemical peel is a superior treatment designed to remove superficial layers of skin and target many different skin issues. It is one of the most effective light cosmetic peels available. A series of Jessner’s peels can be helpful to lighten areas of hyperpigmentation, improve skin texture and the appearance of sun-damaged skin, and clear pores and reduce acne.
Acne Treatment Peels
Chemical peels with or without pore extractions can significantly improve acne and are often an integral part of an acne treatment plan. Peels helpful for acne include Jessner’s, glycolic and salicylic acid (or beta- hydroxy), tretinoin and TCA. Combination peels can increase efficacy and target specific problem areas such as hydroquinone to dark areas. Peels are scheduled every 2-3 weeks until your skin is clear, then quarterly or monthly peels are recommended for maintenance.
Gel Peels – Salicylic/Mandelic acid and Glycolic/Salicylic acid
These combination peels exfoliate the skin and clear pores while accelerating the cell renewal process, revitalizing photodamaged skin and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The addition of mandelic acid reduces irritation. The Gel Peels above can be combined to work synergistically as well.
All of above peels:
