Hair and Beauty Tips

There
are varying types of chemical peels that range from mild to
moderately aggressive. The type of peel tells you how deep into the
skin the peel will penetrate.

*
The alpha hydroxy acids do not penetrate into the skin as deeply as
the Jessner peel or other Beta Hydroxy peels.

*
The Trichloroacetic peels range from medium to deep in depth. The
acid is directly applied to the skin of the problem area, and the
length of time that it remains on the skin depends on the amount of
work you would prefer to have done.

As
with any type of skin boosting procedure, you may need to repeat the
procedure several times over the course of a few weeks to reach the
desired affect. The varying types of acids help to exfoliate the skin
and leave newly formed layers of skin.

Patients
from the Lexington or Louisville area who are interested in a
chemical peel, you are advised to seek a consultation with the Board
Certified surgeon as applying an acid or chemical to your skin is
best done in a professional environment. Your ultimate result is
enhanced by using medical acne/skin care products from lines such as
Obagi, BioMedic, and Skinceuticals. The RN Skin Care Specialist at
cosmetic surgery
Lexington offers complimentary consultations and will customize a
skin care program to meet your individual needs.
