Cosmetic Peels / chemical peels
Chemical peels can improve the appearance of skin marked by wrinkles, fine lines, freckles, dark blotches or other signs of aging or sun damage. They can be performed on the face, neck, chest, hands, arms and legs. A chemical peel is a non-surgical procedure that removes damaged surface skin cells and stimulates the growth of new, healthy skin cells. Peels are performed by the application of an acidic solution to the skin for a period of time. This causes the "exfoliation" or removal of damaged surface-layer skin cells, stimulating the growth of new cells and allowing healthier skin to resurface. The skin's new surface appears healthier, tighter and rejuvinated. The type of chemical used and the degree of exfoliation needed (superficial, medium or deep) are determined by Dr. Landy in accordance with your skin type and desired results.
A series of sequential peels maybe necessary for maximum results. The peels are combined with pre and post treatment skin care requirements to obtain maximum benefits with minimum downtime. Dr. Landy will help design a skin care regimen to obtain lasting results.
