Chemical peels are a popular nonsurgical skincare treatment designed to improve the texture and appearance of the skin by removing the outer layers. These treatments effectively address fine lines, acne scars, uneven skin tone, and sun damage.
At Ladner Facial Plastic Surgery, board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Keith Ladner leads a skilled team to deliver personalized chemical peels to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.
What Are Chemical Peels?
Chemical peels are a noninvasive cosmetic treatment that exfoliates and rejuvenates the skin by applying a chemical solution to remove damaged skin cells in the outer layer. The treatment also stimulates the production of collagen, which triggers the skin’s natural healing process, leading to smoother, brighter, and more radiant skin.
Common ingredients used in chemical peels include alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), such as glycolic acids, and beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), like salicylic acids and trichloroacetic acids (TCAs), each offering varying levels of exfoliation.
Types of Chemical Peels
Everyone’s skin is different — we each have unique goals and skin sensitivities that must be addressed. Each chemical peel treatment is individualized for each client based on their concerns or desired results. Different chemical formulations are used to address various skin concerns.
We offer three types of chemical peels:
- Superficial peels: These treatments are also known as mild chemical peels. They target the outermost layer of the skin and treat minor imperfections like fine lines, acne and uneven skin tone.
- Medium peels: This chemical peel penetrates deeper into the skin to treat more pronounced concerns such as wrinkles, scarring and hyperpigmentation. Medium peels provide more noticeable results than superficial peels.
- Deep peels: These are the most intensive chemical peels. They penetrate the lower layers of the skin to treat severe skin concerns, like deep wrinkles, severe scars and significant sun damage. They lead to more dramatic skin improvements but have a longer recovery time.
Our VI Peels
Vitality Institute (VI) peels are a specialized type of medium-depth chemical peel that uses a blend of TCAs, retinoic acid, salicylic acid, phenol and vitamin C to improve skin tone, texture and clarity.
VI peels are suitable for all skin types and address various concerns. They are particularly beneficial for fine lines, acne, hyperpigmentation and sun damage. The best part about VI peels is that they require minimal downtime so that you can feel revitalized sooner.
