Although this is are a normal part of the aging process, it is not uncommon for people to seek out a more youthful appearance. At Rejuva Medical Spa, ourmain goal is to help you feel and look your best. That is why we offer many types of chemical peels to help accommodate any skin concern you may have.

A chemical peel consists of an aesthetic specialist applying a chemical solution to your face, chest, hands, or neck. This particular procedure deeply exfoliates your skin, exposing the new layer of skin, which has fewer wrinkles, less scarring, and fewer signs of sun damage. Chemical peels can help improve the appearance of everyone’s skin, but can be extra beneficial for people who have any of the following skin concerns:

– Acne scars
– Crow’s feet
– Hyperpigmentation
– Aging skin
– Sun-damaged skin
– Melasma
– Scarring
– Sagging skin
– Wrinkles

Our trained staff will help you decide on the peel that is best suited for your skin concerns and whether your skin will require alight, medium, or deep peel. A light peel is composed of a mild acid like alpha-hydroxy acid. It only seeps into the outer layer of skin and is ideal if you have mild skin discoloration or dry, rough skin. A medium peel penetrates the outer and center layers of your skin. It helps with fine lines, age spots, and freckles. It may aid with moderate skin discoloration, precancerous skin growths, and rough skin. A deep peel consists of trichloroacetic acid. The treatment helps with moderate wrinkles and fine lines as well as freckles and shallow scarring. It provides the most dramatic change in your skin. It, however, is only intended for your face, and we’ll only use it on your skin one time.

The cost of Chemical Peels varies from $150-$750 depending on the type and whether you get a light, medium, or deep peel. Please call our office for more information on pricing or to schedule your consultation.

Chemical peels area great nonsurgical option that can provide more drastic results than some over-the-counter options. A chemical peel stimulates collagen production to improve the texture of your skin by increasing elasticity. Additionally, after a chemical peel, your skincare products will work more effectively.

The possible side effects of a chemical peel aren’t nearly as dangerous as surgery. With a chemical peel, you may experience changes in your skin tone. In addition, it could reactivate any cold sores on your face. Scarring and an allergic reaction are possible as well. On the other hand, surgery can cause scarring, infection, bleeding, bruising, swelling, or numbness.

A chemical solution, usually an acid, is applied over the surface of the skin. Chemical peels are typically a single acid or combination of acids such as Salicylic, Glycolic, Malic, Lactic and Retinoic acid. The solution penetrates the skin to varying depths depending upon which solution is selected. Different peels address different skin concerns, and the most appropriate solution will be selected for you by the professional who is evaluating your skin.

Chemical peels stimulate the dermis to produce more collagen and elastin which help smooth fine lines. By removing the epidermis and a portion of the dermis, superficial pigment can be removed decreasing areas of brown discoloration.

Light chemical peels are associated with no downtime. Medium-depth peels may require 3-7days of downtime. These deeper peels, usually using trichloroacetic acid (TCA) are also known as the Obagi Blue Peel. They are performed by Dr. Weston and Sandra Ewers, PA-C. They require aftercare and downtime lasting 5-7 days.

– Fine static lines & wrinkles (not associated with muscle movement)
– Pigmentation
– Skin breakouts
– Skin texture

Peels are most effective in a series spaced one month apart. We recommend light peels to those patients who would like to address some skin issues but do not want the pain or downtime of a laser procedure. We recommend deeper peels to those patients willing to have some downtime but wanting to avoid the discomfort of a laser procedure.

Patients having deeper peels are likely to go through a period of time during which their skin gets leathery in texture and the skins pigment typically gets darker. Within a few days, the skin will start to peel (usually around the mouth first) revealing lovely, revitalized skin beneath! It is important to avoid picking at your skin.
