Chemical Peels

 With my busy lifestyle, downtime is not an option. The chemical peels have been quick, easy and results are visible!  ~ Kami F. A chemical peel works as a resurfacing technique that removes the top layers of the skin by means of a chemical, as opposed to heat with a laser and as opposed to mechanical means with a dermabrasion. The chemical is chosen based on the skin type and color of the patient as well as the skin problem being treated. Acne, aging, and discoloration are the usual indications for a chemical peel. New skin is laid down so that pores appear smaller, small lines are plumped up and seem to disappear and acne and acne discoloration are improved.
Just about anyone is a candidate for a chemical peel. There are peels for everyone: lighter, less aggressive peels for darker skin suffering from acne or discoloration, and more aggressive peels for older skin with wrinkles and discolorations. And no matter what strength of peel is best for you, your recovery time will be minimal. Dr. Lupo is a Botox and Sculptra expert on RealSelf.com Related FAQ’s.

Ask Dr. Lupo
Q: With all the lasers available is there still a need for chemical peels?
A: Chemical peels remain a very good option to treat the dermatology patient. The experienced dermatologist offers all options to patients and explains the pros and cons of each option. In the end, we need to fit the procedure to the patient, and not the patient to the procedure. There are chemical peels that may be an alternative to IPL for the acne and rosacea patient. There are peels that can be a less expensive alternative for mild pigmentation problems. Just as it is not professional for a doctor to ignore a laser discussion if they have not updated their practice with new technology, the physician who owns lasers should discuss peel options for suitable patients. There are light peels effective and safe for darker skin and deeper peels that can give significant improvement to photoaged skin (albeit with downtime). The final answer to this question is simple: there is no right or wrong, only better and best. A good doctor can walk you through the decision process.
