Chemical peels available at the Lupo Center for Aesthetic and General Dermatology in New Orleans

By

It is not unusual for Dr. Mary Lupo of the Lupo Center for Aesthetic and General Dermatology in New Orleans to be approached by men and women seeking solutions for a variety of medical and aesthetic concerns. Some of the conditions patients are interested in reversing or improving include:
  • Scarring from acne or past surgeries
  • Sun damage
  • Poor texture and tone
  • Irregular skin pigmentation
  • Active acne
  • Age spots and freckles
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
Thankfully, there is one procedure that has been developed that can provide improvement of all of these issues. That treatment is a chemical peel.

Chemical peels have been around for years and can improve the texture and tone of the skin. At the same time, it can benefit patients with conditions such as those above to provide all-over facial rejuvenation and improve both active acne and mild acne scars. Chemical peels come in a variety of types and strengths. They use a combination of ingredients to help in stimulating skin cell turnover quickly and easily.

Chemical peels may be mild or aggressive. Mild peels are lighter and gentler to the skin, but will not provide the same benefits in one treatment as more aggressive services. However, more aggressive peels do require some time off of work and social engagements for healing and recovery, which can take a week or longer. The results from a more aggressive peel are much more noticeable and patients are urged to weigh the benefits of each option when deciding which is right for them.

Dr. Mary Lupo and the team of the Lupo Center for Aesthetic and General Dermatology believe in using chemical peels for overall enhancement of the skin. Chemical peels can also be used in conjunction with other services available in our practice, such as dermal fillers, neuromodulators, Exilis radio frequency treatments, etc.

Review From Anne R.
Dr. Mary Lupo and her staff performed Fraxel laser on my face and I had incredible results. The service, which is the brand Fraxel, isn't the least expensive in the city, but when done correctly by a professional like Dr. Lupo, the money is well spent. For me, I had issues with age spots and melasma, which were significantly diminished in one treatment--as well as fine lines around my eyes. My face looked young and bouncy and bright. For Dr. Lupo, this is a craft and she spends time with her patients, giving them the best results possible. I'd highly recommend her and this service to anyone.
