Patients in New Orleans, who are faced with a variety of skin conditions may have a lot of questions about treatment options such as chemical peels. How effective are chemical peels? How do chemical peels work? How much are chemical peels? What should I expect after the chemical peel? Dr. Mary Lupo, Board-certified dermatologist at the Lupo Center for Aesthetic and General Dermatology, is happy to assist with deciding if chemical peels are appropriate for patients.
Chemical peels are extremely effective at addressing problems of the skin such as:
Chemical peels work by taking off the upper layer of damaged or dead skin and allowing the fresh skin below to be revealed. Newer skin is more youthful and beautiful.
Chemical peels vary in cost depending on the ingredients used. More aggressive peels cost more, but provide amazing results in just one treatment as opposed to several, more mild treatments.
Aftercare following a chemical peel will vary, depending on the strength of the peel used. In most cases, patients will have to apply creams onto the skin to facilitate healing and protect the newer skin underneath from sun damage. Recovery time varies from a week or longer.
Dr. Mary Lupo is a skilled dermatologist who will assist patients with determining if chemical peels are appropriate treatments for them. This treatment is highly desirable for many of our patients who are interested in addressing more than one concern.
