Are you seeking a straightforward and effective way to rejuvenate and refresh your complexion? A chemical peel could be the perfect solution.
The Medical Clinic New York City, led by Dr. Nicolas Batty, an experienced physician board-certified in aesthetic medicine, offers this treatment to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, scars, and discoloration.
What is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is a popular skin-care treatment applied to the face, neck, or hands. During a peel, chemical solutions are applied to the treatment site. The solution triggers both exfoliation and rejuvenation in the skin. Once the outer layer of skin peels off, the new skin beneath is smoother, less wrinkled, and less blemished.
Chemical Peel Before & After
What Type of Chemical Peel Can I Get?
Three broad categories of chemical peels are available at The Medical Clinic NYC. These are:
- Deep peels: Penetrate deep enough to affect the entire middle layer of skin. They rely on phenol or trichloroacetic acid to remove deep blemishes by clearing away damaged skin cells.
- Superficial peels: Use mild acids like alpha-hydroxy acid to gently remove the outermost layer of skin, but penetrate no deeper than that.
- Medium peels: Involve trichloroacetic or glycolic acid, which passes through the outer layer and affects the middle skin layer. Medium peels can target some issues that result from damaged skin cells.
Why We Love Chemical Peels
We recommend chemical peels for a range of concerns, including:
- Uneven skin tone or redness
- Wrinkles and fine lines
- Scars
- Sun damage
- Hyperpigmentation and melasma
How Much Does a Chemical Peel Cost?
The exact cost of a chemical peel varies from patient to patient, depending on their individual skin health and objectives. You can determine the cost of your chemical peel treatment by booking a consultation with The Medical Clinic NYC. Our team will ensure you are a suitable candidate and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your budget and skin goals.
Chemical Peel Side Effects
Chemical peels are safe for most skin types. However, if you are allergic to any known topical ingredient, inform your provider.
Every person reacts to chemical peels differently. Some may not experience any side effects, while others may notice mild redness that goes away after a day or so.
Contrary to popular belief, not all chemical peels cause actual peeling. Your provider will let you know if yours will.
