Chemical Peels: A Powerful Solution

Chemical peels are versatile treatments that can address a wide range of skin concerns, including:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles: By exfoliating the top layers of skin, chemical peels can smooth fine lines and wrinkles, making your complexion appear more youthful.
  • Sun damage and hyperpigmentation: Chemical peels are excellent for evening out skin tone and reducing the appearance of dark spots, melasma, and other types of pigmentation caused by sun exposure.
  • Acne and acne scars: For those struggling with acne, chemical peels can help clear up active breakouts and fade post-acne scarring, revealing smoother skin with improved texture.
  • Uneven skin tone and texture: By promoting new cell turnover, chemical peels can improve the overall tone and texture of the skin, making it smoother and more radiant.
  • Dull skin: If your skin has lost its glow, a chemical peel can restore its radiance, giving you a fresh and revitalized appearance.

Customizable Options to Suit Your Skin

At Westside Plastic Surgery, we understand that every patient’s skin is unique. During your consultation, Dr. Goggin will evaluate your skin and recommend the best type of peel for meeting your aesthetic goals and exceeding your expectations.

Light peels

Also known as “lunchtime peels,” light peels use gentle acids like alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) or beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) to exfoliate the outer layer of skin.

  • These peels are ideal for patients with mild skin concerns, such as fine lines, dullness, and light pigmentation. 
  • You may experience slight redness and peeling for a few days, but most patients can resume their regular activities immediately.
  • There is minimal downtime with light peels, making them a popular choice for those seeking a quick refresh.

Medium peels

For patients with more significant concerns, such as sun damage, hyperpigmentation, and deeper wrinkles, medium-depth peels offer a more intensive solution.

  • These peels use stronger acids, such as trichloroacetic acid (TCA), to penetrate deeper layers of the skin. 
  • Recovery typically takes about a week. You may experience redness, swelling, and peeling during this time. It’s essential to avoid sun exposure while your skin heals to prevent complications.
  • While there may be some downtime and peeling, the results are more dramatic, with smoother and clearer skin emerging after recovery.

Deep peels

The most intensive option, deep peels are reserved for patients with more severe skin concerns, such as deep wrinkles, extensive sun damage, and significant scarring.

  • Phenol is typically used in deep peels to achieve profound results. However, deep peels require a longer recovery period and are not suitable for all skin types. 
  • Recovery from a deep peel can take several weeks. Your skin will be red, swollen, and peeling for an extended period, and you will need to follow Dr. Goggin’s post-treatment care instructions carefully to ensure optimal results.
  • Dr. Goggin will carefully assess your skin’s condition before recommending this option. For the right patient, the results of a deep peel can be astounding. Know that you’re in capable, expert hands with Dr. Goggin.

How Often Are Chemical Peels Needed?

The frequency of chemical peels depends on the type of peel and your individual skin goals:

  • Light peels can be performed every 4 to 6 weeks for ongoing maintenance of healthy, glowing skin. These gentle treatments provide a subtle improvement and are ideal for patients looking to maintain a refreshed appearance.
  • Medium peels are typically performed every 3 to 6 months. They offer more significant improvements, so fewer treatments are needed to maintain your results.
  • Deep peels are usually only done once, as the results are long-lasting and profound. Follow-up treatments may not be necessary for several years, depending on your skin’s condition and your overall goals.
