Chemical Peels

If you are interested in chemical peels in Brooklyn, you have come to the right place. At Kleydman Dermatology, we provide some of the best skin care services to improve the look and feel of your skin. A chemical peel is often referred to as a chemical facial and is when your dermatologist places an acid solution over top of the facial skin to remove damaged layers. A chemical peel is performed on patients who want to smooth out the texture and feel of their skin. This procedure is often used for conditions such as:

• Pigmentation problems
• Blemishes
• Wrinkles
• And more

The way a chemical peel works is by stimulating and exfoliating the dead skin cells that appear on your face. Once the dead skin cells are removed, a new layer of skin will be exposed and it will appear pure in nature and have an even skin tone and feel smooth.

Chemicals peels are one of the oldest known beauty and cosmetic treatments in the book and they date back as far as ancient Greek and Roman times. Many patients choose this treatment option because it is convenient and has great results. If you would like to discuss chemical peels in Brooklyn, call our office today to setup a consultation.

Types of Chemical Peels

There are several types of chemical peels that can be applied to your face and each one differs a bit in what it accomplishes or the type of skin it is best for. If you are unsure of what type you need, Dr. Kleydman will help you and recommend what she thinks is best for your skin.

Salicylic Acid Peel

This type of chemical peel is ideal for patients who suffer from acne, as the acid will work to attack any black and white heads on the skin. This chemical will break the bond that is holding all the dead skin cells together to ensure new cells are produced and placed on display.

TCA Peel

TCA or Trichloroacetic Acid Peel is one that is used to resurface the skin on your face. It will remove the dead skin cells, but it is designed and ideal for patients who have scars on their face or those patients who suffer from discoloration.

Glycolic Acid Peel

This type of facial chemical peel is the most commonly used one and it is designed for all skin types and works to improve the appearance and texture of the patient’s skin. This type of peel does not focus on digging down into the deepest layers and it only penetrates the dermis.

Jessner’s Peel

Jessner’s Peel is a different type of peel and it uses a combination of lactic acid, salicylic acid, and resorcinol. This type of peel will target the medium layers of the skin and will help to eliminate lines, scars, wrinkles, blackheads, and improve the overall color and health of the skin.

A chemical peel is a technique used to improve the appearance of the skin on the face, neck or hands. A chemical solution is applied to the skin that causes it to exfoliate and eventually peel off. The new, regenerated skin is usually smoother and less wrinkled than the old skin. This can be used to improve acne, acne scarring, enlarged pores, sun damage, pigmentation and fine lines. There are several variations of chemical peels that your physician can chose to employ for your individual needs. All peels are most effective when they are done as a series of 4-6 treatments spaced 2-6 weeks apart.
