ABOUT CHEMICAL PEELS

For the highest quality results from chemical peel facial treatments, Contoura Facial Plastic Surgery provides you with several choices. Your personalized chemical peel with exfoliating solutions (such as salicylic, glycolic, trichloroacetic, and lactic acids) will reveal more radiant skin.

At our Ponte Vedra Beach, FL facility, our skilled team, led by our double board-certified plastic surgeon in Jacksonville, Dr. Roberto Garcia, offers chemical peel treatments that treat skin imperfections, like scars, fine lines, wrinkles, rough patches, hyperpigmentation problems, and more. The treatment removes dead, damaged skin cells by applying a personalized peel on the skin that causes the upper layer to slough off. When your skin recovers and starts to repair and rejuvenate itself, you may see a smoother, clearer complexion. A chemical peel can be used on the face or neck and can drastically improve your complexion.

CHEMICAL PEEL TECHNIQUE


During your appointment at Contoura Facial Plastic Surgery, we will have you lying in a comfortable position to administer your treatment. A team member will ensure the skin is cleaned prior to applying the personalized solution to the face, neck, or both.

We will spread the solution onto the skin and allow it to work for an appropriate length of time that will be determined during your chemical peel consultation. Next, we will clean the peel off your skin and put on a neutralizing agent. Patients should bring sunscreen and/or a hat to wear outside following the chemical peel to protect against UV exposure.

IDEAL CANDIDATES

Adhering to the recommendations of a cosmetic specialist is the first step in the journey to healthy, smooth skin. A team member at Contoura Facial Plastic Surgery will evaluate your skin during an exam in our Ponte Vedra Beach, FL office before selecting a chemical peel for your unique skin needs.

Jacksonville chemical peel patients, both women and men, should have visible concerns on their skin, including rough patches, acne scars, discoloration, flaky skin, fine lines, sun spots, and more. We may recommend varying strengths of peels to match your concerns.

VARIATIONS OF CHEMICAL PEELS

Contoura Facial Plastic Surgery offers chemical peels in multiple levels of strength (light, medium, and deep) to meet our patients' skin concerns.

Light peels:

You can receive a light peel during your lunchtime and return back to your daily routine. This level of peel will remove the outer skin layer (the epidermis), giving your face a more radiant appearance and smoother texture. We usually recommend that you receive a light chemical peel about once a month for the ideal glowing results.

Medium-depth peels:

This level of peel reaches further into the skin, and patients generally decide to have this strength of facial treatment during an extended weekend. You may also need to ready yourself for increased discomfort during and up to one hour following the peel. Medium-depth peels are designed for patients who have deeper damage to their skin, including deeper lines and darker pigmentation problems.

Deep peels:

The strongest of the three levels of peels is the deep chemical peel, and it does require the lengthiest recovery time. This is an aggressive procedure that can leave your face itchy, peeling, and swollen for 2 – 3 weeks. Patients who get a deep chemical peel generally have age or dark spots, sun damage, prominent acne scars, and deep scars. Since this level of chemical peel is usually uncomfortable for patients, your aesthetician can provide you with local anesthesia before your treatment.

WHAT TO EXPECT


Based on the strength of the chemical peel you receive, you should expect the treated area to peel and itch from several days to two or more weeks. Dr. Garcia or a member of his team will go over ways to treat your face during your procedure. Please remember that no matter how badly your skin itches throughout the recovery, it's not good to peel the skin off. You may cause scarring.

CHEMICAL PEEL REVIEWS

"Destin is an AMAZING Esthetician! Destin has performed peels, Diamond Glow Facials, laser treatments, product consults and microblading on me over the past few years. Her product knowledge and how she watches your skin respond during the facial is over and above what other estheticians I have gone to were able to do. Today Destin hit the mark once again by enhancing my eyebrows to a full and natural look with the microblading procedure. If you want the best; if you want your skin to improve; and want someone who is going to take the time to get to know you and all your skin needs, you need to make an appointment with Destin. You will be happy you did!!" - L.P. / Google / Aug 12, 2020

Chemical Peels Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a chemical peel cost?

A team member will explain costs following your consultation as soon as your customized treatment plan has been developed. Costs for a chemical peel will vary, depending on the formula you select. Contoura Facial Plastic Surgery accepts several payments methods, and there are often specials on treatments, like chemical peels. Buying a package with several chemical peel treatments can also help you save money.

What level should I choose for my chemical peel?

Which level of chemical peel is best for you will vary based on your specific skin issues and aesthetic goals. During your initial consultation for a chemical peel Jacksonville plastic surgeon, Dr. Garcia, can help you choose which formula is best for your skin. A few things you might consider are your general health, the type of skin you have, the depth of your skin concerns, the time you can commit to recovery, and what you want the peel to accomplish. Initially, it's better to select a light chemical peel and decide what you think of the results. After this, you and Dr. Garcia may alter your plan to decide the best type of peel for your skin.

Should I get a chemical peel or dermabrasion treatment?

Chemical peels and dermabrasion are both facial treatments that address surface blemishes to make your skin appear smoother. The main difference is that dermabrasion requires special tools (a shaving instrument or rotating brush) to clear away the surface skin layer with a careful exfoliating process. A chemical peel applies a caustic solution to your skin to dissolve damaged skin cells. During your initial consultation, Dr. Garcia will explain the pros and cons of both options and help you choose if dermabrasion or a chemical peel best fits your skin goals.

Will my face hurt after a chemical peel?

Based on the peel selected, you might feel mild discomfort throughout the treatment and shortly after. If you choose a light peel, you may only notice mild discomfort; however, this can be alleviated with a small fan. Deep or medium peels are better for deeper blemishes and provide longer-lasting results; however, they usually cause greater discomfort. Numbing cream, medications, and ointments may be used to help you feel more comfortable during your chemical peel. Dr. Garcia or a member of his team will explain post-treatment skin care to help your skin heal quickly and beautifully.

Can I combine a chemical peel with other treatments?

You may consider combining a chemical peel with another skin treatment at Contoura Facial Plastic Surgery. In your initial consultation, be open with Dr. Garcia when describing your skin care goals so he can develop a unique treatment plan to achieve them. Your plan might include an injectable treatment for wrinkles (such as Juvederm or BOTOX), plus a chemical peel to refresh your entire face.
