Specialized Chemical Peels at Audubon Facial Plastic Surgery

Experience Radiant Skin with Chemical Peels

Many individuals struggle with various skin concerns, such as fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven skin tone. With countless skincare products on the market, it can be overwhelming to find an effective solution. Chemical Peels offer an excellent treatment for rejuvenating the skin, providing a comprehensive approach to improving skin texture, tone, and overall appearance. Even better, downtime can be very limited depending on the level of chemical peel.

At Audubon Facial Plastic Surgery, located in the heart of New Orleans, Dr. Claire Melancon and her team are dedicated to providing top-tier skin rejuvenation treatments. Our specialized Chemical Peels are designed to reveal your skin's natural beauty, giving you a radiant, youthful glow.

What is a Chemical Peel?

A Chemical Peel is a skin-resurfacing procedure that involves applying a chemical solution to the skin to remove its outer layers. These treatments help improve skin texture, tone, and clarity by promoting the growth of new, healthy skin cells. Our New Orleans Chemical Peels can address various skin concerns, including fine lines, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation.

Chemical Peels have different strengths—superficial, medium, and deep—each suitable for various skin concerns and conditions. Superficial peels use mild acids to gently exfoliate the outermost layers of skin and treat fine lines and wrinkles. Medium peels use stronger acids to penetrate deeper to the outer and middle layers of skin. Deep peels are intense treatments using strong acids to penetrate into the deep layers of the skin, offering marked improvement for individuals struggling with severe wrinkles and scars or significant sun damage. Here's a closer look at the different Chemical Peel options available for treating various skin concerns:

Superficial Depth Gel Peel

The Superficial Depth Gel Peel is perfect for those looking to refresh their complexion with minimal downtime. This gentle peel targets the uppermost layer of the skin, effectively treating fine lines, minor blemishes, and uneven skin tone. Ideal for all skin types, this peel offers a quick rejuvenation with little to no recovery time. It is an ideal treatment to be performed on a monthly basis.

Medium Depth Micropeel 30 Glycolic

The Medium Depth Micropeel 30 Glycolic goes a step deeper, utilizing glycolic acid to exfoliate the skin and stimulate collagen production. This peel is particularly beneficial for treating more pronounced signs of aging, such as standing wrinkles and darker sun damage. After a series of treatments, patients can expect a smoother, more even skin texture.

Pigment Balancing Peel

Our Pigment Balancing Peel is specifically designed to address hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone. This targeted treatment uses a blend of exfoliating agents and brightening ingredients to reduce the appearance of dark spots and melasma, leaving your skin looking clearer and more balanced.

Medium/Deep TCA Peel

The Medium/Deep TCA Peel is one of our more intensive treatments, ideal for addressing skin concerns such as standing wrinkles, moderate to severe sun damage, and acne scars. Using trichloroacetic acid, this peel penetrates deeper into the skin layers, promoting substantial skin rejuvenation and a marked improvement in texture and tone. It also requires a touch more downtime than the superficial, less aggressive options.

Chemical Peel Benefits

With Chemical Peels New Orleans patients are offered numerous benefits, enhancing both the appearance and health of your skin, including:

Improved Skin Texture and Tone: Chemical Peels smooth out rough patches and uneven skin tone, giving you a more polished and youthful appearance.
Reduction of Fine Lines and Wrinkles: They help diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating collagen production.
Lightening of Hyperpigmentation and Age Spots: Chemical peels' exfoliating action can reduce dark spots, sun spots, and other forms of hyperpigmentation, resulting in a more even complexion.
Treatment of Acne Scars and Blemishes: Chemical Peels can effectively help treat acne scars, blemishes, and other skin imperfections, promoting clearer skin.

Chemical Peel Candidates

Chemical Peels in New Orleans can help many people who would like to address common skin conditions and revitalize their skin. They can be a potent addition to your skincare routine with long-lasting results. However, not everyone is an ideal candidate for every type of Chemical Peel. Those with certain skin conditions, such as active infections or open wounds, need to wait until their skin heals.

Additionally, individuals with severe allergies, pregnant women, or those with certain health issues should consult with our specialists to determine the best treatment plan and when. Also, some darker skin tones may not be a candidate for aggressive chemical peels, as this can cause hypopigmentation. It's essential to have a detailed consultation to ensure the peel is tailored to your skin type and concerns.

What issues do Chemical Peels address?

Chemical Peels can help address a number of common skin concerns, including:

Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Chemical Peels can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by promoting new skin cell growth and stimulating collagen production.
Hyperpigmentation and Sun Damage: They effectively lighten dark spots, sun spots, and other forms of hyperpigmentation, resulting in a more even skin tone.
Acne and Acne Scars: Chemical Peels can help reduce active acne and diminish the appearance of acne scars by exfoliating the skin and clearing out pores.

Uneven Skin Texture: The exfoliation process smooths out rough skin, improving its overall texture and giving it a more refined appearance.
Dull Skin: Chemical Peels remove dead skin cells and reveal fresher, more radiant skin underneath.
Large Pores: By removing the outer layers of dead skin, Chemical Peels can help to reduce the appearance of large pores in some.
Melasma: Chemical Peels can help lighten the dark patches caused by melasma, providing a more uniform skin tone.

Results, Recovery, and Aftercare

Results from a Chemical Peel can be seen within a few days to weeks, depending on the peel depth. Your skin should see continued improvements as new collagen forms, with final results becoming visible at around three months post-treatment.

Recovery time varies depending on the type of peel used. Recovery from light to medium Chemical Peels typically takes between a day and a week, during which your skin may appear sunburned and feel dry, flaky, and sensitive. Downtime for deeper peels can last up to a few weeks, with additional redness and flaking potentially continuing for several months. It's crucial not to pick at any peeling or flaking skin and to follow your provider's aftercare instructions to reduce the risk of infection or scarring. Aftercare includes avoiding sun exposure, using gentle skincare products, and following specific post-treatment instructions to maintain the results.
