Chemical peels use a chemical solution to improve and smooth the texture of your skin.  As opposed to the peels of past years treatments today not only remove the damaged outer layer of skin, they also reach the deeper dermis to stimulate collagen production. The removal of the outer dehydrated layer of your skin will result in a smoother, glowing and even appearance. The removal of this layer will allow your daily skin care products to penetrate deep into the skin where they need to work. These treatments are much more advanced and offer far greater results than previously obtained with chemical peels. The peels will help patients with blemishes, acne, wrinkles, large pores and pigmentation.

The precise formula used will be specifically matched to meet your aesthetic needs. Ingredients such as lactic, salicylic and trichloracetic acid are combined with potent new antioxidants and calming solutions to give results.

Chemical peels range from very mild with minimal downtime too more aggressive with a week or so of down time. The frequency of your peels will depend on your skin type and concerns being addressed. They can be done as often as weekly or monthly depending on your skin type and concerns. The Medical Aestheticians at Dr. Bonness' office will perform a complete skin evaluation, discuss your expectations and recommend the peel that best meet you aesthetic needs and that fits into your busy schedule. They will also discuss with you the importance of maintaining your result with physician grade skin care.

During the peel procedure the solutions will be massaged into your skin one layer at a time. Although not painful you will experience a tingling and slight stinging sensation. To finish the thirty-minute peel, deep penetrating calming creams will then be applied. Chemical peels are a wonderful way to achieve smoother healthier skin!
