Chemical Peels and Medical Skin Care at Ology Spas

Chemical Peels as an integral part of Medical Skin Care - The Ology Approach at Clarian North and Clarian West Medical Centers

A chemical peel causes cells to regenerate at a faster rate than they would naturally. We use different peel solutions that vary in strength, buffers, and neutralizers in order to achieve more refershed skin and we consider it an integral part of medical skin care. There are many factors that affect depth of penetration including use of Retin A, glycolic, and thickness of the skin.Some consumers think that more is always better, but when it comes to superficial chemical peel treatments, it is not necessary for the skin to peel excessively to get correction. Often times the exfoliation is at a cellular level and not visible to the naked eye. This can still create a more even, tighter and brighter complexion, regardless of whether the patient sees visible exfoliation following the treatment.To get the best results with superficial chemical peels, the skin should be pretreated with an Alpha Hydroxy Acid. This will help the peel to penetrate more evenly on the skin which gives a better final result. Following post care intructions will also increase the final result, and is just as important as pretreating the skin. We prefer to use Physician's Choice of Arizonaas it is a product line that carries both retail products and professional peels. The treatments provided by PCA are gentle, non-toxic light to medium depth range peels. The chemical peels use AHA's, TCA, salicylic, resorcinol, retinol, tyrosinase inhibitors, antioxidants and polyphenols to adress a wide range of skin types and conditions.
