Chemical Peels services offered in Cherry Creek, Denver, CO
If you struggle with skin imperfections, such as lines, wrinkles, sun spots, and acne, chemical peels may be the treatment for you.Â
At Aesthetic Surgery and Dermatology of Cherry Creek in Denver, Colorado, board-certified dermatologist Adrienne Stewart, MD, works alongside medical aestheticians Jodi Payne and Willa Roberts. Our team offers chemical peels and other facial and body treatments to improve your skin’s appearance without extensive downtime. We happily serve patients from the Denver Metropolitan Area.
What Are Chemical Peels?
A chemical peel is a skin-resurfacing treatment that uses a chemical solution to exfoliate and remove the damaged outer layer of skin. This process stimulates cell turnover and promotes the growth of healthier skin underneath.Â
Our practice offers chemical peels in varying strengths, from mild to deep peels. Stronger peels may involve a longer recovery period but can give you more dramatic results.
What Concerns Can Chemical Peels Address?
Chemical peels can reduce the following skin imperfections:
- Acne
- Scarring
- Fine lines
- Wrinkles
- Freckles
- Sunspots
- Other skin discoloration
Your provider can apply chemical peels to your face, chest, arms, back, or other areas of the body to exfoliate treated skin and stimulate new cell growth.
The result is even-toned, younger-looking skin.
Are Chemical Peels Right for Me?
Chemical peels can benefit a wide range of skin types and concerns, but the right treatment depends on your unique needs. At Aesthetic Surgery and Dermatology of Cherry Creek, our providers carefully evaluate your skin, review your medical history, and discuss your desired outcomes during a consultation before customizing your treatment. We’ll be able to recommend the best peel for your skin and goals.
What to Expect During the Procedure
When you arrive for a chemical peel at Aesthetic Surgery and Dermatology of Cherry Creek, your specialist will cleanse your skin to remove any oils, makeup, or impurities. For stronger peels, we may apply a numbing agent to keep you comfortable.
Next, we apply the chemical solution to the targeted area. You may feel a slight tingling or warming sensation as the solution works to exfoliate the outer skin layers.Â
The length of time the solution remains on your skin depends on the type and strength of the peel. Once the peel has done its job, your provider will neutralize or remove the solution to stop the exfoliation process.
Finally, we’ll apply a healing ointment to protect and hydrate the treated skin. Your provider will give you specific aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. Most patients can return to their normal activities right away or shortly after the procedure.
What Happens After the Procedure?
After a chemical peel, your skin may be sensitive, red, tender, and vulnerable to light. However, there’s no significant downtime afterward. It’s important to keep the treatment area clean and protected from the sun.
As treated skin heals, you can expect a youthful glow and healthier skin. Your specialist may recommend a series of chemical peels over time to help you maintain your anti-aging results.
