“Lunchtime peels” are appropriate for patients seeking a fresher look and brighter skin. These peels have no downtime and, when done as part of a treatment package, can help clients achieve healthy, younger looking skin.
Medium chemical peels used most often are the 30% to 35% TCA (trichloroacetic acid) peels and the straight 89% phenol peel. These are used to treat brown spots, uneven pigmentation, mild wrinkles and mild acne scars.
The deeper peels are the Hetter Peel, the Baker-Gordon Phenol Peel and the modified Baker-Gordon Peel. These are the most effective methods for treating moderate to severe wrinkles as well as some types of acne scars.
Laser skin resurfacing can be performed with multiple devices. The type of laser used, the number of passes performed, and the energy and density of the laser pulses all contribute to the depth of resurfacing. Laser skin resurfacing can be used to treat fine lines and brown spots to deep lines and acne scars.
