CHOOSE ROBERT SCHWARCZ MD
For individuals seeking more advanced skin rejuvenation, consider:
Moxi Laser: A gentle laser treatment ideal for pigmentation and early signs of aging, with slightly more noticeable results than a chemical peel.
CO2 Laser: A more aggressive resurfacing option for deep wrinkles, scars, and advanced skin concerns.
While chemical peels are effective for mild to moderate concerns, Moxi and CO2 lasers provide more intensive treatments for dramatic results.
ALTERNATIVES
Enhance your chemical peel results with these complementary treatments:
Morpheus8: Stimulate collagen production and tighten the skin for a firmer, smoother complexion.
Combining chemical peels with Morpheus8 offers a comprehensive approach to skin rejuvenation for dramatic, long-lasting results.
COMPLEMENTARY
Chemical peels reveal brighter, smoother, and more even-toned skin, with improvements visible after just one treatment. Fine lines, pigmentation, and texture issues are minimized, leaving your skin refreshed and radiant. While light peels offer subtle improvements, medium and deep peels provide more dramatic results. For long-lasting benefits, regular treatments and proper skin care are recommended.
RESULTS
Recovery from chemical peels varies based on the depth of the peel:
Light Peels: Expect mild redness and flaking for 3-5 days. Most patients return to normal activities immediately.
Medium Peels: Redness, swelling, and peeling may last 5-7 days, with full recovery in about two weeks.
Deep Peels: Recovery may take up to three weeks, with redness and peeling gradually subsiding.
Long-Term Maintenance: Use sunscreen daily and follow a personalized skincare routine to maintain your results.
Our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure your skin heals beautifully.
RECOVERY
Chemical peels are performed in our Manhattan office and typically take 30-60 minutes, depending on the depth of the peel.
Here’s what to expect during the process:
Before Treatment: Your skin will be cleansed, and a protective barrier may be applied to sensitive areas.
During Treatment: The chemical solution is applied to the treatment area, where it works to exfoliate and renew the skin. You may feel a mild tingling or warming sensation.
After Treatment: The solution is neutralized, and post-treatment serums and sunscreens are applied to soothe the skin.
Chemical peels are customizable to your skin concerns, ensuring a safe and effective treatment experience.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Preparing for a chemical peel ensures optimal results and a smooth recovery. Key steps include:
Avoid Sun Exposure: Protect your skin with sunscreen and avoid tanning for at least two weeks before your peel.
Skincare Adjustments: Discontinue retinoids, exfoliants, and harsh products 5-7 days before treatment.
Medications: Inform Dr. Schwarcz about any medications or supplements you’re taking.
Clean Skin: Arrive at your appointment with clean, makeup-free skin.
Dr. Schwarcz will provide detailed pre-treatment instructions tailored to your skin type and goals.
PLANNING
Chemical peels may not be suitable for individuals who:
Have active skin infections, inflammation, or severe acne.
Are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Have very dark skin tones without a consultation to assess risk.
Are taking medications like isotretinoin or other photosensitizing drugs.
During your consultation, Dr. Schwarcz will evaluate your skin and recommend the best treatment plan for your concerns.
NOT CANDIDATES
You may be an excellent candidate for chemical peels if you:
Have concerns like uneven skin tone, pigmentation, fine lines, or acne scars.
Want to improve skin texture and radiance.
Are looking for a non-surgical treatment with little to moderate downtime.
Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the results.
Chemical peels are suitable for most skin types and can be tailored to meet your specific goals.
CANDIDATES
Chemical peels involve the application of a customized chemical solution to the skin, which gently exfoliates and removes the damaged outer layers. This stimulates cell turnover and collagen production, revealing fresher, healthier skin underneath.
Types of peels include:
Light Peels: Treat mild discoloration, fine lines, and acne with minimal downtime.
Medium Peels: Address deeper pigmentation, wrinkles, and acne scars for noticeable improvements.
Deep Peels: Provide dramatic results for severe skin damage, deeper wrinkles, and scars.
Chemical peels can be performed on the face, neck, décolletage, or hands, making them a versatile solution for skin rejuvenation.
THE PROCEDURE
Chemical peels are a non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatment that exfoliates the skin’s outer layers to improve texture, tone, and overall radiance. This versatile procedure addresses concerns such as pigmentation, fine lines, acne scars, and uneven skin tone. Performed by Dr. Robert Schwarcz, a double board certified oculofacial plastic surgeon in NYC, in our Manhattan office, chemical peels are tailored to your unique skin needs.
