Chemical Peel Specialist

What is a chemical peel?

A chemical peel is a technique that Dr. Miles uses to improve the appearance of your skin. She applies a chemical solution that causes your skin to exfoliate and eventually peel off. Your regenerated skin is usually smoother and less wrinkled than your old skin. There are three main levels of chemical peels used based on the severity of your skin — superficial, medium and deep layer peels. They treat a variety of conditions including:

•  Acne scars
•  Crow's-feet
•  Hyperpigmentation                                   
•  Melasma  
•  Scars
•  Sun damage
•  Sagging skin
•  Wrinkles

What are different types of chemical peels?  

Skin Oasis Dermatology uses an assortment of peels depending on your specific skin condition. These include the Melanage™ Chemical Peel, the VI Peel®, and the PCA Skin® chemical peels.

• Melanage™ Chemical Peel: Melanage™ Chemical Peels are most commonly used to treat pigmentation and melasma. These peels also help your skin tone and texture, as well as reduce the appearance of fine lines. The Melanage peel uses two ingredients, retinoid, and arbutin, to penetrate your skin. These ingredients speed up cell turnover, which treats your skin discoloration. The process involves a medicated masque and an at-home treatment regimen.
• PCA Skin® chemical peels: Dr. Miles can use the PCA Skin® chemical peels on all skin types — even if you have sensitive skin. PCA chemical peels improve skin concerns like acne, hyperpigmentation, and aging. By increasing your skin’s cell turnover rate, the peels bring new skin cells to the surface. This process reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots as well as clearing up your annoying breakouts.
• Skinceutical peels

Is a chemical peel right for you?

The results and treatment vary based on the type of peel that is choosen for your specific condition. Chemical peels are safe for all skin types when performed by a trained professional. At your consultation, the needs of your skin will be accessed, then a treatment that is safe for your skin type will be performed. Dr. Miles doesn’t recommend a chemical peel if, at the treatment site, you have an active infection, skin disease, skin abrasion, sunburn, or while pregnant. Schedule a consultation to learn which chemical peel will help you meet your healthy skin goals.
