Chemical Peels in Hollywood, FL

For the highest quality results from chemical peel facial treatments, Imperial Dermatology provides you with multiple choices. Your individualized chemical peel with exfoliating solutions (such as salicylic, glycolic, lactic, and trichloroacetic acids) will give you healthier, smoother skin. At our Hollywood, FL office, our team offers chemical peel treatments that decrease skin irregularities such as wrinkles, fine lines, scars, uneven patches, hyperpigmentation problems, and more. Chemical peels eliminate dead or damaged skin cells using a special solution on the skin, which causes the top layer to slough off. As your skin heals and begins to repair and rejuvenate itself, you should notice a smoother, clearer complexion. A chemical peel facial is a nonsurgical way to make your complexion bright and may be appropriate for the neck and face.

According to the strength of your treatment, you may anticipate a variety of these upsides from your treatment at Imperial Dermatology:

• Evened and neutral skin tone
• Shrinkage of pores and different skin flaws
• Lessening of fine lines and aging marks
• Moisturized, revived skin texture

The best way to know if you might benefit from a chemical peel is to schedule a consultation and skin assessment with our experienced team at Imperial Dermatology in Hollywood, FL. Our friendly staff can also help you decide which chemical peel is right for your goals. Chemical peel candidates, both women and men, should have visible issues in their skin, like scaly patches, flaky skin, discoloration, fine lines, sun spots, and much more. We may recommend varying strengths of peels to meet your needs and goals.

Your aesthetic treatment will begin when we get you settled into one of our comfortable treatment chairs and cleanse your face of any makeup, dirt, and other oils. From there, we'll begin your chemical peel. Your treatment will vary depending on the degree of the peel you receive. We are pleased to offer custom peels based on your particular needs and use PRX T33 (a non-peeling peel) and Perfect Derma Peel to provide you with stunning results. At the start of your chemical peel, we'll massage the chemical solution into your skin and let it sit for a pre-determined amount of time. We'll wash the solution off and apply a neutralizing agent to your skin. Depending on if you had a light, medium, or deep chemical peel, you can expect your skin to peel anywhere from a few days up to a few weeks. Once the dead and damaged skin flakes off, healthy, glowing skin will be revealed.

You may experience redness, swelling, and irritation after your treatment. This is normal and should subside on its own. When you leave our office, you can continue your day. Keep in mind, however, that your side effects may be greater and you may need to go home and relax after a deep chemical peel. It's important to keep in mind that as your skin starts to peel, you should not pick at the flaking skin as this may cause scarring.

How much does a chemical peel cost?
Dr. Bartos will talk about your costs in your consultation after she has decided on your personalized treatment plan. Costs for a chemical peel will vary based on the level you select. Imperial Dermatology accepts many payment methods, and we often run specials on facial treatments like chemical peels. You may also consider buying a package of several chemical peel treatments.

What level should I choose for my chemical peel?
The best chemical peel for you will depend on your unique skin concerns and cosmetic goals. In your initial consultation with Dr. Bartos, she will help you select which formula is right for your skin. A few factors you might want to consider are your general health, the type of skin you have, the depth of your skin concerns, how long you can spend in recovery, and what concerns you have about the appearance of your skin. Initially, it may be better to try a lighter peel and decide what you think of the results. After this, you and Dr. Bartos can tweak your plan to find the best type of peel for you.

Should I get a chemical peel or dermabrasion treatment?
Dermabrasion and chemical peels are both facial treatments that correct surface irregularities to make your skin softer. The major difference is that dermabrasion uses special tools (a shaving instrument or rotating brush) to remove the surface skin layer with a careful exfoliating process. A chemical peel uses a caustic solution that is applied to your skin to dissolve damaged skin cells. During your consultation, Dr. Bartos will review both options’ pros and cons and help you choose whether dermabrasion or a chemical peel is better for achieving your skin goals.

Will my face hurt after a chemical peel?
Based on the formula used, you may have some discomfort throughout the treatment and shortly after. If you get a lighter peel, you will notice some stinging; however, it goes away quickly with the use of a handheld fan. Medium and deep peels are good for deeper damage and give you longer-lasting results, but they can cause greater discomfort. Topical anesthetics, medications, and soothing ointments may be applied to help you feel more comfortable during your treatment. Dr. Bartos or a member of her team will explain post-treatment skin care to help your skin heal.

Can I combine a chemical peel with other treatments?
You may consider combining a chemical peel with another skin treatment at Imperial Dermatology. During your initial consultation, be open with Dr. Bartos about your skin wants so she can create a comprehensive treatment plan that delivers your best results. Your plan might include adding injectable wrinkle treatments (such as BOTOX®) along with your chemical peel to refresh your whole appearance.

How long do the results of a chemical peel last?
The results of a chemical peel can last for several months to years, depending on the type of peel and your skin care routine. Maintaining a healthy skin care regimen, protecting your skin from the sun, and avoiding factors that accelerate skin aging can help prolong the results.
