No-downtime Chemical Peels, Microdermabrasion and Dermaplaning

Chemical skin peels act by removing part of the outer layer of the skin. As does Microdermabrasion, dermaplaning, and retin A. The top layer of the skin is composed of 14 or more dead cell which pie-plate forming the stratum corneum. When these are removed, the body immediately goes into production of new full health collagen cells replace the removed ones. Over the years many agents have been used to effect this action, most employing naturally occurring acids found in fruit and other foods. Cleopatra is said to have used the lactic acid content from sour milk to erase the wrinkles and fine lines caused by Julius Caesar.

In a peel, oil, dirt, dead and dry skin cells, and bacteria are gently removed in a process that leaves the skin refreshed, lustrous, and clear. Chemical peels can improve a wide variety of skin conditions including fine lines, uneven pigmentation, sun-damaged skin, age spots, and freckling.

Chemical peels effect measurable and significant changes in skin texture and appearance. Most importantly, there is no downtime and the patient is able to resume normal activities immediately.

At Spa Cielo we use PCA & Sesderma products exclusively for our peels. This procedure is often combined with dermaplaning, a process whereby the fine facial, or vellus hairs are removed prior to the application of the appropriate peeling agent. The entire process is followed by the application of a healing mask moisturizer and sunscreen.

For patients with acne-prone skin, we perform microdermabrasion with the Sesderma procedure using salicylic acid. This has the effect of aiding in the sloughing off of dead cells and debris on the skin surface while simultaneously decreasing the acne process and reducing the environmental damage to the skin. The treatment may be repeated every four to six weeks for optimum effect.
