Chemical Peel

Deep wrinkles and blotchy skin may be corrected with many treatments available today, however the most immediate and gratifying of treatments is a chemical peel.

Chemical peels effectively improve a wide variety of skin conditions including acne scarring, sun damage, wrinkles, age spots and freckling. As a leading dermatologist in the twin city area, Dr. Carney is an expert in client selection for this procedure.

A chemical peel is often recommended with eyelid surgery and the "Local Lift", because it offers to further tighten lax skin around the eyes and address the deeper lines and wrinkles around the mouth, forehead, and neck. Chemical peels may be performed on the chest, hands, arms, and legs.

The intensity of the solution chosen for a chemical peel is critical in determining the outcome. Dr. Patrick Carney provides years of expertise, knowledge, and experience in medium and deep chemical peels. Most commonly provided are TCA, Baker-Gordon, and 88% phenol.

What should I expect after a Chemical Peel?

Reactions to chemical peels are similar to sunburn: the deeper the peel, the longer the recovery period. Post-procedure 'downtime' averages a few days to two weeks. Ointment should be applied daily to keep the treated area moist. A topical broad-spectrum sunscreen will be necessary to protect the new skin from exposure to the sun.

Patient first had Botox, then a deep chemical peel.

Note the improvements to skin under the eyes.

Botox treatment is performed prior to the peel to minimize the movement of the face during healing.
