Chemical Peel FAQs

December 17, 2018 by Rachel Woodford

Chemical Peel

A chemical peel in Orlando is a non-invasive skin treatment offered by the Institute of Aesthetic Surgery that restores damaged skin. Some facial peels use a mild acid, the most common being glycolic, to remove the damage by literally peeling the top layer of skin. If you are considering chemical peels, you may have some questions. Here are some common questions answered regarding chemical peels.
Which Chemical Peel Is Right for Me?
It may be confusing trying to decide what chemical peel to use. Besides glycolic peels, you can get lactic peels, which are made from milk. Lactic peels are great for dry or sensitive skin prone to adverse reactions to harsher chemicals. A beta facial peel treats acne in clients of all ages using salicylic acid to control oil.
A deep chemical peel penetrates through to the middle skin layer to remove age spots, scarring, and pre-cancer growths. A medium skin peel primarily focuses on removing fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, and some skin cancer growths on the middle layers. Superficial peels are the mildest types of peels using glycolic acid and salicylic acid.
How Much Does a Chemical Peel Cost?
The cost of the facial treatment depends on how long the treatment takes and what kind of treatment you choose. A light to moderate facial peel can cost $150-$600, and a deep chemical peel can run up to $6000. You also have to factor in the skill of the surgeon, possible anesthesia, location, and medication costs. However, don’t always settle for the lowest price without looking into the doctor’s experience and background. The treatment should be done by a plastic surgeon or specialist certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.
Who Is an Ideal Candidate for a Chemical Peel in Orlando?
You may be a good candidate for this treatment if you don’t have a history of cold sores, frequent scarring, or facial X-rays. The best candidate has lighter, untanned skin without deep wrinkles or sagging. Deep wrinkles and sagging skin cannot be treated with this process and require other types of treatment. If you don’t have diabetes or heart disease, you are a good candidate. People with heart conditions and certain diseases may not respond well to medium chemical peels.
Darker skin tones may not be suited for deep skin peels, since they could lighten skin. If you have keloids, consider alternative treatment. Talk to the doctor about medications that may make skin more sensitive, and you may be required to stop smoking several weeks prior to treatment.
A chemical peel in Orlando, Lake Nona, Altamonte Springs, or Celebration can revitalize a tired face and restore your confidence. Call the experts at the Institute of Aesthetic Surgery to schedule a free consultation.
