The Derma Peel procedure uses highly controlled vacuum and pressure to move microscopically abrasive crystals over the surface of the skin. This action causes little or no discomfort while it gently removes the outer layer of the skin. By repeating this process over the course of several weeks, or months, the younger, softer skin moves to the surface, revealing significant textural and color changes. Derma Peel is performed in a sterile environment. Treatment time varies from 15 to 45 minutes, depending on the severity of the skin problems and the area being treated.
Most patients require three to ten treatments.
Your doctor or skin care professional will outline a plan that is best for you. You will notice an immediate improvement in the treated area and you skin will be softer, smoother, and appear younger looking. These desirable effects will increase over the course of the treatment series. The first step is to ask your plastic surgeon to determine if you are a candidate for Derma Peel. Since every individual is unique and has special needs, a personal consultation with your plastic surgeon will be necessary.
