chemical peels
I offer three DermaQuest™ advanced chemical skin peels; the Modified Jessners, Skin Brite, and the TCA. These peels are customized for the type and condition of your skin. A series of 3 peels, twice per year, is usually recommended for maximum results. You will also receive advice on appropriate home care between appointments.
NOTE: Although everyone's reaction is different, you can expect about one to two weeks of "downtime" while your skin peels, so please schedule accordingly, i.e., no weddings, reunions, parties, etc. for two weeks post-treatment. Also, you may wish to bring a driver with you - at least for the first time you receive one of these peels - so you know how you will react. You will look fabulous after your downtime is complete with all brand-new skin showing through, but it is imperative to use proper protection from the sun after these treatments.
