What is a chemical peel?
Southeastern Dermatology Consultants and medispa of Knoxville offers a variety of services to patients, including chemical peels. Chemical peels are treatments that are used to help rejuvenate, freshen, and address conditions of the skin. Some chemical peels are lighter and are done to help address clogged pores, acne, and other surface problems. Others are stronger and deeper in order to address more prominent lines and wrinkles. When a patient is considering a chemical peel, they will often need to schedule a consultation with Dr. Doppelt to discuss their expectations, concerns, and any existing conditions that may affect their ability to receive a chemical peel.
Chemical peels are designed to regenerate skin cells. Depending on the strength of the chemical and problem being addressed, Dr. Doppelt will select a specific acidic ingredient to integrate into your chemical peel. This chemical blend is then applied to the face for a precise amount of time, and is then often wiped off and washed off the skin immediately after the time period has passed.
The strength of the chemical peel will affect how long a patient will experience their epidermis "peeling" and "flaking" off. Some chemical peels can be done during a patient's lunch hour and can allow them to return straight to work with minimal redness and irritation. Treatment with the stronger formulas may require several days of care and attention. These deeper peels are often used in more extreme cases, since lighter peels and lesser chemicals can often address skin conditions with shorter "down time."
Dr. Doppelt has a wide variety of chemical peel options available for his patients. If you have been struggling with fine lines and wrinkles or surface conditions such as pigmentation issues or acne, a chemical peel may be right for you.
