Chemical Peels Los Angeles | Marina Plastic Surgery

Transform Your Skin with Chemical Peels at Marina Plastic Surgery

As we get older, our skin often shows the effects of sun exposure, pollution, and the natural aging process. These factors can lead to common skin issues like fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, uneven skin tone, and sun damage. Many people get frustrated with over-the-counter products that promise great results but don't really deliver. That's where professional chemical peels can really make a difference. Chemical peels offer a powerful solution by removing the outer layers of damaged skin, encouraging the growth of new, healthier skin underneath.

Chemical peels have been used for over 100 years to create an even and controlled shedding of damaged skin cells. Each year thousands of these treatments are performed in the United States, including Beverly Hills and Los Angeles. A chemical peel is applied to the skin to remove dead skin cells and stimulate the production of new skin cells. It tightens the skin, reduces wrinkling, and restores a more youthful appearance. At Marina Plastic Surgery, we strive to deliver the best chemical peels Los Angeles has to offer.

ABOUT
CHEMICAL PEELS

Chemical peels are applied to the skin to remove dead skin cells and stimulate the production of new ones. They can effectively improve a wide variety of skin conditions including:

Fine lines and wrinkles
Uneven pigmentation
Shallow acne scars
Sun-damaged skin
Age spots
Freckling

A chemical peel is not a substitute for a face lift or a brow lift. It cannot correct excessively wrinkled or sagging skin. But, in many cases a chemical peel is performed in conjunction with these procedures. Ask your skin care consultant about a VISIA® Complexion Analysis, which enables us to design rejuvenation and skin care programs for your specific complexion.

Perfect Derma Chemical Peel

At Marina Plastic Surgery, we are excited to offer the Perfect Derma Peel, a next level chemical peel treatment renowned for its effectiveness and minimal downtime. This treatment is provided by our experienced team in our Los Angeles clinic, ensuring you receive the highest level of care in a comfortable and welcoming environment.

The Perfect Derma Peel is a medium-depth peel that combines powerful ingredients to improve skin tone, texture, and clarity. This peel includes glutathione, a potent antioxidant that brightens the skin and reduces inflammation, alongside other beneficial components like TCA, retinoic acid, salicylic acid, and kojic acid. While traditional chemical peels also improve skin texture and tone, the Perfect Derma Peel stands out due to its unique formulation and reduced downtime. It not only addresses common skin concerns but also incorporates glutathione, which helps to combat oxidative stress and enhance overall skin health.

FIRE & ICE

This is a NEW fabulous facial that is designed to rapidly and safely resurface the skin, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, smooth, soften, and encourage cellular renewal. This remarkable treatment is a combination of two therapeutic masques.

The extremely powerful INTENSIVE RESURFACING MASQUE is clinically formulated with: sugar cane extract (a source of glycolic acid) (18%), citric acid, apple extract, retinol (vitamin A), niacin amide (Vitamin B3), and potent antioxidants – including green tea extract. The second masque is the REJUVENATING MASQUE, which is a soothing, hydrating treatment formulated with hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, green tea extract, licorice extract, grape seed extract, and rosemary extract.

In addition to the professional-only masques, this Fire and Ice treatment is complemented by a unique combination of serums and creams. Awakening your senses, this phenomenal system incorporates both active and soothing formulas, which evoke aromas of warm cinnamon spice and brisk cool peppermint.

Biomedic MicroPeel^®

The Biomedic MicroPeel is a complete and technically advanced system for the skin that can improve years of environmental exposure and skin conditions, such as acne. MicroPeel is a 3-step process that removes a micro-thin top layer of skin. Using either physical or enzymatic exfoliation, alpha hydroxy acid solution, and cryogenic therapy the skin is exfoliated and stimulated. These peels are safe and effective procedures that require little or no recovery. With each additional procedure, you will notice improvements of skin clarity, tone and texture. For maximum results we recommend a series of 6 treatments in 4-6 week intervals.

The Biomedic MicroPeel Plus outperforms other superficial peels by freeing the skin of all dead cells and stimulating cellular turnover. An application of salicylic acid in the form of microcrystals targets the exact area on the skin that needs improvement resulting in a softening of fine lines and discoloration, fading dark spots, and diminishing enlarged pores and acne. This procedure is considered to be a revolutionary skincare advancement with minimal recovery and can be performed every 4-6 weeks. The amount of MicroPeel Plus treatments you receive will be determined upon evaluation.

Am I a candidate for Chemical Peel?

At our clinic in Los Angeles chemical peels ideal candidates are individuals looking to improve skin imperfections such as fine lines, acne scars, sun damage, and uneven skin tone. Chemical peels are suitable for various skin types and tones, but it's essential to have realistic expectations about the results. Generally, those with fair skin and light hair are good candidates for medium and deep peels, while those with darker skin may benefit more from milder peels to avoid hyperpigmentation.

However, individuals with certain skin conditions, allergies, or health issues may need to consult with our specialists to determine eligibility. Conditions such as active skin infections, a history of keloids, or recent use of specific acne treatments like isotretinoin can impact suitability for the procedure. Additionally, pregnant or breastfeeding women should avoid chemical peels due to potential risks. Our specialists at Marina Plastic Surgery will conduct a thorough assessment to ensure the treatment is safe and effective for you.

Consultation and Preparation

Your journey to revitalized skin begins with a thorough consultation at Marina Plastic Surgery. During this session, our experts will assess your skin, discuss your goals, and create a customized treatment plan. The consultation involves a detailed skin analysis and medical history review to determine the most appropriate type of peel for your needs. This personalized approach ensures that you receive the best possible care and achieve optimal results.

Preparation for a chemical peel may include avoiding certain medications and skincare products, as well as following a specific skincare routine. You may be advised to stop using retinoids, exfoliants, or other products that can irritate the skin. Sun protection is crucial in the weeks leading up to your peel, as tanned or sunburned skin can increase the risk of complications. Our team will provide you with detailed pre-treatment instructions to ensure your skin is in the best possible condition for the procedure.

Procedure

Chemical peels are typically performed in our office and can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the depth of the peel. The procedure begins with cleansing the skin to remove any oils or impurities. Depending on the depth of the peel, a numbing agent may be applied to ensure your comfort. For deeper peels, a sedative or pain reliever may also be provided.

Once your skin is prepped, the chemical solution is carefully applied to the treatment area. This solution works by creating a controlled injury that promotes the growth of new skin cells. You might feel a mild stinging or burning sensation during the application, which is temporary. After the appropriate amount of time, the chemical peel is neutralized, and soothing products are applied to calm the skin. Our team will monitor you throughout the procedure to ensure your safety and comfort.

Results, Recovery, and Aftercare

Results from a chemical peel can be seen within a few days, with full results appearing after a few weeks. Initially, you may notice some redness and peeling, which is a normal part of the healing process. As your skin begins to regenerate, you'll see improvements in texture, tone, and overall appearance. The extent and duration of these effects depend on the depth of the peel.

Post-treatment care includes avoiding sun exposure, using gentle skincare products, and following specific aftercare instructions provided by our team. Protecting your skin from the sun is crucial to preventing damage and ensuring the best results. We recommend using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher and wearing protective clothing when outdoors. Additionally, keeping your skin moisturized and avoiding harsh products will help support the healing process. Most patients experience minimal downtime, but it's important to follow all aftercare guidelines to achieve optimal results.
