What Is A Chemical Peel?
To provide the best results from chemical peel aesthetic treatments, Vita Nova Anti-Aging and Rejuvenation Center provides you with different options. Your medical-grade chemical peel with exfoliating solutions (such as salicylic, glycolic, trichloroacetic, and lactic acids) will reveal more radiant skin. At our Carlsbad, NM office, board-certified internal medicine physician Dr. Francisco Cardona offers chemical peel treatments that decrease skin abnormalities, such as scars, fine lines, wrinkles, dry patches, hyperpigmentation problems, and more. Chemical peels remove damaged, dead skin cells with the application of a customized solution on the skin that causes the upper layer to peel off. As your skin recovers and starts to rejuvenate and repair itself, you may see a clearer, smoother complexion. This noninvasive technique can help make your skin luminous and can also be used for the face and neck.
How Does A Chemical Peel Work?
On the day of your procedure at Vita Nova Anti-Aging and Rejuvenation Center, we will have you lie down in a comfortable position to administer your treatment. We will make sure your skin is cleaned prior to applying the customized solution to the treatment areas. We will brush the solution onto your face and allow it to work for a specific length of time. Finally, we will clean the peel off your face and apply a neutralizing agent. Patients may want to bring sunscreen and a hat to wear outside following the procedure to avoid UV exposure.
What to Expect
Based on the type of the chemical peel you choose, you can expect the face to itch and peel for a few days to a couple of weeks. Dr. Cardona or a member of Her team will explain ways to care for your face during your consultation. Please keep in mind that no matter how badly your skin itches throughout the recovery, it is never good to peel the skin off. You could cause scarring to your cause skin!

Chemical Peel FAQs
How much does a chemical peel cost?
When you come for your consultation, Dr. Cardona will create your custom treatment plan and discuss your costs. The cost of a chemical peel can vary depending on the level you get. Vita Nova Anti-Aging and Rejuvenation Center accepts many payment methods, and we often run specials on skin treatments like chemical peels. Buying a package with several chemical peel treatments can also help you save money.
What level should I choose for my chemical peel?
Which level of chemical peel is best for you will depend on your specific skin needs and cosmetic goals. During your initial consultation with Dr. Cardona, he will help you select which formula is best for your skin. Some things you might want to consider are your general health, the type of skin you have, how deep you want the peel to work, how long you can spend in recovery, and what concerns you have about the appearance of your skin. For your first peel, it is better to try a light peel and see what you think of the results. After this, you and Dr. Cardona may alter your treatment plan to decide the best type of peel for your skin.
Will my face hurt after a chemical peel?
Depending on the formula selected, you may have mild discomfort when it is on your skin. If you have a lighter peel, you will probably notice some discomfort, but this can be alleviated with the use of a handheld fan. Medium and deep peels are good for deeper blemishes and offer results that last a long time; however, they usually are more uncomfortable. Numbing cream, medications, and ointments may be used to minimize your discomfort during your chemical peel. Dr. Cardona or a member of his team will talk to you about skin care after your chemical peel to maintain your results.
Can I combine a chemical peel with other treatments?
For even greater improvements to your skin, you may combine a chemical peel with another skin treatment at Vita Nova Anti-Aging and Rejuvenation Center. In your initial consultation, be open with Dr. Cardona when describing your skin issues so he can create a personalized treatment plan to achieve your goals. This may include adding injectable wrinkle treatments along with your chemical peel to rejuvenate your whole face.
