Chemical Peels
Conveniently located to serve you in San Ramon, CA
Chemical peels in San Ramon, CA, are transformative skin exfoliation treatments offered at the office of board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Michelle J. Place. Performed by her highly trained skincare experts, these treatments help rejuvenate the skin, addressing concerns like fine lines, wrinkles, uneven tone, acne, and acne scars.
Types of Chemical Peels
Our PCA Skin® chemical peels are topical solutions designed to remove damaged outer skin layers and promote cellular turnover. Based on your specific goals, we offer three different peel strengths:
- Superficial peels for gentle exfoliation and a refreshed look with minimal downtime
- Medium peels for more noticeable improvement in texture and tone, addressing moderate imperfections
- Deep peels for more intense care and correction of significant skin concerns
Good Candidates for Chemical Peels
Ideal chemical peel patients should be in good general health, have realistic expectations, and be willing to carefully follow aftercare guidelines. Those with certain skin conditions, active infections, or a history of keloid scarring may not be suitable for this procedure. A consultation is essential to determine if chemical peels are the right choice for you.
What Happens During a Chemical Peel Session?
Chemical peels are administered at our San Francisco Bay Area office. During the treatment, your skin is thoroughly cleansed, and the chemical solution is applied to the targeted areas. The peel’s depth determines the session’s duration and the sensation experienced.
Superficial peels typically cause a mild tingling and are quick to complete. Medium peels penetrate more deeply, resulting in a warming sensation. Deep peels provide intensive exfoliation and require more precise application and post-treatment care. After the solution has acted on the skin, it is neutralized, and soothing agents are applied to enhance comfort and healing.
Chemical Peel Recovery
Recovery varies depending on peel depth and patient skin type. Superficial peels involve little to no downtime, with redness subsiding within a couple of days. Medium peels may require a week for peeling and renewal to occur. Deep peels necessitate a longer recovery period, during which the skin regenerates fully.
To support the healing process, avoid sun exposure, follow the recommended skincare regimen, and stay hydrated. Proper care ensures optimal results and a smoother recovery experience.
