Chemical Peels and Skin Care

Another one of Ariana Cosmetic’s popular non-invasive facial rejuvenation options are chemical peels. Chemical peels have come a long way since their early beginning, and no longer have a reputation for being a harsh skin care treatment with substantial downtime. Ariana’s chemical peels are always carefully controlled to provide great results for our patients without having to take a week off to sit at home and heal. Chemical peels work by removing the top layer of skin from the face. Most of the discoloration, old skin cells and uneven texture lie in this top layer, so the chemical peel essentially reveals a younger, smoother set of skin cells underneath that make the face look fresh and young. Fine lines should also fade with chemical peels, although deeper wrinkles will not be eliminated. For deeper wrinkles, consider injectable cosmetic procedures such as Botox and fillers, which can be used in tandem with chemical peels to create even better skin care rejuvenation.

Along with regular chemical peels, patients are recommended to invest in good quality skin care products that are only available through a doctor’s office. If you have used over the counter skin care products with lackluster results, we suggest trying some of the leading prescription brand skin care products from cosmetic surgeons and dermatologists. These skin care products have higher concentrations of active ingredients for a much more dramatic anti-aging effect than over the counter skin care. Pairing quality skin care with chemical peels is a great way to turn back the clock and give your skin the beautiful boost it deserves.

Over the years, your skin has been exposed to a number of environmental stressors, which causes damage that can reach the deepest layers of your skin. Photodamage, caused by the sun’s harmful rays, is the main cause of the fine lines, wrinkles and age spots that you may already see or you will eventually see on your face.

Healthy Skin

The skin's cellular functions are accelerated allowing continual renewal as dead skin cells are replaced by fresh cells pushed to the skin's surface, making the surface (stratum corneum) smoother and naturally hydrated. Frackles and age spots seem to disappear. Pigment cells (melanin) are more evenly distributed, helping prevent the appearance of new freckles and age spots. The skin is rich in collagen and elastin that promote resilience and firmness. All these functions work together to keep skin looking and acting younger and healthier.
