Chemical Peel Fort Myers, FL | Farahmand Plastic Surgery

What is a Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel is an advanced skin resurfacing procedure that applies a specialized chemical solution to remove damaged outer skin layers. This treatment effectively softens wrinkles and reduces hyperpigmentation by promoting fresh skin regeneration.

Procedure Benefits

• Softens fine wrinkles by approximately 50%
• Reduces appearance of brown spots
• Improves overall skin texture and tone
• Promotes new skin formation within 7-10 days

Ideal Candidates for Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are most suitable for patients with fair complexions. Individuals with darker skin tones may experience uneven pigmentation. Patients with active skin disorders or scleroderma are not recommended for this treatment.

Treatment Expectations

Chemical peels effectively address fine wrinkles but cannot improve deep, etched wrinkles or lift sagging skin. For more comprehensive facial rejuvenation, patients might consider complementary procedures like filler injections or facelifts.

Recovery and Aftercare

Following a deep chemical peel, treated skin appears raw and requires careful maintenance. Patients are instructed to apply Vaseline during the healing process, which typically takes 7-14 days. The skin may appear red for several months, though makeup can help conceal this temporary discoloration.

Important Considerations

• Avoid sun exposure after treatment
• Skin might not tan following deep resurfacing
• Alternative lighter peels available for tan-preferring patients

Post-Procedure Skin Care

After the healing process, patients can expect smoother, more evenly toned skin with a softer appearance of fine lines. Makeup can be applied once initial pinkness subsides to help conceal new skin.
