Chemical Peel Purchase, NY | Michael S. Suzman, MD

Understanding Chemical Peel Treatments

A chemical peel is an advanced skin rejuvenation solution designed to address various dermatological concerns. During the procedure, a specialized topical treatment is applied to the face, allowing damaged skin layers to exfoliate and reveal fresh, healthier skin underneath.

Types of Chemical Peels

Michael S. Suzman, MD offers three distinct chemical peel intensities tailored to individual skin needs:

Superficial/Light Peel

• Mildest chemical peel option
• Takes only 3-5 days to complete
• Removes top skin layer for immediate smoothness
• Typically uses alpha/beta hydroxyl acids, salicylic acid, glycolic acid

Medium Depth Peel

• Deeper penetration for more dramatic results
• Uses Trichloroacetic acid (TCA)
• Treats hyperpigmentation, wrinkles, and sun damage
• Requires approximately 10 days recovery

Deep Peel

• Strongest chemical peel intensity
• Addresses deep scarring and significant skin irregularities
• Uses high-strength TCA or phenol
• Requires 3-4 weeks recovery
• May require anesthesia

Treatment Process

Each chemical peel procedure follows a systematic approach. The skin is thoroughly cleansed before applying the chemical solution. A handheld fan helps minimize discomfort during treatment. Post-procedure, a soothing ointment is applied to support healing.

Patient Recommendations

Patients should avoid sun exposure and refrain from picking at peeling skin to prevent potential scarring. Multiple treatments are often recommended to achieve optimal results.

Ideal Candidates for Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are recommended for patients seeking improvement in sun-damaged skin, pigmentation issues, scarring, and other skin irregularities. Dr. Suzman and his professional aesthetician collaborate to develop personalized treatment plans.
