Facials and Chemical Peels

What are Facials and Chemical Peels?

Having smooth, fresh, vibrant skin can make you feel young and refreshed. Dr. Christian Paquet and his highly trained aesthetic staff specialize in state-of-the-art skin care treatments to revitalize dull, dry skin.

We offer a wide range of facials to leave your skin with a healthy glow. The goal is to cleanse and re-energize your skin, stimulating a deep cellular response to repair and replenish damaged skin cells.

Chemical peels are an excellent way to improve the texture of your skin, leaving you with smoother, tighter, rejuvenated skin. Available in various strengths from mild to deep, a chemical peel removes the outer damaged layers of your skin, revealing the fresh healthy skin beneath.

Chemical peels help to improve:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Skin discoloration
• Dull, dry, rough skin
• Shallow acne scars
• Freckling

Am I a Candidate for Facials and Chemical Peels?

Anyone of any skin tone can benefit from a facial to improve the overall look and feel of their skin. Healthy adults who are seeking to enhance their facial skin appearance with more drastic results can often benefit from a chemical peel. However, you should not receive a chemical peel if you are pregnant or breastfeeding or have an active skin condition or infection in the treatment area.

The Facial Procedure

There are many different facial treatments available today to treat a variety of specific skin concerns. However, a facial generally consists of cleansing, exfoliation, steaming, extraction, and a mask. Our team will speak with you to discuss your skin care goals to determine the best facial for you.

The Chemical Peel Procedures

During a chemical peel, a special chemical solution is applied to the skin to remove the topmost layers, stimulating collagen production and revealing healthy skin underneath. Chemical peels are available in three different depths, including:

Light Chemical Peels

Light peels remove the outermost layer of skin to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin tone, acne, and dryness.

Medium Chemical Peels

Medium peels remove skin cells from the upper and middle layers of the skin for a slightly deeper peel. It is used to soften wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven skin tone.

Deep Chemical Peels

Deep chemical peels remove skin cells even deeper than a medium peel and are great for deep wrinkles and scars.

Facial and Chemical Peel Recovery

Both facials and chemical peels do not require downtime or recovery periods. You may experience some redness and discomfort following your procedure, but it is often easily managed and treated with gentle, unscented lotions and staying out of the sun for 24 to 48 hours.
