Chemical Peel

 

 

Are you a good candidate for chemical peel?

 

People who could benefit most from chemical peeling are those with sun- damaged skin. If you feel that your skin would be improved by any of the reasons mentioned above in the benefits section then you are a good candidate.

 

People who have been on Accutane within the last 2 years should not have chemical peeling. Accutane prevents adequate peeling after a chemical peel. Patients with a history of herpes should notify Dr. Cruise so that proper prevention is instituted. Herpes reactivation can occur after a peel.

 

Another consideration for those considering chemical peeling is that it is important to stay out of intense sun exposure for at least 6 months. Ultraviolet rays can cause undesirable darkening or redness of post-peel patients. Dr. Cruise will discuss ways to avoid sun exposure. He will also go over a simple, effective skin care program that he follows. This program includes daily glycolic acid moisturizers and Retin-A as a minimum.
