Chemical Peel

 

 

Dr. Cruise's Philosophy Regarding Chemical Peel

 

Chemical peeling is a very effective tool within my armamentarium for skin care. Because it is less likely to cause prolonged redness, it is often a better treatment choice than laser skin resurfacing. I feel so strongly about the merits of peeling that I, personally, have a peel every 4 years as part of my anti-aging protocol. By doing this, collagen within the dermis is forced to recreate itself in a more youthful fashion. It also enhances the blood supply to the dermis which creates a healthy, glowing appearance.

 

Carefully read over the benefits of chemical peeling because they apply to just about everyone. The downside to chemical peeling is that you must be careful to stay out of the sun. This is something you should do anyway. This will require using sunscreens and wearing hats. The benefits to your skin, however, are well worth it.

 

I encourage you to incorporate chemical peeling as part of your skin care management program as I have. If you do not have a program or would like to learn state-of-the-art skin care, I would love to discuss this with you because skin care and anti-aging are as important, if not more so, then rejuvenation.

Someone considering chemical peeling must understand that in order to get the desired improvement it is necessary to peel down to the deeper levels of the skin. This will leave you looking unpresentable to the public for about a week. Surprisingly, it is not painful, despite what it may look like.

 

In my practice, I find it extremely important to undergo a pre-peel protocol consisting of Retin-A and glycolic acid for at least 6 weeks prior to the procedure. Ideally, you should continue this forever.

 

Proper skin care is the most cost effective, simplest way to keep your skin looking its best. I encourage you to consult with me. I will go over your options. You will be surprised at how easy and effective it is. I will clarify issues that the cosmetic industry purposely makes confusing in order to sell its products.
