Chemical Peel in Ashland and Medford

What Is a Chemical Peel?

Chemical peels are medical-strength skin procedures that exfoliate the skin and stimulate new skin cell growth. By harnessing the body’s natural repair mechanisms, chemical peels remove the damaged skin layers and rebuild layers full of collagen- and elastin-rich skin cells. These proteins are the reason your skin looks tight and firm.

Unfortunately, the production of collagen and elastin decreases with age, and that leads to facial wrinkles, fine lines, spots, and skin dullness. However, chemical peels can brighten your skin and boost the production of collagen and elastin in a safe way.

Our Chemical Peel Options

Light Chemical Peels

Light chemical peels are used to brighten your complexion, removing dull brown spots and tightening some fine wrinkles. Dr. Schiedler offers a vitamin A-based peel called Brighten Up, which also tightens and firms the skin.

She applies two liquids to the entire face, except the area around your eyes, and you wash off the peel at home later in the day. It does not sting or burn. After using special skincare products at home for 30 days, your skin should be tighter and brighter 1 month later. You will experience mild dryness, pinkness, and light fluffy flakiness during the first 1–2 weeks after the peel, but the skincare products in the peel help to counteract these mild side effects.

This peel is most appropriate for people who do not have much downtime to heal, have never had a peel before, have mild signs of aging, or are looking to kick-start their fresher appearance.

Deep Chemical Peels

For people who do have more time to heal and who have deep wrinkles or lots of sun damage, a deep chemical peel is more appropriate. Dr. Schiedler offers the Oasis Peel to remarkably transform aged skin.

She uses croton oil in this peel. It is one of the most profound methods for rejuvenating the skin, boasting remarkable benefits that can transform the cosmetic appearance of the face. Dr. Schiedler uses these peels to effectively address a myriad of concerns, including:

Deep wrinkles
Rough texture
Hyperpigmentation
Significant sun damage

The combination of croton oil and phenol works synergistically to remove damaged layers of skin, revealing a fresher, more youthful complexion beneath. Many patients report a significant improvement in skin texture and deep wrinkles, with enhanced clarity and reduced visibility of age spots, making these peels a popular choice for individuals seeking a dramatic aesthetic enhancement. About 2 weeks after a deep chemical peel, patients discover that their skin is baby-smooth, feels fresh, and looks up to 20 years younger.

What Are the Effects Like?

The rejuvenation effects of deep chemical peels are profound due to the peel’s ability to stimulate collagen and elastin production in the skin. Post-treatment, patients often experience a plumpness and firmness that can dramatically reduce the signs of aging. This regenerative effect continues for months as the skin heals and remodels itself, providing lasting benefits long after the procedure is completed. Your skin is transformed and still looks great years later.

Many patients enjoy a more vibrant and youthful appearance, as the skin becomes smoother and tighter, thus enhancing overall facial contours. This transformative experience also boosts self-esteem, giving individuals more confidence in their rejuvenated appearance.

Deeper peels will not only make your skin look healthier; it will actually BE healthier. Deeper peels can get rid of sun-damaged cells that can cause skin cancer. Having fewer precancerous and cancerous skin cells is merely an extra bonus of getting a deep chemical peel.

How to See Ideal Chemical Peel Results

For optimal results, adequate preparation with topical skincare products is necessary before undergoing a deep chemical peel. This preliminary phase typically involves the use of retinoids, brightening ingredients, and sun protection to ensure the peel’s efficacy. Proper skin preparation not only boosts results but also helps minimize potential complications, allowing for faster healing.

Dr. Schiedler recommends a preparation period of at least 8 weeks, during which patients are guided on the appropriate application of skincare products that promote cell turnover, allow the peel to be applied more evenly, and make the skin heal faster.

Is There a Recovery Period After a Chemical Peel?

The healing timeframe after a deep chemical peel may vary from person to person, but it is essential to anticipate some downtime, often ranging from 1 to 2 weeks, depending on individual skin response and the depth of the peel. Patients experience swelling and crusting in the first few days post-treatment. However, this resolves in 10 to 12 days as the skin undergoes a natural healing process.

It is important to note that the skin will remain pink as it builds collagen, and this pink phase typically lasts anywhere from 3 to 6 months. During this recovery period, disciplined sun avoidance is crucial. Patients should diligently apply broad-spectrum sunscreen with zinc to protect their newly exposed skin, as it is more vulnerable to UV damage and brown spots.

Why Choose a Chemical Peel?

Ultimately, deep chemical peels with croton oil represent a powerful option for those wishing to refresh their appearance and reclaim youthful, glowing skin. By effectively removing layers of sun-damaged skin and addressing various signs of aging, these peels offer marked improvements that can be life-changing. The commitment to pre-peel skincare and post-peel care, including understanding the downtime and healing process, contributes to the overall success and satisfaction of the treatment. With appropriate care, patients can enjoy a renewed sense of confidence in their skin, complemented by a smooth, youthful visage that reflects their revitalized beauty.
