Alpha Hydroxy Acid peels can only be done under expert physician supervision. For prevention and treatment of mild skin damage, skin care at home may be enough. A typical home regimen consists of sunblock, retinol, and Vitamin C.
When the wrinkles and pigmentation begin to get worse, we use both superficial chemical peels and MicroPeel Dermaplanning.
Superficial chemical peels reduce pigmentation and fine lines. For patients with delicate skin, the Refinity Glycolic Acid Peel is good. For other patients, The MicroPeel Plus Salicylic Acid Peel penetrates a little deeper.
MicroPeel Dermaplaning is another good procedure for treating sun damage, superficial lines, and pigmentation. It also improves the texture of your skin. In MicroPeel Dermaplaning, the skin is first cleansed with lactic acid and then a blade is used to exfoliate superficial damaged cells. Then a papaya extract is applied to the skin as an anti-inflammatory. There is no down time with either superficial chemical peels or MicroPeel Dermaplaning. Superficial chemical peels are alternated with the MicroPeel Dermaplaning every six to eight weeks. I feel that for most patients, superficial peels and Dermaplaning are more effective than microdermabrasion.
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatments and non-ablative (no down time) lasers are widely used but, in my opinion, the improvement produced by these procedures is very subtle and we do not use them.
