Chemical Peel Treatments – Minneapolis St. Paul, MN

When the damage to the skin is deep, treatments like microdermabrasion and photo facial are not highly effective. Sometimes, we may recommend a chemical peel, which can treat skin conditions that are more than superficial in nature. After a careful evaluation and examination of your skin and consultation with you, chemical peels are an important option that can produce dramatic results, giving you younger, healthier looking skin. Some of the conditions that can be treated effectively include:

• Acne Scarring
• Fine Wrinkles
• Sun Damaged Skin
• Skin Laxity
• Uneven Skin Pigmentation

A chemical peel also enhances the skin tone and color, diminish wrinkles and shrinks blood vessels and pore size.

Is Chemical Peel the Right Choice?

Chemical peels use thoroughly tested products available only to medical professionals. After a thorough evaluation, your skin care specialist will explain the details of the treatment and its results. You’ll plan the timing of your skin peel carefully around your schedule to allow for complete recovery from its effects. Our Twin Cities medical spa offers more than one type of chemical peel system.

• Obagi Blue Peels

  Unlike some other skin peels, Obagi Blue Peel is available only through medical professionals. It’s not an alpha-hydroxy or superficial peel, and allows your medical professional to custom tailor the depth and number of coats applied. It can be used on the neck, chest, and hands, as well as the face. The flexibility of an Obagi Blue Peel means that the entire process is under complete control. We can help you decide if this product is right for you. The procedure is quick, simple, and well tolerated. The number of coats determined by your skin care professional in consultation with you is applied. You may experience a short-lived burning sensation. Once the Obagi Blue Peel is applied you’ll have a slight blue tint on your skin, which will wash off in a few hours. Two or three days after the procedure, your skin will begin to peel. The peeling will continue for several days, depending on the target depth of the treatment. You can continue your normal activities, but should avoid using makeup on the treated area. Many patients opt to avoid some activities during this process. Once peeling is complete, you’ll notice dramatic results right away, as shown in the above before and after photos. The improvements in the appearance of your complexion will keep improving for the next few weeks, with firmer, clearer, smoother, and healthier skin. Your new youthful look will be obvious to everyone.

• Vitalize Peel by SkinMedica

  Another choice from our medical spa, SkinMedica Vitalize Peel is an alpha-hydroxy peel system combined with other peeling ingredients to form a strong, but gentle peel. Clinically proven to help reduce the signs of aging, it’s available only to medical professionals. A single Vitalize Peel treatment improves your skin’s texture and tone, lessens the appearance of fine lines, and gives you a healthier, more youthful appearance. Even more dramatic improvements can be obtained with a series of peels. Your skin care specialist will help you decide if this procedure is the right option for you and explain how it works and the aftercare completely.

• RESERFACE Chemical Resurfacing Peel System

  RESERFACE is the latest chemical peel product that is designed to provide controlled exfoliation of damaged skin with significant visible results after just one treatment. This powerful yet non-invasive approach resurfaces the skin chemically with a combination of alpha hydroxy acids, beta hydroxy acid and other exfoliating acids to achieve a superficial to medium-depth peel. It is shown to greatly improve skin tone, tighten the skin, reduce wrinkles and better skin texture. RESERFACE comes with three levels, each targeting a certain peeling depth.

How Much Do Chemical Peels Cost?

The cost depends on several factors. Treated conditions, the body area, the brand of peel, the time it takes to complete the procedure, the depth of the peel, and the number of treatment needed. We offer multiple peel packages that offer significant savings for each treatment. During your free consultation, we can give you an accurate price estimate based on a thorough evaluation.
