Chemical Peels in Houston

What Are Chemical Peels?

Chemical peels are advanced skincare treatments that involve applying a specially formulated solution to exfoliate and rejuvenate the skin. They work by removing the outermost layers of damaged skin cells, promoting the growth of new, healthier skin.

Each type of peel is designed to cater to varying levels of skin damage and specific concerns, ensuring optimal results for every patient. For example:

• Superficial peels are an excellent option for those seeking to refresh their skin and treat minor imperfections
• In contrast, medium peels target more pronounced issues such as moderate wrinkles and sun damage
• For individuals with significant skin concerns, deep chemical peels provide transformative results by addressing deep wrinkles, severe discoloration, and other advanced signs of aging

During your consultation, we will carefully evaluate your skin and recommend the most suitable peel for your needs.

Are You a Good Candidate for a Chemical Peel?

At Chamata Plastic Surgery, chemical peels are a great option for patients looking to improve skin tone, texture, and overall radiance without surgery. You may be a good candidate if you want to treat:

• Fine lines and mild wrinkles
• Sun damage or hyperpigmentation
• Acne or acne scars
• Dull, uneven skin texture

Ideal candidates are in good overall health, not using certain skin medications, and have realistic expectations about gradual improvement. During your consultation, Dr. Chamata will assess your skin and customize a treatment plan to help you achieve smooth, refreshed, and glowing skin.

The Chemical Peel Process

Our chemical peels in Houston at Chamata Plastic Surgery begin with a comprehensive consultation:

• During this initial meeting, we will assess your skin’s current condition, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine the appropriate peel type
• Once a treatment plan is established, we will provide detailed pre-treatment instructions to prepare your skin

On the day of the procedure, your skin will be cleansed thoroughly before the chemical solution is applied. The solution is carefully administered to ensure even coverage and optimal penetration.

While the treatment may cause a mild tingling or warming sensation, most patients find it tolerable. After the solution has taken effect, it will be neutralized and removed. Post-treatment, we will provide personalized aftercare guidelines, including skincare recommendations to enhance your results.

Recovery varies depending on the intensity of the peel. Superficial peels may require little to no downtime, while medium and deep peels might involve a few days to a week of healing. Throughout the recovery process, our team remains available to answer any questions and ensure your comfort.
