Board-certified plastic surgeons Dr. Mustoe and Dr. Sinno offer powerful skin treatments, such as chemical peels and microdermabrasion, at their Chicago, Illinois, practice to rejuvenate your appearance and boost your confidence without significant downtime.
Chemical Peels
A chemical peel improves and smooths the texture of facial skin by removing its damaged outer layers. Our medical-grade chemical exfoliation treatments are customized to each individual to deliver subtle, gradual, or astonishing transformations.
TLKM Plastic SurgeryPopular Types of Chemical Peels in Chicago
Dr. Mustoe and Dr. Sinno offer the following medical-grade chemical peels to help patients treat aging or damaged skin:
- Lactic acid peel: A hydrating acid that gently exfoliates while improving skin tone and texture. Lactic acid peels address pigmentation issues, sun-damaged skin, fine lines, and wrinkles. This gentle exfoliant is ideal for sensitive skin and safe for all skin types.
- Jessner peel: The ultimate anti-aging treatment, a Jessner peel reduces the appearance of melasma, brown spots, and mild rosacea with a synergy of effective acids.
- TCA peel: This anti-aging peel improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and enhances skin tone and texture. It’s an excellent option for reviving mature skin.
- Salicylic peel: This highly popular peel deeply cleanses pores with antiseptic properties. Salicylic peels stimulate exfoliation in the skin, clearing pores and promoting new cell growth while reducing inflammation and smoothing the skin’s surface. Its powerful ingredients make this peel the gold standard for treating acne.
Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a safe, non surgical medical spa treatment that gently exfoliates by removing dead skin cells to reveal softer, smoother, younger-looking skin. A series of 4 to 6 treatments softens fine lines and wrinkles, reduces acne scarring, and helps reverse the signs of aging. It’s an ideal approach for patients with aging or damaged skin who wish to rejuvenate their look without undergoing an invasive facial plastic surgery procedure.
PowerPeel® Microdermabrasion
PowerPeel is recognized as a leading microdermabrasion treatment for its ability to maximize your comfort, safety, and results. We expertly perform PowerPeel to help patients look radiant and refreshed with minimal downtime.
The popularity of PowerPeel microdermabrasion also stems from its ability to reduce pore size and stimulate the growth of collagen, which helps your skin look younger and smoother. Patients typically see immediate results, and the treatment is safe for most skin tones and types.
Skin Treatment FAQ
What is recovery like after a chemical peel?
After a chemical peel, your skin may look sunburned and flaky. It’s essential to let your skin shed naturally, versus picking at peeling skin. You should also refrain from vigorous activity during initial healing because sweating can exacerbate redness and peeling. Closely follow your detailed post-treatment instructions for optimal healing and results.
Is microdermabrasion painful?
When performed by a qualified provider, microdermabrasion should not hurt. Rather, it’s considered a safe, gentle exfoliating treatment. You may feel mild tingling or scratching during treatment, and your skin may feel dry or tight afterwards. Overall, microdermabrasion is well-tolerated rather than painful.
How safe are these treatments?
Skin treatments like chemical peels and microdermabrasion are safe, minimally invasive treatments that improve skin tone and texture. You can ensure your safety and results by choosing a licensed, experienced skin care provider to perform your skin treatment.
What potential side effects should you be aware of?
Potential side effects, such as temporary redness, sensitivity, or flaking, can be managed and minimized by carefully following your post-treatment protocol. It’s essential to use gentle facial products and avoid sun exposure immediately after treatment.
