Chemicals = Better Skin. What?

Studio shot of a beautiful young woman posing against a gray background Lots of things seem to get slower as we age. Our collagen production slows and our skin sags because of it. Our metabolism slows and we gain weight easier. Our movement slows from a healthy gait to an eventual shuffle. 

Even our skin cells don’t shed themselves with the same frequency as they did when we were young. This buildup makes the skin wrinkled, blotchy, and can make it appear somewhat drab. A chemical peel with the team at Creative Image Laser Solutions can force some of those skin cells to shed again, rejuvenating the skin as it did in your younger days. 

The goal is to remove the top layers of the skin, exposing unlined, new skin beneath. At Creative Image, we offer light- and medium-strength chemical peels that mainly use naturally occurring acids. We leave our more aggressive skin resurfacing procedures to our lasers. 

What can be addressed with chemical peels? 

  •     Reduce and diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
  •     Improve skin tone
  •     Decrease discoloration
  •     Reduce the appearance of dark areas from pregnancy or birth control pills
  •     Treat certain forms of acne
  •     Improve the appearance of minor scars
  •     Decrease the prominence of sun spots and other sun damage

How do we do chemical peels at Creative Image? 

The concept behind a chemical peel is to apply a chemical to the skin (usually the face) and then allow that chemical to penetrate the layers of the skin, breaking down the bonds that hold the skin together and causing peeling in a few days. 

At your appointment, your skin is first thoroughly cleansed, and your eyes and hair are protected. We then apply the chemical solution to your treatment areas. The solution and its duration on your skin are dependent on the patient’s individual skin conditions. For our light peels, we use glycolic, salicylic acid, or lactic acid. These acids are all naturally occurring in foods such as fruit or dairy products. For medium peels, we use trichloroacetic acid. 

Chemical peels vs. laser resurfacing 

We offer both chemical peels and various forms of laser resurfacing at Creative Image and believe both areas can benefit our patients. We don’t perform deep peels, as Dr. Butka believes the risks involved with potential scarring and hyperpigmentation are too great. Our lasers provide a better vehicle for more aggressive skin resurfacing.
