Your Chemical Peel Options

We offer a variety of chemical peels to provide for different needs. Superficial peels offer excellent benefits with minimal downtime. For those needing more significant improvements, our medium depth peels can achieve more dramatic changes, but they also require more recovery time due to the deeper exfoliation.

  • Superficial Peels: To achieve maximum effectiveness from these mild peels, we typically perform alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) peels in a series for maximum effectiveness. We offer AHA peels in different concentrations, depending on your skin care needs.
  • Medium Depth Peels: Formulated to correct more intense damage, our medium peels include the more concentrated salicylic acid peels, Jessner peels, and the Obagi® Blue Peel. Because these peels are stronger, we will advise you on appropriate skin products to use prior to your treatment. By following the recommended home skin regimen, you can minimize downtime and enhance your outcome.

Frequently Asked Questions

No, chemical peels performed by our highly qualified and experienced staff are not dangerous. Chemicals peels are one of the oldest and most reliable ways of rejuvenating the skin. At Hillcrest Plastic Surgery, these facial surfacing treatments are one of the most popular procedures performed. Depending on the type of peel, a chemical peel can:

  • Enhance dull or rough skin
  • Treat acne
  • Improve skin tone and texture

Yes, you can receive a chemical peel at our medical spa in Orlando. Many practitioners shy away from treating ethnic skin with chemical peels. However, great results can be obtained using chemical peels for darker skin types. To achieve these benefits, the skin has to be adequately prepared by using lightening creams and retinols. By performing this preparatory stage, chemical peels can be used to even out the skin tone and blend the complexion.

This depends on your skin type and the nature and severity of your acne. Because we offer 7 different kinds of chemical peels at the Hillcrest Plastic Surgery, we are able to customize your chemical peeling agents to your particular skin type and acne concerns.

We recommend the following measures:

  • Avoid excessive sun exposure the week prior to your chemical peel.
  • Avoid abrading or aggressively scrubbing your skin within a few days of your chemical peel
  • If you have undergone a waxing or other skin treatment before your peel, please inform your skin care specialist.

This depends on skin type and depth of pigment. By creating a personalized skin care regimen for each patient, we are able to perform a series of peels to achieve great results while limiting downtime. For example, for more superficial peels such as glycolic acid, a series of three treatments may be required, while one or two treatments may suffice for medium-depth peels.

You may benefit from Orlando chemical peels if you want to:

  • Diminish facial wrinkles and lines
  • Reduce pore size
  • Correct sun spots, uneven pigmentation and areas of roughness
  • Minimize the visibility of acne scars and other superficial scars
  • Improve active acne

The recovery process varies, depending on the peel used:

  • After a superficial chemical peel, your skin may appear slightly pink or flaky for a few days.
  • After a medium depth peel, you may experience crusting, peeling, redness, and tightness.

After their peels, Dr. Spence and Dr. Ovalle's patients typically experience significantly improved skin texture, with minimized lines and wrinkles and a more even skin tone. Patients with active acne benefit from the decreased oil production and bacteria count, while those with acne scars have smoother skin.
