Chemical Peels Chevy Chase are a wonderful way to address a variety of conditions in one treatment. Chemical Peels Chevy Chase improve skin texture and tone. The overall health of the skin is improved with each peel, ridding of the dead skin on the surface which makes the skin smoother and improves the appearance of makeup when it is worn. Chemical peels also help improve acneic skin, hyperpigmentation, fine lines and reduce pores. The type of peel you receive for your treatments can be the same every time or can be varied with each visit. When you arrive for your visit let us know your concerns and we will make suggestion as to the best peel program for you as well as the skin care products you would use in between peels. Typically, peels are performed on a monthly basis but can be increased to weekly intervals in patients with excessive acne. We have given a brief description of a few of the peels that we have to offer. The menu changes frequently as we are in search of the best.
PCA Peels
Ultra Peel® Forte
Those with resilient skin who have more dramatic wrinkling, sun damage and acne scarring are the most suitable candidates for this deeper and more active treatment. Ultra Peel® Forte is a 20% TCA peel that will effectively treat aging skin, acne, pigment disorders, smoker’s skin and photo damaged skin. This treatment is ideal for dehydrated and aging skin in need of rejuvenation and is performed by Dr. Jennifer Parker Porter.
