The value of chemical peels goes well beyond cost
Merriam-Webster defines “cost” as the amount of money needed to pay for something. They describe “value” as a fair return for money, or usefulness or usefulness or importance. Women and men in Glen Ridge and surrounding areas are naturally concerned about the cost of top-shelf dermatological care. The savvy ones are also aware of the value of effective treatments for radiantly healthy skin. Dr. Jeanine Downie of image Dermatology ® P.C. delivers affordable complexion improvement with chemical peels. Dr. Downie wants everyone to understand that for both males and females that chemical peels are the most popular cosmetic procedure that she performs in her practice.
What is a chemical peel?
A chemical peel is the application of a solution to improve the tone and texture of the skin, usually on the face, neck, and décolletage. This technique encourages natural exfoliation of dull, dead skin, without abrasion. As outer layers of skin slough off, a fresh new complexion emerges. In experienced hands, chemical peels effectively treat lines, coarse texture, pigmentation spots, and acne.
Regular chemical peels are an ideal solution for patients who need more than topical treatment.
Comparing peels to other options
Laser therapies accomplish a similar resurfacing goal, but typically at a higher cost, with some discomfort, more downtime, and with added risk of side effects.
As a Board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Downie has extensive training and experience in analyzing skin types. She customizes chemical peel treatment by choosing the right formulation, monitoring progress, and adjusting the length of time the solution is left on the patient’s skin.
Light peels are actually a pampering spa-like experience, and Dr. Downie takes extra steps to ensure that even more aggressive treatment is comfortably tolerated. Patients get aftercare instructions to maximize the benefits of treatment.
