NYC Facial Chemical Peels | Manhattan Anti-Aging Skin Care

Professional Anti-Aging Skin Care

Your facial skin is one of the first places that show signs of premature aging, whether caused by years in the sun, smoking, Father Time or simple genetics. Even those who diligently apply sunscreen every day and maintain a great skin care regimen can suffer from uneven, blotchy skin, redness, enlarged pores, fine wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation. The good news is that any of these common skin care issues can be helped with daily application of professional skin care products and the latest in chemical peels.

Dr. B. Aviva Preminger is a respected and highly skilled Manhattan cosmetic surgeon who offers medical grade skin care products and facial rejuvenation treatments in her Park Avenue office. Skin conditions like sun damage, rosacea, poor texture, adult acne and age spots can also be treated with the latest in anti-aging “cosmeceuticals” which are formulated with ingredients that deliver impressive results.

Skin Rejuvenation with Chemical Peels

Simply put, chemical peels are one of the most effective ways to rejuvenate your skin and depending on the type of peel you get, can help:

Even out skin tone
Correct sun damage
Improve the appearance of fine lines
Reduce the appearance of scars
Address irregular skin pigmentation
Lighten age spots and freckles
Reduce pore size
Diminish acne scars

It is equally important to note that chemical peels, though exemplary in their ability to restore and rejuvenate the skin, cannot fix all issues such as:

Extremely saggy or drooping skin
Deep facial wrinkles and lines
Extra large pores
Deep scars
Broken capillaries

How Chemical Peels Work

Among the arsenal of anti-aging skin treatments available today, chemical peels have been the go-to procedure for those seeking softer, tighter and more luminous skin. A chemical peel, once applied to the damaged outer layers of the face and/or neck, works to exfoliate the skin, which slowly peels off. Once the outer layers of dead skin have peeled away, patients find the texture and tone of their new skin is markedly improved.

Concentrated acid solutions in chemical peels are the key to exfoliation, which reveals softer, smoother skin underneath. Dr. Preminger offers glycolic acid, alpha hydroxyl acids (AHA) and THA peels in varying strengths that promise a healthy glow, with clear pores and fewer blackheads. Your particular skin type, degree of sun damage and aesthetic goals will ultimately help Dr. Preminger determine which percentage and type of peel is right for you.

Various Facial Peel Options Available in New York CIty

Whether you opt for a light “lunchtime” lactic acid peel, a medium peel with higher percentages of glycolic or trichloroacetic acid, or a deep peel (that requires local anesthesia) – you will notice a dramatic improvement in your skin’s appearance.

And if you suffer from persistent redness or particularly reactive skin, Dr. Preminger may recommend a Glytone Enerpeel MA, which contains mandelic acid. This peel, like all Glytone skin care products, has been extensively tested and formulated to minimize adverse side effects.

Most of the lighter to medium peels have little to no downtime, while deeper peels can leave the face red and crusted for up to one month.

With any type of peel, one of the best way to ensure fast recovery is to follow Dr. Preminger’s post-peel instructions. Daily skin cleansing, sun avoidance and proper moisturizing are essential for optimum results.

Possible side effects and complications associated with chemical peels include:

Prolonged erythema (redness)
Swelling
Pigment changes
Scarring
Allergic reaction
