About chemical peels

Chemical peels in Manhattan and Brooklyn are an amazing option for people who are looking for a simple and effective way to maintain a youthful appearance and to get smoother, more radiant skin. Our chemical peel treatments at our Brooklyn medi-spa are ideal for skin rejuvenation, improving texture, treating sun damage, or for basic maintenance and aging prevention. They are inexpensive, quick, and most don’t require downtime (except for the high-grade ones). Your skin care regimen is important for chemical peel aftercare. Don’t forget to ask us about our recommended skin care regimens.

Superficial chemical peels

AHA (alpha hydroxy acids)

Glycolic acid (from sugar cane) and lactic acid (from fermented milk) are most common. These peels should be done regularly for glowing, healthy skin
Lactic acid improves skin hydration and brightness; is great for dry skin
Glycolic acid helps to treat fine lines and mild skin irregularities

BHA (beta hydroxy acids)

A salicylic acid peel works wonders for oily, acne-prone skin. It’s lipid-based, which means it loves oil and can penetrate skin that is oilier. It is also anti-inflammatory and helps to control oil production, which reduces the formation of acne.

Jessner’s Peels

Perfect combo of lactic acid, salicylic acid, and resorcinol (helps peels penetrate better)
Other acids can be added to the peel to help brighten the skin and treat various skin conditions such as rosacea
Adding a retinoic acid layer on top helps with skin heling and enhances the effect

What to expect during a chemical peel

The first step during a chemical peel in Manhattan is for us to cleanse your skin of anything like makeup, moisturizer, or lotion so that the peel can work at its highest efficiency. The level of peel and ingredients that have been pre-selected for your needs will be applied directly to your skin.

Every chemical peel and patient are different, so the level of discomfort you may experience will depend on the specific factors of your treatment. During your consultation, after the type of peel has been determined for you, we can better explain the level of discomfort, if any, you may feel. Dr. Giyaur may recommend a combination treatment with a medium-grade peel and a dermal filler (done on different days) or Botox treatment to get the best possible result.

Deep chemical peels (phenol peels)

Dr. Giyaur loves to use this peel after lower eyelid blepharoplasty to tighten the redundant skin and fine lines after the eyebags have been removed. Typically, the skin needs to be prepared for a deep peel by having milder peels done for several months prior. This technique helps to achieve the best results.

A deep, high-grade peel
Very powerful and effective, but requires considerable downtime
Used for aging and aged skin to help achieve dramatic rejuvenation
Tightens, brightens skin, and reduces lines and wrinkles
Peeling may last over a week
Normally done only once; no repeat treatments needed
Administered by Dr. Giyaur

Medium to medium-deep chemical peels

Trichloroacetic acid peels (TCA) vary in strength, but in general are considered strong. They are administered by Dr. Giyaur. TCA is amazing for significant pigment issues, skin irregularities, fine lines, sun damage, and acne scars. Milder concentration is sometimes used to reduce downtime, but more than one treatment might be needed to achieve the desired results.
