Perfect Derma Peel Seattle

Strategic and professional skincare is one of the keys to aging gracefully. Chemical peels are a medical-grade exfoliation treatment that sloughs off dead and damaged skin to address aging concerns, acne, sun damage, and other common skin concerns. The procedure is frequently performed by master estheticians who have a combination of aesthetic and medical training. Allure Esthetic Plastic Surgery performs the best perfect derma peel in Seattle.

The perfect derma peel is a medium-depth chemical peel applied in the office and washed off by the patient the next day. An aftercare kit comes with the treatment and is applied for seven days post-treatment to supplement the peel further. The aftercare kit includes a hydrocortisone moisturizer to address itchiness and prevent overly dry skin, peel-intensifying towelettes which help remove the peel while maintaining its effects, and an SPF to protect the skin post-peel.

What It Can Treat

The perfect derma peel is a versatile chemical peel that can address many skin concerns.

• Acne
• Oily skin
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Sun damage
• Hyperpigmentation
• Rough texture
• Uneven skin tone
• Melasma
• Dull skin
• Pore size

The perfect derma peel is safe for all skin types and tones.

Using a blend of acids and antioxidants, the perfect derma peel’s formula is strong enough to address a variety of issues, but gentle enough to be low risk for darker skin tones. The perfect derma peel does include skin-brightening properties that inhibit melanin production, but this is to address areas of overproduction causing dark spots on the skin and should not interfere with the patient’s natural skin tone.

Some of the key ingredients of the perfect dermal peel include:

• Retinol: A commonly used skincare ingredient that is a derivative of Vitamin A and offers anti-aging properties.
• TCA: An exfoliant that helps remove dead skin cells and stimulate cell turnover.
• Salicylic Acid: An acid that helps neutralize and reduce acne-causing bacteria.
• Phenol: A powerful exfoliant that also acts as a numbing agent.
• Kojic Acid: An acid that helps even and brighten the skin tone.
• Glutathione: An antioxidant that contributes to skin brightening.
• Vitamin C: An antioxidant that stimulates collagen production.

The base formula for the perfect derma peel is the same for every patient. However, there are options to customize the peel with boosters. Not every patient is a good candidate for boosters and they may not be appropriate every time a patient undergoes the peel. Unlike the peel itself, the boosters may not be viable for all skin types and tones. Discuss whether or not your skin is suitable for a booster treatment. The boosters include:

• Skin Brightening Booster: This option contains four percent hydroquinone to decrease unwanted pigmentation. The skin brightening booster may be appropriate for patients with melasma or extensive sun damage.
• Acne Fighting Booster: This booster uses ingredients such as benzoyl peroxide and additional salicylic acid to address acne and the bacteria that cause it. Chronic acne sufferers may benefit from this booster.

Patients of all skin types and tones can benefit from a perfect derma peel. Due to the unique formula that includes glutathione, the peel can even be performed on sensitive skin. With that said people with oily skin types may see more dramatic results from the peel.

The perfect derma peel is designed to deliver the results of a medium-depth peel without the major side effects. Patients often see near immediate results and the perfect derma peel may help improve conditions such as acne or melasma. Other comparable peels are often not suitable for all skin tones and may come with uncomfortable side effects that last significantly longer than the perfect derma peel.

Consultation

Patients will first meet with a master esthetician at Allure Esthetic Plastic Surgery to determine their candidacy for the treatment. The peel—depending on what the patient hopes to achieve and the current state of their skin—may better benefit from another treatment. The master esthetician will review the patient’s medical history, current skin, and lifestyle.

Some of the most important considerations include:

• Prescription acne medication taken within the past year
• Current skin infection in the treatment area
• Major immuno-suppression
• The patient’s daily sun exposure
• Daily skin routine

Chemical Peel

The application of the perfect derma peel in Seattle generally takes around ten to fifteen minutes. First, the master esthetician will de-grease the patient’s face to ensure it is totally clean of product and free radicals. They will then apply the peel to the skin. Patients may feel a momentary stinging sensation, but this should resolve within minutes.

The peel will remain on the patient’s skin for about 24 hours. It makes the skin look tanned but is not overly noticeable. The patient will leave the office with the aftercare kit.

Aftercare Protocol

The next day patients use a gentle cleanser to remove the peel. Usually, a towelette is used to ensure full removal of the peel. The instructional booklet that comes with the aftercare kit will then provide patients with instructions on how and when to use the rest of the kit for the remaining seven days.

What Is A Medium Depth Chemical Peel?

Chemical peels come in three different depths: light, medium, and deep. Light and medium-depth peels are the most commonly performed. Medium peels are generally medical-grade and may not be right for everyone. They will also cause more peeling than light peels which may not cause any significant skin peeling.

How Much Skin Peeling Should I Expect?

The perfect derma peel generally causes a mild to moderate amount of skin peeling over three to five days. This will vary based on the patient and if they have had the peel before.

Can You See Results After One Peel?

Yes, patients may see results following one perfect dermal peel. However, subsequent peels will help maintain and further improve results.

What Are The Side Effects Of A Perfect Derma Peel?

Other than skin peeling, patients may experience minor side effects such as skin redness, swelling, and irritation. The aftercare kit helps control these side effects.

Does the Perfect Derma Peel Hurt?

Most patients remain perfectly comfortable during the application of their perfect derma peel. A small stinging sensation may be felt initially, but it should subside quickly because the phenol acts as a numbing agent. A handheld fan is also used to help improve the patient’s comfort.

What is the Perfect Derma Peel Downtime?

There is no significant downtime following the perfect derma peel beyond a few small tweaks to the patient’s everyday routine. Patients will need to refrain from heavy exercise for at least one day. They will also skip their nightly skincare routine the day of the peel but can continue it the next day. Certain products such as retinol may need to be discontinued for a few weeks, but this will vary.

How Often Should I Get the Perfect Derma Peel?

Patients can safely undergo the perfect derma peel every six weeks—though some people with sensitive skin may want to wait additional weeks—but after the initial round of peels, patients generally undergo two to three perfect derma peels per year to maintain their results.

Combining Perfect Derma Peel with Botox Injections?

The perfect derma peel is the ideal complement to Botox injections. It is important to note that the two treatments cannot be done back to back and should be performed at least two weeks apart. An exception to this is if the Botox is performed in an area not treated with the peel or vice versa. As anti-aging treatments that address two different anatomical structures, patients can often see amazing results from combining chemical peels and Botox.
