Chemical Peel in Dallas, TX

Using the highest quality in chemical peel facial treatments, Setty Plastics & Aesthetics provides patients with several choices for a customized facial treatment with chemical solutions (such as salicylic, glycolic, trichloroacetic and lactic acids) that give you smoother, healthier skin. At our Dallas, TX office, plastic surgeon Dr. Naveen Setty offers chemical peel treatments that resolve skin abnormalities like scars, wrinkles, fine lines, rough patches, hyperpigmentation problems, and more. Chemical peels work by removing dead, damaged skin cells with the application of a customized peel on the skin that causes the top layer to slough off. When your skin recovers and starts to repair and rejuvenate itself, you may see a smoother, clearer complexion. A chemical peel facial is a nonsurgical way to make your complexion radiant and is appropriate for the neck and face.

In our Dallas, TX office, we perform chemical peels in different levels of strength (light, medium, and deep) to meet our patients' skin needs.

Light peels
You can receive a light peel during your lunchtime and return back to your routine. This level of peel will remove the outer skin layer (the epidermis), giving your face a more radiant appearance and smoother texture. We usually recommend that you receive a light chemical peel about once a month for the ideal glowing results.

Medium-depth peels
This level of peel reaches further into the skin, and patients generally decide to have this strength of facial treatment during an extended weekend. You may also need to ready yourself for increased discomfort during and up to one hour following the peel. Medium-depth peels are designed for patients who have mild to moderate damage to their skin including deeper lines and darker pigmentation problems.

Deep peels
The strongest of the three levels of peels is the deep chemical peel, and it does require the lengthiest recovery time. This is an aggressive procedure that can leave your face swollen, itchy, and peel for 2 – 3 weeks. Patients who get a deep chemical peel usually have age or dark spots, sun damage, prominent acne scars, and extensive scars from trauma or surgery. Since this level of chemical peel is usually uncomfortable for patients, your aesthetician can provide you with local anesthesia before your peel.

Getting the recommendations of a cosmetic specialist is the first part of the journey to healthy, smooth skin. A team member at Setty Plastics & Aesthetics will evaluate your skin during an exam in our McKinney, or Dallas, TX offices before selecting a chemical peel for best results. Chemical peel patients, both women and men, should have visible concerns on their skin including acne scars, rough patches, flaky skin, discoloration, sun spots, fine lines, and more. We may recommend varying strengths of peels to match your needs.

During your appointment at Setty Plastics & Aesthetics, we will have you lying in a comfortable position to administer your treatment. A team member will ensure the skin is cleaned prior to applying the personalized solution to the face, neck, or both. We will spread the solution onto the skin and allow it to work for an appropriate length of time that will be determined in your chemical peel consultation. Next, we will clean the peel off your skin and put on a neutralizing agent. Patients should bring sunscreen and/or a hat to wear outside following the peel to protect against UV exposure.

Based on the strength of the chemical peel you receive, you should expect the treated area to peel and itch from several days to two or more weeks. Dr. Setty or a member of his team will explain ways to treat your face during your procedure. Please remember that no matter how badly your skin itches throughout the recovery, it's not good to peel the skin off. You may scar your skin!

If you have never had facial rejuvenation treatments, Setty Plastics & Aesthetics can help you determine the best option for your needs. Your freshly revived skin will respond by looking bright and touchably smooth.
