What's the Deal with Chemical Peels?

We all want younger, smoother looking skin, and it used to be so hard to achieve, until now. Now, this treatment may sound way scarier than it is, but a chemical peel is not as bad as it sounds. It is a vital part of skin treatment, helping to reduce skin discoloration, fade scars, treat wrinkles, and even more. The biggest questions now are what a chemical peel is, and how do you include this in your skin care routine. Well, let us talk about the basics.

A chemical peel is a skin-resurfacing procedure where a qualified esthetician applies a chemical solution to someone's skin to remove the top layers. The skin that ends up growing back will be smoother, younger, and overall healthier. There are three different types of peels available, all with a different mission. The three most common types of peels are based on depths, light, medium, and deep which all use different chemicals that will give you a different outcome.

A light chemical peel (the superficial chemical peel) removes the outermost layer of skin and is often used to treat fine lines, wrinkles, acne, uneven skin tones, and dryness. These types of peels can be done safely, every 2-5 weeks.

A medium chemical peel removes skin cells like the light version, but also takes it a step further by peeling from portions of the upper part of your middle layer of skin. This type of peel is only recommended every 3-9 months because of its intensity.

And lastly, we have the deep chemical peel. This type of peel is the most extreme. The deep peel will remove skin cells from all 3 layers of your skin. Doctors only suggest this when a patient has precancerous growths, scars, or deep-set wrinkles. This peel should only ever be done once on the skin.

At Fairlawn Aesthetic MD we have 2 licensed estheticians that will gladly consult with you to see if a chemical peel is right for you.

Intense Pulse Light Skin Rejuvenation

Intense Pulse Light Laser Treatment is available at Fairlawn Aesthetic MD in Ohio Drugstore acne treatments and anti-aging topical lotions can only do so much for your skin. The problem is that most of these solutions are only meant to treat the surface of your skin; Few dive deeper into the second layer of skin. You might take a chance, considering the accessibility and affordability of these products, but the continued purchase of treatments that just don't work will rack up in your bank account and only leave you disappointed.

Deciding Between CoolSculpting and Cryo T Shock?

You've been eating right, exercising, but you still have that stubborn fat hanging around your stomach area. Or maybe you have a double chin that just will not go away! There are some cryotherapy methods out there that have been proven to reduce the amount of fat and cellulite in your body. There is CoolSculpting ® and Cryo T-Shock, but which one is right for you? Which one is better? The CoolSculpting ® procedure is FDA-cleared for the treatment of visible fat bulges under the chin and under the jawline, thigh, abdomen and flank, along with bra fat, back fat, underneath the buttocks and upper arm. It is also FDA-cleared to affect the appearance of lax tissue with submental (under the chin) area treatments. For most areas, the process takes about 35 minutes. After the deep-freeze damage to the fat cells, they will eventually die and be eliminated by the body — a process which takes time, about 1-3 months or more, resulting in up to 20%-25% reduction of fat in a treated are...
