Exfoliation & Peels

Believe it or not, but a younger, healthier-looking you is just beneath your dull, wrinkled complexion. With exfoliating skin treatments, we can help you reveal smooth skin and look your very best.

Your Cosmetic Options

Microdermabrasion:

Using a jet of natural mineral crystals, microdermabrasion brushes away dull surface skin cells to brighten skin complexion and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. This high precision technique provides good results while causing little trauma to your living cells, resulting in a quick recovery. At our Columbus medical spa, microdermabrasion is performed by an aesthetician who carefully regulates treatment speed for custom rejuvenation. A series of microdermabrasion treatments along with chemical peels are often recommended for optimal results.

Dermaplaning:

Dermaplaning is an exfoliation treatment that uses a very sharp blade to remove dead skin and fine hair. This can help break up skin discoloration, soften surface irregularities, and tighten pores to give your skin a smoother, brighter appearance. This technique takes about 30 minutes and is performed by an experienced aesthetician.

Chemical Peels:

An ideal treatment to rejuvenate your skin, restore radiance, and promote a youthful appearance, chemical peels can remove evidence of imperfections due to sun damage, uneven pigmentation, and fine wrinkles. The results gained by a chemical peel will depend on the type and frequency of the peel and your skin type.

Patients with acne can sometimes benefit from peels by providing improved control and addressing stubborn blackheads. In addition, acne scars can be softened. Most importantly, a series of properly scheduled chemical peel treatments can help prevent signs of aging.

Chemical peels contain different ingredients and come in a variety of strengths. Milder chemical peels contain alpha hydroxy acids (AHA) like glycolic, lactic or fruit acids. For deeper peeling action, we also offer trichloracetic acid (TCA) peels. Deeper peels may require an extensive evaluation by one of our surgeons.

We also offer the Obagi® Blue Peel, a chemically superior peel that achieves optimum skin resurfacing. It targets stubborn pigmentation and aging skin through a combination of at-home skin preparation and an in-office treatment. Our patients are often amazed by the results they are able to achieve through the Obagi system.
