Chemical Peels at Park Ave Derm
At Park Ave. Derm. we offer a wide range of brightening and skin refreshment treatments. One of our most sought after techniques are chemical peels. At Park Ave. Derm. we specifically utilize Gltyone’s professional peel systems to offer the most effective results and with minimal downtime.
How do they work?
Chemical peels are known as chemical exfoliants and work by gently removing the top layer of our outer most layer of skin, the stratum corneum. This “extra” ad unwanted layer of our skin is often times what contains the evidence of free radicals/oxidation, photo/sun/UV damage as well as debris and toxins from our environment. By using chemical exfoliants to remove this layer we can allow a healthier layer of your skin to take its place; revealing a brighter, smoother, and renewed surface.
More specifically, Glytone utilizes the patented Enerpeel technologies along with Precision Free Acid Value™(PFAV™). Precision Free Acid Value™ demonstrates the amount of bioavailable Glycolic Acid in a formula, delivering optimal levels to moisturize, exfoliate, smooth and polish skin. The benefits of PFAV™ include:
- Delivers more free Glycolic Acid to the skin to achieve a higher efficacy.
- Allows skin to have a customized system with varying strengths of AHA.
- Provides rapid, visible, and predictable results
What conditions do they work for?
Chemical peels can help target a variety of unique skin concerns, like acne, signs of aging, hyperpigmentation, sun spots and UV photo damage. Additionally, at Park Ave. Derm. we use chemical peels to target more detailed and patient specific concerns on the face, hands, back & chest, eyes, and neck. Each of these non-invasive procedures can help to support collagen production and resurface the skin to maintain optimal skin health. Other benefits include:
- Reduces appearance of dark spots such as sun spots and freckles.
- Improves appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, skin texture, and tone.
- Provides immediate skin brightening effect.
- Helps to treat acne and excessively oily skin.
- Helps to treat skin growths such as seborrheic keratosis and skin tags.
- Helps to treat inflammatory and cystic acne.
