Chemabrasion
The Chemabrasion includes a mini-microdermabrasion followed by a light salicylic or glycolic chemical peel and an oxygen treatment. This treatment helps minimize sun damage, brown spots/freckles, large pores, and acne scarring. A Chemabrasion is a little more aggressive than the microdermabrasion alone. Treatment areas include the following; face, neck, chest, back, elbows, and feet.
How do Chemabrasions work?
Chemabrasions start with a light Microdermabrasion using a stream of fine crystals, which are deliver across the skin's surface, removing the damaged skin cells to reveal fresh skin. This treatment is followed by a light chemical peel to help remove excess oils and impurities below the surface of the skin. Lastly, an Oxygen Treatment delivers oxygen to refresh and renew the new exposed skin cells.
Before Chemabrasion:
Before a Chemabrasion, the patient should avoid Dermal Fillers or Botox injections for 10-14 days before the treatment. Before receiving treatment, the patient should be off Retinol products or exfoliation products for 5-7 days. No tanning bed or sun for 7 days prior to the treatment.
Post Care for Chemabrasion:
There is no downtime for these treatments. The patient's skin may be a little pink for thirty minutes to one day. Makeup can be applied after treatment; however there should be no tanning through the natural sun or tanning bed for up to 72 hours.
