Chemical Peel in Wareham, MA

Nadomi Medspa offers varying strengths of chemical peels to help you achieve high quality, enhanced results. Your professional chemical peel with exfoliating solutions (such as salicylic, glycolic, trichloroacetic, and lactic acids) will reveal more radiant skin. At our Wareham, MA office, our highly skilled team, lead by board-certified physician Dr. Nada Zaknoun, performs chemical peel treatments that minimize skin flaws, including wrinkles, scars, fine lines, uneven patches, hyperpigmentation problems, and more. Chemical peels dissolve dead or damaged skin cells with a special solution on the skin that causes the visible layer to rejuvenate. When your skin recovers and starts to repair itself, you should notice a smoother, clearer complexion. A chemical peel is a nonsurgical option to make your complexion bright and may be used for the face, neck, and décollatage.

In our Wareham, MA office, we provide chemical peels in several levels (light, medium, and deep) to fit our patients' skin needs and goals.

Light peels: You can receive a light peel on your lunch break and return to your daily routine. This strength of peel will remove the outer layer of skin (the epidermis), giving your complexion a more radiant appearance and smoother texture. We usually recommend that you receive a light treatment around once a month for the ideal glowing results.

Medium-depth peels: This strength of peel penetrates further into the skin, and patients generally decide to have this level of facial treatment during an extended weekend. You may also prefer to ready yourself for increased discomfort during and around one hour following the chemical peel. Medium-depth peels are best for patients who have deeper damage to their skin, such as deeper lines and darker pigmentation problems.

Deep peels: The strongest of the three levels of peels is the deep peel treatment and it does require the most recovery time. This is an aggressive cosmetic treatment that could leave your face itchy, swollen, and peeling for several weeks. Patients who receive a deep chemical peel may have age or dark spots, sun damage, significant acne scars, or deep scars. Since this strength of chemical peel is typically uncomfortable for patients, your aesthetician will provide you with mild anesthesia prior to your procedure.

Depending on the intensity of your chemical peel, you could see a variety of the following advantages from your procedure at Nadomi Medspa:

• Moisturized, renewed skin texture
• Decrease in dynamic lines and aging marks
• Evened and calmed complexion
• Reduction of visible pores and other skin imperfections

Receiving the suggestions of an aesthetic specialist is the first step in the journey to healthier skin. A team member at Nadomi Medspa will evaluate your skin during a consultation in our Wareham, MA office before selecting a chemical peel for ideal results. Chemical peel patients of both genders typically have visible problems in their skin, like scars, flaky skin, hyperpigmentation, wrinkles, fine lines, sun spots, and more. We will recommend multiple types of peels to fit your needs and goals.

At your appointment at Nadomi Medspa, 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 treatment areas. We will massage 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. Finally, we will clean the peel off your skin and put on a neutralizing agent. Patients are encouraged to bring sunscreen or a hat to wear outside following the procedure to protect from environmental exposure.

Based on the level of the chemical peel you choose, you should expect the face to peel and itch from several days to two or more weeks. A member of our team will discuss methods to treat your face during your consultation. Please remember that no matter how badly your skin itches throughout the post-treatment process, it is not helpful to pick the skin off. You may create scarring to your delicate skin!

How much does a chemical peel cost?
Our team can talk about your costs during your consultation after she has created your chemical peel treatment plan. Costs for a chemical peel will vary, depending on the level you get. Nadomi Medspa takes several payment methods and you can ask about current specials on facial treatments, like chemical peels. Buying a package with several chemical peel treatments can also help you save money.

What level should I choose for my chemical peel?
Which level of chemical peel is best for you will vary based on your specific skin needs and aesthetic goals. In your initial consultation you we will select which formula is best for your skin. A few things you might consider are your general health, the type of skin you have, the depth of your skin concerns, the amount of time you can commit to recovery, and what you want the peel to accomplish. For first time patients, it may be better to start with a light chemical peel and decide what you think of the results. 

Should I get a chemical peel or dermabrasion treatment?
Dermabrasion and chemical peels are both facial treatments that correct surface imperfections to help give your skin a rejuvenated appearance. The major difference is that dermabrasion requires special tools (a shaving instrument or rotating brush) to clear away the surface skin layer with a careful exfoliating process. A chemical peel applies a caustic solution to your skin to dissolve dead and damaged skin cells. In your initial consultation, we will discuss the pros and cons of each treatment and help you choose if dermabrasion or a chemical peel is better to achieve your skin goals.

Will my face hurt after a chemical peel?
Based on the formula selected, you might feel mild discomfort when it is on your skin. If you receive a light peel, you will probably notice a little discomfort; however, this can be alleviated with a small fan. Deep or medium peels are better for deeper blemishes and offer results that last a long time; however, they typically cause greater discomfort and require an extended healing period. Numbing cream, medications, and ointments may be used to help you feel more comfortable during your chemical peel. 

Can I combine a chemical peel with other treatments?
For even greater improvements to your skin, you may combine a chemical peel with another skin treatment at Nadomi Medspa. In your initial consultation, be open with our team when describing your skin goals so she can develop a personalized treatment plan to best address your goals. Your plan might include an injectable treatment for wrinkles (such as Juvéderm or BOTOX), plus a chemical peel to refresh your entire face.

If you know nothing about rejuvenating treatments, Nadomi Medspa can help you choose the ideal procedure for your goals. Your freshly renewed skin will respond by looking healthy and touchably silky.
