Deseret Aesthetics offers Medical Grade Chemical peels as quick and convenient ways to enhance appearance and get a healthy glow with little or no downtime.
Chemical Peels have been used for decades to revitalize and resurface skin. They involve applying a chemical solution to remove the damaged outer layers of skin and reveal a younger, clearer, more radiant complexion. Chemical peels, also known as "Lunchtime Peels" are traditionally performed on the face, hands, neck, back and shoulders, legs and other problem areas to treat fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, and skin discoloration.
Most Commonly Askes Questions
Q How much downtime is expected with a peel?
A.There is no downtime whatsoever with Physician’s Choice™
chemical peels. You can actually receive a peel on your lunch hour
and return to work.
Q.When will I start "peelings", for how long and how much?
A. Everyone’s experience will be different. However, on an average,
you will see flaking by day two or three following the treatment. It is
possible to see flaking for up to five or six days. With all Physician’s
Choice™ peels, only light to medium exfoliation will be experienced.
Q. How irritating is a peel?
A. PCA peels are only slightly irritating. You may experience mild
burning or stinging, which is transient.
Q. What peels can be used on someone who frequently works out?
A. Someone who frequently works out can have any peel but must
wait 48 hours after the treatment to exercise.
Q. My skin is very thin. Why would I want to peel? Wouldn’t that
make my skin thinner?
A. If your skin is dry and thin, often there is a buildup of dead cells
that actually keeps your home care products from penetrating.
Having an Ultra Peel™ treatment will remove the surface buildup,
hydrate the skin and give it a more plump, "thicker" appearance.
The use of Vitamin C products in the treatment, as well as in your
home care program, will help to build the collagen in your skin, thus
making it stronger and more durable.
Q. Can pregnant or lactating women receive a peel?
A. No
Q. What is the difference between PCA and glycolic peels?
A. Glycolic acid will dehydrate skin and make pores larger after
extended use. PCA uses lactic and citric acids which are skin-
friendly because they are natural constituents of your skin.
Physician’s Choice™ peels are unique because they are
moisturizing and hydrating and leave your skin fresh, soft and
supple, the way it wants to be!
