Resurfacing Treatment (Chemical Peel) I agree that all of the information provided by me is true and correct to the best of my knowledge. I understand that some skin conditions may require more than one treatment, in addition to home care products to receive the desired results. Results can not be guaranteed due to individual skin types and conditions. What is a Chemical Peel? A chemical peel is a technique used in aesthetics/skincare to improve the appearance of the skin on the face, neck or hands. A chemical solution is applied to the skin that causes the skin to suddenly exfoliate or shed, and eventually peel off. The new, regenerated skin is usually smoother, more even in color and less wrinkled than the old skin. Depending on the age, health, and current skin condition, a series of 3-6 peels at different depths is usually required to see any significant change/improvement. This series of peels is usually done over a 12 month period. The new skin is also temporarily more sensitive to the sun. There are three basic types of chemical peels with different concentrations, and/or combinations: Superficial or lunchtime peel: Alpha-Beta hydroxy acid (Glycolic,Lactic, Mandelic, Malic, Salicylic, Resorcinol), fruit enzymes or another mild acid is used to penetrate only the outer layer of skin to gently exfoliate it. The treatment is used to improve the appearance of mild skin discoloration and rough skin as well as to refresh the face, neck, chest or hands. Medium peel:Glycolic or Trichloroacetic acid is applied to penetrate the out and middle layers of skin to remove damaged skin cells. The treatment is used to improve age spots, fine lines and wrinkles, freckles and moderate skin discoloration. It also can be used to smooth rough skin and treat some precancerous skin growths, i.e. actinic keratosis. Requires Physician Approval Deep peel: Trichloroacetic acid or phenol is applied to deeply penetrate the middle layer of skin to remove damaged skin cells. The treatment removes moderate lines, age spots, freckles and shallow scars. Patients will see a dramatic improvement in skin appearance. The procedure is used on the face and only can be performed once. Requires Physician Approval Am I a good candidate to receive a chemical peel? You may NOT receive this treatment if you have any of the following conditions: •Are pregnant or breastfeeding •Are allergic to Salicylates (i.e. aspirin) or any ingredient in this peel •Have open wounds, sunburn, infected, irritated or extremely sensitive skin •Have active cold sores, warts, or herpes simplex •Have used Accutane within 180 days •Had a peel within the past 30 days •Have used products containing Retinoic acids, AHA & BHA in the last 7 days. Doing so may cause a strong reaction •The skin has not recovered from a recent cosmetic procedure or treatment including but not limited to waxing, Botox, Cosmetic filler, microdermabrasion, Laser, IP, Photo Facial, etc. •Have Recent history of chemotherapy or radiation therapy •Have dermatitis and inflammatory rosacea •Darker skin tones may be required to purchase and use a melanin suppressant for 2 weeks prior to receiving treatment in order to reduce any undesired effects. •Have an important meeting, event, vacation, public appearance, personal or work travel scheduled within 30 days of your treatment in which you fully understand your skin may not be completely healed. I agree that I DO NOT have any of the conditions listed above?
Treatment Expectations: •I acknowledge that no guarantee has been made or implied as to the results of the peels procedure. •It is common and expected that your skin will be possibly red, itchy, dry, irritated, and discolored for several days or more. •It is common and expected that the peel will not penetrate evenly across your skin, and the deeper “hot spots” may develop scabbing, crusting, or blisters that may last for several or more days until that skin can heal. •It is common and expected to have some degree of peeling/flaking of the skin for several or more days. We can not predict the amount of peeling/flaking or how long it will last. Lack of visible peeling is NOT an indication that the peel is unsuccessful, you are still receiving the benefits of the peel. There are a number of reasons, including but not limited to using Retinoic Acid on a regular basis, severe sun damage or thick skin may need several peels to achieve desired results. •Although rare, some patients may experience tiny pinpoint acne breakouts (purging), crusting, tightness, dryness, rash, swelling or a burning sensation, or minimal peeling. Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (dark spots) or Hypopigmentation (light spots) may appear and last several days to weeks, or not correct at all. •Call our office immediately if you have any serious unexpected problem after the procedure. I fully understand and agree to the Treatment Expectations described above.
Post Care: •I understand that it is critical to strictly follow and use the post care products and instructions provided to me to reduce/avoid any potential complications . •I understand that it is critical not to pick at the skin, avoid intentional sun exposure and use any type of manual or chemical exfoliants in order to speed up the healing process. Doing so may cause permanent pigmentation and scarring. •I understand that I must wear a minimum of SPF 40 Broad-Spectrum Mineral Sunscreen on the treated area immediately following my treatment for a minimum of 30 days. •I understand that the actual degree of skin improvement cannot be guaranteed. Although most people see some degree of improvement, some may have minimal to no improvement. The peeling result varies and depends on each patient's skin condition. 2-3 treatments may be necessary to obtain desired results (depending on the severity of the skin condition) and post-care products must be used in order to achieve optimal results •I understand that this peel contains strong acids including Glycolic, Lactic, TCA, Phenol, Salicylic Acid and Retinoic Acid. I waive any rights, present or future, to request the information of exact composition or concentration. .•Call our office immediately if you have any serious unexpected problem after the procedure.
