Chemical Peel

If you have developed an uneven skin tone, have several facial blemishes or are noticing small wrinkles and fine lines developing around the eyes and mouth, you may be a good candidate for a chemical peel. Medical-grade chemical peels are a simple and effective treatment for enhancing your appearance and achieving more youthful-looking skin. Dr. Zarrabi has been performing chemical peels at his exclusive Santa Monica plastic surgery center for several years, offering patients a non-surgical and effective way to combat the signs of aging.

There are several different types of chemical peels to choose from; the concentration and type of peel you need will depend on your skin tone, expected results and how much time you have available for healing. Chemical peels can help to keep acne under control, soften facial scars and can dramatically improve the skin tone and texture after just one treatment.

Chemical Peels by Dr. Zarrabi

You may have discovered chemical peel treatments offered at a local day spa, but Dr. Zarrabi’s peels are different because they involve a medical-grade solution that is customized for your specific skin type. Only a licensed physician can administer medical-grade peels because of the formula’s high concentration and potential side effects. Dr. Zarrabi has several years of experience in performing the chemical peel treatment for dozens of patients with different skin types and needs. He will design a customized treatment program for you so that you can look forward to significant results within a few short weeks.

How Chemical Peels Work

After Dr. Zarrabi has decided on the chemical peel that best suits your skin condition and skin type, he will prepare the skin by lightly buffing away the top layer to remove any dead skin cells. The chemical peel solution is then applied to the face and left to ‘sink’ into the skin for approximately 10-20 minutes. Most people experience a slight stinging and burning sensation as soon as the chemical peel is applied, but this typically disappears within a few minutes.

After a few days, the peel will begin working by cleansing and detoxifying the skin from inside out. The result will be significant flakiness, dryness and peeling as the toxins and dead skin cells are removed naturally. The skin will then begin to heal, resulting in a smoother, fresher look.

Dr. Zarrabi offers chemical peels and other anti aging procedures for patients interested in enhancing their looks and achieving a more youthful, aesthetically-pleasing appearance.
