Chemical Peels
Your journey toward healthier skin may take you along a trusted pathway of healing, restorative and remedial treatments performed under the medical supervision of Dr. Brent Koch, Des Moines' leading facial plastic surgeon.
Chemical peel involves the application of a chemical to the skin to remove the surface layers. The choice of chemical depends on the depth of the creases in the skin and the degree of improvement desired. Trichloracetic acid (TCA) has a moderate effect. Phenol in various concentrations has a stronger action, and can achieve a more dramatic and long-lasting result. Peeling techniques have been refined in recent years, allowing more precise control and improved results. Chemical peel is generally performed under local anesthesia in a surgical facility in the doctor's office.
Our medical spas offer various topical chemical peels, which are an effective method to treat acne, sun damage, fine lines and mild scarring. A series of peels combined with our microdermabrasion treatments are extremely beneficial in helping undo the undesirable effects of time and the environment on your skin and improve your overall skin texture. You will realize the greatest benefit through a series of three treatments. Your aesthetician will analyze your skin physiology and recommend a procedure that is right for you. These treatments are done in the spa, and you can return immediately to work and most regular activities.
