THE PERFECT PEEL A UNIQUE FORMULA THAT DEBUTS A NEW ERA OF SKIN REQUEST A CONSULT

THE PERFECT PEEL

This unique formula debuts a new era in skin health. Never before has a chemical peel offered results at this level to all ranges of skin types. The Perfect Peel founds itself on a key anti-aging ingredient never before used in a peel: glutathione. Glutathione is the ultimate antioxidant known to prevent damage to important cellular components caused by free radicals and peroxides. As we age, our glutathione levels are depleted due to sun exposure, air pollutants and environmental stress.

The Perfect Peel is the only peel that premieres glutathione as a founding component and is the only true anti-aging ingredient offered exclusively in our formula. The Perfect Peel works from the inside to repair and nourish the skin by giving it a radiant glow, refining pores, improving skin hyperpigmentations, lifting melasma, diminishing fine lines and wrinkles, eliminating acne and preventing acne marks. Most importantly, the glutathione element defies the aging process.

Glutathione penetrates deep into the cellular level of the skin to fight oxidant damage and is the anti-aging answer to premature wrinkling. Glutathione is proven to reverse the melanin’s metabolism turning dark pigmentations (eumelanin) into light pigmentation (phaeomelanin).

The Perfect Peel is considered a strong peel and is effective in delivering a vast improvement with just 1 treatment. The peel is not painful during application and entails a slight sting for the first 30-45 seconds. Patients will experience peeling throughout days 3-6 and will be completely finished with the peel process by day 7.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How does The Perfect Peel compare to other peels?

The Perfect Peel combines powerful ingredients with effective acids to deliver outstanding results after one treatment. This unique formula allows for an increase in lifting of fine lines and wrinkles as well as reducing dark patches from sun damage or melasma. The Perfect Peel is a non-invasive, virtually painless treatment with only 2-4 days of peeling. Peeling starts about 2 days after the treatement. Therefore, planning purposes, the peel should be done 10-14 days before your big event.

How many treatments are necessary for visible improvement?

After one treatment of The Perfect Peel, overall skin tone and complexion will appear smooth, glowing and fresh. Depending on skin conditions, multiple treatments may be necessary for desired results. A series of 2-3 treatments applied once every 4 weeks will allow for optimal results for more severe skin conditions such as melasma and active acne.

At Frederick Dermatology Associates, we can combine Omnilux light treatments to help reduce your active acne quicker. Also, as board-certified dermatologists, we can prescribe appropriate prescription medications if necessary. This is especially important for acne that is scarring. Once scars are created, they will never go away completely. So, being aggressive and preventing scarring is important.

How long will my results last?

As long as the skin is maintained with proper skin care products improved results will last. At Frederick Dermatology Associates, we have our own skin care expert on staff to help answer all of your questions about at-home products to supplement your in-office procedures. She is available at all times to educate our patients.

We recommend 2 – 4 Perfect Peel treatments per year to sustain desired results for regular maintenance and rejuvenation. If your looking for great results with no peeling, our HydraFacial is a great alternative.

What skin types respond well to The Perfect Peel?

All skin types (Fitzpatrick 1-6) and all ethnicities are safe to treat and will benefit from The Perfect Peel.

What type of preconditioning is required?

The Perfect Derma Peel requires no preconditioning of the skin prior to treatment. Only those patients who use Accutane must stop usage (12) months prior to treatment in order to achieve desired results.

Does The Perfect Peel burn?

The patient may feel a slight stinging or tingling sensation which will subside after 30-60 seconds. Numbing takes place once the first pass of The Perfect Peel solution is applied. A fan or cool breeze may be used for the comfort of the patient. On a pain scale from 1-10, most patients give it a 2-3.

How long will the application process take?

The Perfect Peel application only takes 15 minutes to administer.

How severe is the peeling and what is the duration of the peeling process?

The amount of peeling skin associated with The Perfect Peel is mainly a sloughing of thin sheets of the top layers of the skin (epidermis) that begins around day three and generally is completed by day six or seven.

What will I look like during The Perfect Peel treatment process and post peel?

Immediately after the peel has been applied the skin will appear slightly pink and bronzed. On day three, peeling will begin around the nose and then extends to cheeks and forehead. If the neck is peeled, this may not be as dramatic as the face’s peeling. This is normal. The neck skin or other non-facial areas usually don’t experience as much peeling skin. It doesn’t mean that the peel was ineffective. This skin also has to be treated more gently than facial skin to maintain safety. The Perfect Derma Moisturizer will reduce the visibility of peeling by hydrating. By day six or seven the peeling process should be mostly complete (especially for facial skin).

Will my daily routine be affected after the treatment?

Normal activities may be resumed immediately post peel. We recommend avoiding heavy exercise and excessive sweating during the peeling process. Also, it is extremely important not to pull or rub on peeling skin. If skin is prematurely or forcefully peeled, adverse side effects are higher.

Can make-up be worn post peel?

The day the peel is applied the patient should not put any make up or other products on his or her face post peel. Make-up may be worn on day 2 of the peeling process.

How many treatments are required?

The Perfect Peel may be applied initially every four weeks if necessary. Thereafter, we recommend once every 3 – 6 months to maintain improved skin results, as well as to prevent further aging and environmental damage.

Can The Perfect Peel be applied to other parts of the body other than the face?

The face, neck, chest and hands are the most commonly applied areas. The Perfect Peel can be applied to other areas of the body, but the process and the results will not necessarily be the same. It may take more treatments to achieve the same effectiveness as facial skin. Again, this is because there are less pilosebaceous units off the face, which make this skin more sensitive. We take this into consideration when determining your treatment plan. Safety and effectiveness are both extremely important at Frederick Dermatology.

Will The Perfect Peel help improve acne and acne scars?

The Perfect Peel formula was designed to help improve various problematic skin conditions, including acne. The Perfect Peel helps minimize the damage and scarring that can result from acne. Glutathione helps increase cellular turnover thus reducing stubborn acne scars. A series of peels is required.

How many treatments are necessary to improve the appearance of acne scars?

Depending on the severity of the scarring, a series of 3-4 peels spaced four weeks apart is recommended for optimal results. The number of treatments will also depend on how vigorously the layers are applied. At Frederick Dermatology Associates, we may combine fractionated technology with micro-needling or fractionated erbium or carbon dioxide lasers to improve effectiveness.

How will The Perfect Peel improve my skin?

The Perfect Peel will reduce or eliminate dark spots from sun damage and melasma. It will control acne and reduce acne scars. In addition, it will help erase fine lines and wrinkles, reduce enlarged pores and build collagen and elastin for a healthier, firmer complexion. The overall tone, texture and clarity of the skin will be improved.

Is sun exposure permitted post peel?

Sun exposure should be limited if not avoided before and during the peel process to avoid uneven exposure. When you expose your skin to the sun’s ultraviolet light rays before and after peels, you increase your risk of side effects from a peel, especially post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (paradoxical darkening from peel).

Can I receive the Perfect Peel if I am pregnant or nursing?

If you are pregnant, you cannot receive the perfect peel. If you are nursing, you may receive the peel, but you need to dump your breast milk for 24-48 hours after the procedure.
