Microdermabrasion & Chemical Peels at Premier Plastic Surgery

Microdermabrasion, superficial chemical peels, and facials are quick, economical, no-downtime procedures that renew your skin. They remove dead skin cells and stimulate the growth of new cells. At Premier Plastic Surgery in Pittsburgh, we offer two enhanced forms of microdermabrasion: the Diamond Tone and Power Peel systems.

A chemical peel is the application of a chemical substance such as glycolic acid (AHA) or salicylic acid (BHA) that gently exfoliates the surface. A series of peel treatments improves the appearance of superficial lines and uneven pigmentation while making your skin look softer, smoother, and more radiant. The treatments also open pores and are a great option for acne treatment in Pittsburgh.

BioRePeelCl3 BLUE

Reinvent yourself with the innovative BioRePeelCI3 BLUE. This rejuvenating and exfoliating chemical peel can help you shed dull, blemished skin and restore a vital glow to the complexion. It is engineered specifically to target imperfections in the face, neck, and décolleté via a proprietary two-phase treatment process.

While your everyday skincare routine may be state-of-the-art, sometimes it is necessary to undergo a medically supervised aesthetic treatment to reclaim the clear, radiant complexion you desire. The BioRePeelCI3 BLUE peel helps combat the daily onslaught of environmental damage as well as years of repetitive facial expressions that leave behind fine lines and wrinkles. Gentle yet highly effective, BioRePeelCI3 BLUE is quickly becoming a staple in Dr. Heil’s skincare arsenal.

How Do I Know If I Need A Chemical Peel Or Microdermabrasion?

If you want to economically achieve healthy skin, you may consider microdermabrasion, chemical peels, and facials. These procedures are specifically effective against sunspots, sun damage, enlarged pores, and acne scars, and work well on skin that is dry, aged, or oily. All our procedures are suitable for all skin types, including tanned skin and skin of color.

Women who are pregnant should not receive a medical facial. Pregnant women may have chemical peels that contain only glycolic acid. An evaluation by our aestheticians can help determine which treatment is right for you.

What Concerns Can Be Addressed With BioRePeelCI3 BLUE?

BioRePeelCI3 BLUE is an excellent choice for patients seeking dramatic improvements in their complexions without having to contend with the lengthy downtime of other peels. It can address the following cosmetic concerns:

Wrinkles and lines
Enlarged pores
Blackheads
Skin inelasticity
Acne and acne scarring
Stretch marks
Discoloration

What Benefits Can I Expect From These Treatments?

After a series of treatments, you can expect improvement in overall appearance as well as in sunspots, sun damage, enlarged pores, acne scars, and dryness. Your skin will also look less aged and oily. We recommend three sessions two weeks apart and maintenance treatments every 4 to 12 weeks. You will notice improvement after each treatment.

What Are The Risks And Side Effects Of Skin Rejuvenation?

Tell our providers if you have diabetes, autoimmune disease, history of cold sores, or filler injected into the area to be treated. Also, let us know about your skincare regimen and if it includes Retin A (tretinoin).

Downtime, flaking, peeling, and redness are minimal with these treatments. Slight redness, skin sensitivity, and skin tightness usually persist no longer than a day. Flaking and irritation may occasionally remain for up to five days. Your skin will feel smoother and softer, and you may feel slight stinging, burning, or itching during this time.

Prior to treatment, all potential risks and side effects will be discussed with our aesthetician. Consultations are available to determine which of these treatments or combination of treatments are appropriate for your skincare goals.

What Can I Expect After Skin Rejuvenation?

There is no specific post treatment care for microdermabrasion or facials. Your skin may be slightly red, or it may peel for one to two days and rarely five days after chemical peel treatment. Skin may also feel tighter and smoother with a little sting or itch. During this time, you can care for your skin with a mild non-abrasive cleanser. We strongly recommend regular use of sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) with zinc oxide as an active ingredient and avoiding prolonged sun exposure.

Are There Other Ways To Get The Same Result?

Yes, our office offers many other treatments to rejuvenate the skin. IPL/photo facials, Laser Genesis, MicroLaser Peels, and topical, medical-grade skin care products are alternatives. Laser treatments will produce better results but can be more expensive and have more potential side effects. Microdermabrasion, chemical peels and medical facials are wonderful maintenance treatments and skin polishers.

Can Skin Rejuvenation Be Combined With Other Treatments?

Absolutely. Microdermabrasion, chemical peels, and facials can each be combined with other treatments. During your initial consultation, your provider will help craft a custom treatment plan to ensure you reach your cosmetic goals.

What Are The Costs Of Medical Facials, Chemical Peels, And Microdermabrasion?

Treatments are available alone or in packages at a reduced fee. To learn more, please call Premier Plastic Surgery in Pittsburgh or Wexford at 724-264-3608.
