Chirally Correct Peels

Frequently Asked Questions
Price List

Looking Glass Plastic Surgery offers a variety of peels that cater to different skin care needs. There are different reasons why the skin may need a peel, but the primary goal of a peel is to stimulate new cell growth by exfoliating the skin, which helps with the reduction of fine lines, hyper pigmentation, and acne. Peels are a jump start into returning the skin into a healthy state.

The Blueberry Smoothie Peel (very superficial depth)

This peel is for peeling on demand, post micro dermabrasion or as a pre peel treatment. The antioxidants properties help minimize skin aging as the exfoliating beads and corn meal help to rid the skin of excess dead skin build up without the uneven tearing by other scrubbing ingredients. This peel is stimulating and hydrating with pure L-Lactic acid. It may be performed on pregnant women and without prior pre peel prep. Safe for pregnant and lactating women.

The Pomegranate Peel (superficial depth)

Using 15% alpha hydroxy acid and papain (an enzyme that comes from the papaya fruit) the pomegranate peel  can be used on all skin tones to treat hyperpigmenation and sundamage . No prep is neeeded for this treatment therefore one can recieve this treatment on demand. The pomegranate peel stimulates cell turnover, protein synthesis, inreases natural moisture in the skin and is a great exfoiliater by removing dead skin cells. Safe for pregnant and lactating women.

The Benefit Peel (superficial depth)

Using purified vitamin C powder and Retinol A this peel nourishes, exfoliates and stimulates to produce a radiant health glow. May be used for skin nourishment, post micro dermabrasion treatments and for patients with sensitive skin. Not safe for pregnant and lactating women.

The Purity Peel (superficial depth)

This synergistic blend of chirally corrected acids produces a moderate depth peel that is calming. The result is a soothing and exfoliating peel that is excellent for acne, large pores and oily skin. Not safe for pregnant and lactating women.

The Deep Sea Peel (superficial – medium depth)

This “non-acid” herbal peel uses a physical (massage) to stimulate a light medium depth peel. Patients can experience a light exfoliation to the medium depth peeling, depending on the length of the massage. Effective for hyper pigmentation, fine scarring and stimulates collagen production. Mild discomfort with a pin like feel to the skin may be experienced. Safe for pregnant and lactating women.

Timeless Peel (medium depth)

This “overnight” peel is safe but stimulates cell turnover resulting in smoother, younger skin. This peel works well for large pores, fine lines, scarring, sun-damage and hyper pigmentation. Not safe for pregnant or lactating women

The Blueberry Jessner Peel (superficial- medium depth)

This revolutionary peel uses chirally corrected L-Lactic acid that can be layered to produce an excellent sloughing peel. The blueberry extract is a powerful antioxidant. Great for acne clients, superficial hyper pigmentation and reducing fine lines. Not safe for pregnant and lactating women

The “L-TCA” Peel (medium-deep) (physician only)

This was created using medical strength acids that have been chirally purified to reduce discomfort and downtime. It penetrates deeply to create a medical grade exfoliation. Not safe for pregnant and lactating women.

Frequently Asked Questions about Chemical Peels

Q: How often should I get a peel?

A: The frequency of peels depends on the patient’s skin and the depth of the peel. Superficial peels can be done once a month, medium depth peel can be done every 2 to 3 months depending on the skin type and deep peels like the TCA should be done no more than one time a year.

Q: Why is sun exposure not good for the skin during a peel?

A: When the skin is peeling it is sloughing of the top layer of skin the stratum cornea therefore the skin underneath is sensitive and can easily hyper pigment (dark spots) from the sun. Melanin protects the skin from the sun’s ultraviolet rays therefore the sun’s ultraviolet rays stimulate melanocytes (cells that produce pigment) in the skin which creates hyper pigmentation. Major sun exposure during a peel or 2 weeks after a peel can result in hyper pigmentation.
