Chemabrasion
The Chemabrasion includes a mini microdermabrasion followed by a light salicylic or glycolic chemical peel followed up with an oxygen treatment. This treatment helps minimize sun damage, brown spots, freckles, large pores, and acne scarring. A Chemabrasion is a little more aggressive than the microdermabrasion alone because of the light salicylic or glycolic chemical peel. Treatment areas include the face, neck, chest, back, elbows, arms and feet.
Exclusively offered in the Ashland KY, Portsmouth OH and Huntington WV areas!
Frequently Asked Questions
How Does Chemabrasion Work?
Chemabrasion start with a light Microdermabrasion using a stream of fine crystals, which are delivered across the skin's surface, removing the damaged skin cells to reveal fresh skin. This treatment is followed by a light chemical peel to help remove excess oils and impurities below the surface of the skin also helping to remove clogged pores and blackheads. This will help lead you to the results of minimizing your pore size and fine lines. Lastly, an Oxygen Treatment delivers oxygen to refresh and renew the new exposed skin cells, minimizing the obvious sun damage, brown spots, freckles, large pores, and acne scarring. The bonus of this chemical peel is definitely the oxygen portion of this facial. There is absolutely nothing more soothing and revitalizing then a 100 percent oxygen facial!
What Happens Before Chemabrasion?
Before a Chemabrasion or Microdermabrasion, or any Salicylic or Glycolic treatment, the patient should avoid Dermal Fillers or Botox injections for 10-14 days before the treatment. Before receiving treatment, the patient should be off Retinol products or exfoliation products for the concerns of sun damage, brown spots, freckles, large pores, and acne scarring for 5-7 days. No tanning bed or sun for 7 days prior to the treatment.
What Happens Post-Care for Chemabrasion?
There is no downtime for these light chemical peel treatments. The patient's skin may be a little pink for thirty minutes to one day. Makeup can be applied after treatment; however, there should be no tanning through the natural sun or tanning bed for up to 72 hours.
