Restore the Glow of Healthy Skin with a Chemical Peel

Chemical peels are a popular non-surgical treatment designed to enhance the skin’s appearance by exfoliating the outer layers, revealing smoother, healthier, radiant skin. At Alemi Facial Plastic Surgery, we offer a range of chemical peels in Long Island tailored to meet your specific skin needs and concerns. Led by Dr. Sean Alemi, MD, FACS, our expert team is dedicated to helping you revive your inner glow.

What is the Experience?

A specially formulated solution is applied to the skin during your chemical peel procedure, causing the top layers to exfoliate and eventually peel. The depth of the peel determines the extent of exfoliation, and the results achieved. During the treatment, you can expect to feel a mild tingling or warming sensation. Plan your life so the potential redness and peeling in the days following don’t interfere with any important engagements.

Types of Chemical Peels

We offer a variety of chemical peels in Long Island at Alemi Facial Plastic Surgery, each designed to address specific skin concerns:

  • Superficial Peels: Ingredients for superficial peels usually include Glycolic acid, salicylic acid, or lactic acid. These peels gently exfoliate the outer layer of skin, improving texture and tone. They are ideal for treating minor skin imperfections, such as fine lines, uneven pigmentation, and acne.
  • Medium Depth Peels: Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) or a combination of acids are most often used in our medium-depth peels. These treatments penetrate deeper into the skin, making them effective for more significant concerns, such as moderate wrinkles, sun damage, and scarring. Expect to experience more noticeable peeling and a longer recovery time compared to superficial peels.
  • Deep Peels: These consist of phenol or a higher concentration of TCA. Deep peels provide the most dramatic results by targeting deeper layers of the skin. They are effective for severe wrinkles, deep scars, and extensive sun damage. However, they also require a more extended recovery period and are usually performed less frequently.

Watch the Magic Happen—Fresh, Glowing Skin

Recovery time varies depending on the type of peel performed. After a superficial peel, you may experience mild redness and peeling for a few days. Medium and deep peels may require a longer recovery, with more significant peeling and redness.

During your consultation beforehand, you will have time to learn which peel will be right for you. Our team will also provide detailed aftercare instructions following the procedure to ensure optimal healing. Whatever you choose, once the process is complete, your skin will appear refreshed and new.
