What's New in Chemical Peels? | | |

SmoothPeelTM - An Innovative, No-Downtime Laser Peel
|
|
An evolution on the traditional chemical peel has emerged, and it's taking the 'Chemical'
out of the peel. Introducing SmoothPeel, the laser alternative to chemical peels
by Candela Corporation of Wayland, MA. By taking the skin rejuvenating qualities
of a traditional chemical peel and combining it with the precision and predictability
of a laser, Candela believes the SmoothPeel is the simple choice for superior peels.

SmoothPeel treatment offers the half a million patients seeking chemical peels a more controlled, chemical free solution for treating their damaged skin. "SmoothPeel ablates tissue like old chemical peels used to," says Mitchell Chasin, MD, medical director of Reflections Center for Skin and Body in New Jersey. "However, the laser peel is more precise and predictable than a chemical peel."
It is difficult to predict what the ablation depth of a chemical peel will be on
any particular patient; results are heavily dependent upon the experience and skill
of the practitioner. With SmoothPeel, the practitioner knows just how much ablation
and exfoliation are being provided with each pass of the handpiece, allowing for
repeatable results at every visit. Additionally, controlled ablation allows practitioners
and patients more freedom to determine the right amount of ablation based on their
needs, while still minimizing undesirable side effects that can happen with topical
chemical solutions.
Peels have long been used to help patients have healthier, younger looking skin
because they can effectively even skin tone and texture, removing finer lines, and
freshen the overall look of the skin. According to a 2005 survey by the American
Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery; 556, 172 chemical peels were performed in
the United States, making them the fifth most popular non-surgical cosmetic procedure.
Short Treatment, Lasting Results
SmoothPeel can comfortably treat an entire face in 20 minutes, and patients are
relaxed because they aren't worried about getting dangerous chemicals in their eyes,
or having the "mixture" left on their skin too long. For maximum results Candela
suggests a series of three treatments performed over the course of six to twelve
weeks. Patients decide how much downtime they can tolerate, and the practitioner
can customize treatments to fit their schedule. Unlike chemical peels, SmoothPeel
isn't just for faces; rejuvenation can be safely performed on other areas of the
body like the neck or chest. "With the SmoothPeel, you can see the difference,"
says Dr. Jason Myers of the Bay Point Laser Skin Clinic.
