Chemical Peels in Cincinnati

A chemical peel is a skin-resurfacing treatment that uses a chemical formula to deeply exfoliate skin, stimulating collagen production and growth of new skin cells. Peels can address a variety of skin conditions simultaneously and improve the health and appearance of your skin, restoring a radiant and youthful glow.

At Transform MD, we will always customize chemical peels in Cincinnati to your desired outcomes and your unique skin type. We can help you address concerns such as acne, fine lines and wrinkles, and so much more.

Chemical peels can address a variety of skin issues including sun damage, discoloration, fine lines and wrinkles, large pores, pimples and scarring due to acne, and uneven skin texture. A benefit of chemical peels is that multiple skin problems can be simultaneously addressed with these treatments. There are a variety of chemical peel options, and the care team at Transform MD will help you to select the treatment that will best meet your needs and help you to achieve your aesthetic goals. Skin problems we often address include:

• Acne: chemical peels exfoliate the skin, effectively removing dead skin cells, buildup, and excess oils. They also unclog hair follicles and pores while reducing the appearance of pimples and acne scars, improving overall skin texture.
• Fine lines and wrinkles: peel treatments can improve the appearance of sun-damaged or aging skin by smoothing fine lines in the face, under the eyes, and around the mouth.
• Rough skin texture: Our chemical peel treatments help boost the amount of collagen in the upper layer of your skin, resulting in firmer, improved skin texture.
• Lentigines (large freckles known as liver or age spots): These develop due to sun exposure and are often present on sites exposed to the sun, such as the face, arms, and neck. Chemical peels can lighten large freckles and improve the appearance of sun-damaged skin.
• Melasma: Patchy skin discoloration that appears on the cheeks, nose, upper lip, and forehead is known as melasma. It is common in women who are experiencing hormonal changes, such as those associated with pregnancy, some contraceptives, or Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), and can be difficult to treat. A course of chemical peels can lighten the appearance of these stubborn areas of skin discoloration.
• Hyperpigmentation: Chemical peels can help to lighten areas of hyperpigmentation, or patches of skin that are much darker than your overall skin tone. Peels can effectively lighten and even out areas of uneven pigmentation in your complexion.

During a chemical peel at Transform MD, our aesthetician prepares a specialized solution and applies it to your skin. The peel begins to exfoliate the top layers of your skin, promoting the shedding of dead skin cells. As your skin heals and sheds dead skin cells and bacteria, new cells generate to prompt smoother and brighter skin.

The care team at Transform MD administers chemical peels safely and effectively. Dr. Welden and the aesthetic team use high-quality, professional formulas while following protocols that ensure your safety. Side effects are minimal, and may include temporary irritation, skin peeling, and redness. These are all signs that the treatment is working and your skin is rejuvenating and healing.

Scheduling

If you’re ready to start your journey, all you need to do is book your appointment. There’s no consultation required for chemical peels, though we’ll still take time to understand your aesthetic goals, answer your questions, and create a treatment plan with your specific needs in mind.

Personalized Treatment Plan

We value our patients, which means we value effective results. Dr. Welden and the aesthetic team will discuss your aesthetic concerns, answer your questions, and create an individualized treatment plan to meet your needs. With several medium-depth and superficial peels to choose from, we offer some of the most effective chemical peels in Cincinnati. We’ll make recommendations that will allow you to achieve optimal results, and schedule maintenance visits as necessary.

Treatment

At Transform MD, the chemical peel experience is relaxing and enjoyable. As we brush the peel formula over your face, you’ll feel a small amount of temporary tingling—this means that the treatment is working. We explain what we’re doing every step of the way. The appointment takes only 30 minutes and there’s no downtime. You can return to your regular schedule after visiting us for treatment.

Results

Depending on your unique features and which peel treatment you received, results generally last for 2 to 6 months. When you add a chemical peel to your normal maintenance routine, you’ll likely see long-lasting results, including youthful-looking skin. We encourage you to schedule follow-up appointments with us based on our recommendations.

After your chemical peel treatment, your skin will be in the “peeling phase” for a few days. It’s best to refrain from makeup while your skin is in this phase. The duration of this phase depends on the depth of the peel you received. It is common for your skin to peel for 3 to 5 days after your treatment with chemical peels in Cincinnati.

This depends on the peel you receive and the unique characteristics of your skin. Our medium-depth peel treatments produce excellent results when done 3 to 4 times a year. These peels use stronger acids than superficial peels. Superficial peel treatments gently exfoliate and peel the outer layer of skin and are much milder. They can be repeated monthly to maintain fresh, healthy skin. We’ll work with you to create a treatment plan in consideration of your skin’s characteristics as well as your goals and schedule.

A chemical peel produces the best results when combined with laser or IPL treatments. At Transform MD, we often recommend an initial chemical peel before or after a laser treatment. This helps to provide you with the best results in a short amount of time.

Chemical peels in Cincinnati are ideal for individuals who:

• Want to address mild to moderate skin concerns including acne, sunspots, and more.
• Have no current skin infections or open facial wounds.
