There are two basic types of chemical peels performed here at the Georgia Center for Plastic Surgery. During your consultation, we will discuss both types with you to determine which one best suits your needs.

In addition, they provide a number of unique benefits, such as:
Chemical peels may be ideal if you want to brighten your skin’s appearance and reduce minor imperfections. It will not improve sagging skin or a loss of volume and should therefore not be considered a substitute for a facelift.
To enjoy the benefits of chemical peels, you should have relatively healthy skin with no open sores or wounds. You should also avoid sun exposure, including tanning beds, for up to a week before your procedure. If you are considering other cosmetic procedures, such as dermal fillers, please discuss these with Dr. Groves during your consultation in Macon, GA, to ensure it is safe to have more than one treatment simultaneously.
Getting started with a chemical peel in Macon is a simple, straightforward, and seamless process. You will meet Dr. Groves for a private consultation, during which the two of you will discuss your cosmetic goals and complete your medical and physical assessment. Once it is confirmed that a chemical peel is the best approach for meeting your needs, we will schedule your treatment date and provide you with personalized preparation instructions to follow.
You may experience some tenderness, redness, and swelling immediately after a chemical peel. The degree of sensitivity you experience is directly related to the depth of your peel. Most people report that their symptoms are barely noticeable with a light peel but are more profound after a medium or deep peel. Your skin may be more sensitive to sunlight regardless of the depth of your peel, which is why you should avoid sun exposure until after your follow-up appointment.
You might notice some redness and minor swelling for the first 24 to 48 hours, similar to a mild sunburn. Tiny scabs can form where the microneedles entered your skin, but they flake off naturally within a few days. Most patients return to their regular routine the next day. You’ll want to avoid sun exposure and stick to a gentle skincare regimen while your skin heals and regenerates.
