Chemical Peels

Aesthetic Skin Peels in NYC

Refreshing your skin for a youthful and healthy glow does not have to mean taking time away from work or your social life. With a chemical peel professionally tailored for your skin type, Dr. Karlinsky-Bellini can dramatically improve sun damage, discoloration, and a wide range of other skin flaws—all without surgery and very little downtime.

  • During a glycolic peel, derma peel, or skin peel a chemical solution is applied to the face to slough away dead skin cells and improve the overall appearance of the skin. Dr. Karlinsky-Bellini uses this process to bring new, younger skin to the surface for a smoother, more youthful look.

  • Chemical peels are incredibly effective at reducing the signs of aging and sun damage, including:

    • Wrinkles and fine lines
    • Acne spots
    • Age spots
    • Freckles
    • and dark patches

    Overall, chemical peels can bring a glow to facial skin that appears tired or dull.

  • Your chemical peel appointment can be scheduled at our office shortly after your initial consultation. A light chemical peel is used to address minor imperfections, while a deep chemical peel involves more significant skin removal. Our team will help you select the degree of chemical peel strength that’s right for you.

  • As your skin heals after treatment, your new and fresh face will be revealed in a matter of days, with continued improvement over a week or two (*).

  • Our may advise you to stop using certain skin medications prior to your treatment, such as Retin-A, glycolic acid, or other skin products.

  • Your chemical peel treatment will take 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the degree of the peel. You may feel some tingling, stinging, or minor burning during the treatment from the alpha hydroxy acid (AHA). If necessary, Dr. Karlinsky-Bellini can provide pain medication to ease your comfort.

  • Immediately after treatment, your skin will appear sunburned. Over the course of a week, your dead skin cells will gently scale away to reveal the fresh new skin underneath. Sun exposure must be avoided during the healing process and sunscreen is strongly encouraged. Deep chemical peels may require the face to be covered with petroleum jelly and protective strips for a day or two.

  • Chemical peels are safe facial treatments. Rare side effects could include allergic reactions, discoloration of the skin, blistering, or scarring.

    Patients experiencing any unusual or concerning symptoms are advised to call Dr. Karlinsky-Bellini’s cell phone immediately.

  • Chemical peels can provide long-lasting results. Many patients choose to have regular sessions to maintain a youthful appearance as they age.

  • Once the degree of your chemical peel is determined, Dr. Karlinsky-Bellini will review the investment with you in detail.

  • Those wishing to treat only specific areas of their face or target individual wrinkles or lines may opt for facial filler injections such as BOTOX® Cosmetic, Dysport®, RADIESSE®, Restylane®, Restylane Lyft™, or JUVÉDERM®. Laser treatments such as Zerona or Clear and Brilliant® are also very effective rejuvenation therapies. Dr. Karlinsky-Bellini will help you select the best treatment for your cosmetic goals.
