What is Micropeel?

A micropeel is a type of skin peel that was created by SkinCeuticals. The SkinCeuticals micro peel is a multi-step process that combines exfoliation, chemical peel solution, as well as cryogenic therapy. A typically chemical peel is a treatment used to help fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, or sun damaged skin. Dr. Hardesty and his expert aestheticians have been trained in many skin rejuvenation techniques, thus “One Goal Many Options”. Microdermabrasion is one of those options. The micro-peel treatment is time tested, proven and effective in helping his patients achieve beautiful, glowing skin. The team at Imagine Plastic Surgery help their patients achieve the best results by using the patented Micropeel from SkinCeuticals.

The Micropeel Treatment

At a consultation appointment with Dr. Hardesty and his Aestheticians at his Riverside office will examine your skin. Through this examination, they will look at any skin concerns you may have such as wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, or acne scars. As well as looking at your skin type, elasticity, and hydration. This will help them create a treatment plan for you. The micro peel treatment uses three steps to help rejuvenate the skin. The steps are:

• Chemical Exfoliation: This helps to prepare the skin for the chemical peel
• Chemical Peel Solution: This procedure puts a solution on your skin that helps to remove the top layer of damaged skin and leave behind the new layer of healthy, glowing skin.
• Cryogenic Therapy: The freezing effect on your face will help boost the healing process and the cell turnover rate. This helps to fight off inflammation and bacteria as well.
