facial peels in Toledo

There are many resurfacing options, such as laser, Renuvion J-Plasma, micro needling, and Genius RF micro needling (links for all) for addressing aging or damaged skin changes of the face and neck and restoring more youthful healthy skin.  Finding honest and accurate information can be challenging at best for patients with cosmetic concerns. It is therefore extremely important for each patient to find a qualified and experienced professional that can be trusted to educate and inform transparently on the optimal aesthetic procedure and plan that is best to achieve not only their aesthetic goals but also respect their budget and tolerance for recovery time.  When these priorities are met, for the appropriate patient, deeper physician chemical peeling can provide beautiful and youthful skin surface on its own or when combined with other aesthetic surgical procedures, enhance overall results with a comprehensive rejuvenation.

This is a common misconception but a properly done peel will increase skin thickness and tone. In addition to removing the outer damaged skin cell layer, the EVOLV peels stimulate new and increased growth from below of collagen, elastin, hyaluronic sugars, circulation, and the youthful components of healthy, young skin.

EVOLV Plastic Surgery and Medical Aesthetics offers many state-of-the-art non-surgical resurfacing options in addition to physician chemical peels in Toledo that can reduce the signs of aging and sun damage. EVOLV’s skin care treatment programs consist of a pre-treatment preparation period with a personalized skin care regimen, then after preparation the resurfacing treatment, and finally a post-treatment maintenance program which is essential to keeping and even enhancing the result. Your EVOLV skin care professional and physician will assist you in determining your best option based on costs, downtime tolerance, and goals.

Chemical peel costs will depend on many factors including the extent and area treated, peel depth, and whether or not other procedures are planned such as combined surgery or fat grafting, the type of anesthesia, and facility. It is important to remember that the costs include not only the procedure itself but also all post-treatment care, and this can be more prolonged with deeper peels. Optimal results and safety require consistent and conscientious post-care.  You will be provided with a specific and itemized surgical quote from our EVOLV Patient Coordinator explaining and detailing all related costs.

This is a common question and one that must be carefully considered. When it comes to elective aesthetic procedures, informed patients make decisions based on three primary considerations: cost, downtime and, most importantly results. Therefore, it is so essential for each patient to find a qualified and experienced board-certified plastic surgeon that provides unbiased information and in whom they can trust.  Price shopping frequently leads to unfavorable outcomes, complications, and expensive revisional procedures. The EVOLV physician peel programs improve the quality and youthful features of the skin and can lower skin cancer risk. Improving skin quality enhances the outcome of any other aesthetic or cosmetic surgery which is a significant additional benefit that patients particularly enjoy.

Recovery or downtime after chemical peel resurfacing will depend on the depth of the treatment and if applicable, the number and extent of accompanying procedures and therefore must be individualized. It is helpful to remember that ‘recovery’ is a process and goes thru stages. At EVOLV Plastic Surgery we have found that preparing and restoring optimal skin health with a personalized medical skin care program as well as extensive patient pre-operative teaching and education, specific supplements for healing, in addition to post-operative lymphatic and sound wave massage, and LED phototherapy can significantly reduce downtime and improve healing for chemical peel resurfacing as well as any aesthetic treatment.  Our professional staff will review expected recovery times with you to assist with your post-procedure planning.

Chemical peel results and longevity are very much affected by numerous factors.  These include patient age and genetics, pre/post treatment overall health and lifestyle, peel depth, and the type of medical acid used, and most importantly, post-treatment skin care and aesthetic maintenance services. In our experience, a personalized medical skin care program, along with aesthetic maintenance treatments and practicing healthy lifestyle habits can extend youthful results far longer than traditional peels or other skin treatment procedures.

There are a wide variety of chemical peels available at EVOLV ranging from very light ‘invisible’ peeling (ZO Enzymatic Peel and Acceleration Exfoliator (link)) with no downtime, moderate depth aesthetician peels (ZO 3 Step Peel) (link), and very deep physician peel treatments ( ZO Controlled Depth Peel and Modified Phenol Peel) (link) which have much longer downtimes but give the maximal correction and rejuvenation. The EVOLV medical aestheticians perform a variety of the light and moderate depth peels in the office while the deeper physician peels may be done in the office procedure room or, when the peel is combined with an aesthetic surgical procedure, in the outpatient facility under a light anesthetic.  Peel selection will depend on the degree of aging and sun damage and the individualized goals of each patient.  Dr. Barone and the EVOLV nurses and aestheticians have extensive experience and advanced training in each peel option as well as advanced skin care.
