Answer: Chemical Peels Can Be Customized To Particular Problems & To Specific Areas Of The Face Chemical peels can most certainly be customized to meet the needs of particular patients and to deal with specific problems. For example, when confronted with a patient with melasma confined to certain locations (such as to particular parts of the cheeks or forehead) or with solar lentigines ("sun spots") that have proven particulary resistent to OTC and prescription strength bleaching creams, I very often spot treat the darker or more resistant spots with a stronger peeling agent and then either leave the remaining normal skin untreated or treated with a lighter peeling agent just to achieve better blending.So, the short answer to your question is absolutely "yes" you can be spot treated only with an appropriate peeling agent. Just a word of caution This has become the glitzy age of lasers-hyped-for-everything, which of course has translated into fewer and fewer physicians gaining or maintaining experience in peeling. So, before proceeding, be sure that you seek consultation with a board certified aesthetic physician with experience and expertise in chemical peels.

CONTACT NOW Answer: TCA 15% can be used for spot treatments when addressing scars. Recommend treating the whole face for a regular chemical peel Our treatments use combination therapy to improve the epidermis and dermis for most deep scars. The options available for acne scars depend on the character of your scars, in terms of topography and contour. We see atrophic and hypertrophic acne scars, as well as scars that have hypo and hyperpigmentation. We begin each scar evaluation with an assessment of scar quality and subtype. Our main concern is rebuilding collagen and that is why we use a HIDEF protocol that includes combination therapy. Morpheus 8, scar subcision, fibrous release, fractional laser, CO2 laser, Thulium laser, PDL Vbeam laser, and fractional resurfacing can be used in addition to TCA Cross and chemical peels to further improve skin. Patients should start Melarase AM and Melarase PM for active hyperpigmentation. Always begin with a consultation to decide whether early subcision should be started.

Answer: Can a peel be done on some parts of the face Yes, chemical peels can be done on some parts of the face without out doing the whole face or it can be done all over the face. I recommend light fruit acid based peels such as glycolic acid, salicylic acid and both the vitalize and rejuvenize peels. All of these help with texture, tone, acne, and fine lines. Good Luck, Dr. Downie

Answer: Can a peel be done on some parts of the face? If some parts of your face get irritated by an in-office peel you can most certainly only do the desired/troublesome areas. When using an at-home product/peel (which contains a lower concentration of acids) you can also simply use it on the areas that need work. Once you have decided that an in-office chemical peel is a good option for you why not just have the whole face done? Chemical peels are a great way to remove or exfoliate the top layer of dead skin, allowing new, more youthful, healthy skin to show through. It is a lot more beneficial to improve the spots/areas you are concerned about with even results. Without seeing photos I cannot determine what it is you might be suffering from. A laser could be a good option for you as well. Please have a consultation with a board-certified dermatologist and they can help you find the best and most efficient treatment/s for you.
