Peels & Microdermabrasion in New Jersey

Chemical peel treatments involve applying a chemical solution to the skin, which causes it to “blister” and eventually peel off.

Several factors can cause the skin to look dull or older than it should, including environmental conditions, stress, and the natural aging process. Chemical peels and microdermabrasion can improve the appearance of the skin by removing old, dry, or damaged skin layers to expose healthy, youthful-looking skin.

Dr. Nicole Schrader is a board-certified facial plastic surgeon in New Jersey who has performed hundreds of cosmetic skincare procedures, including countless peels and microdermabrasion treatments. At Becker Plastics, both women and men can benefit from these treatments, which require minimal downtime.

What Are Chemical Peels?

Chemical peel treatments involve applying a chemical solution to the skin, which causes it to “blister” and eventually peel off. The new, regenerated skin is usually smoother and less wrinkled than the old skin. 

After a peel, the skin is also temporarily more sensitive to the sun, so it’s critical to protect it and avoid exposure. Patients sometimes choose to combine a chemical peel with fillers such as Restylane® to maximize their facial rejuvenation results.

Benefits of Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are performed on the face, neck, and/or hands. They can be used to:

  • Reduce fine lines under the eyes and around the mouth
  • Treat wrinkles caused by sun damage, aging, and genetics
  • Improve the appearance of mild scarring
  • Treat certain types of acne
  • Reduce age spots, freckles, and dark patches due to pregnancy or taking birth control pills (melasma)
  • Improve the look and feel of skin that is dull in texture and color

Areas of sun damage, which may include pre-cancerous keratoses that appear as scaly spots, may improve after chemical peeling. Following treatment, new pre-cancerous lesions are less likely to appear. 
Sagging skin, bulges, and more severe wrinkles do not respond well to chemical peels. They may require other kinds of cosmetic surgical procedures, such as carbon dioxide laser resurfacing, a facelift, a brow lift, an eyelid lift, or soft tissue fillers.

The Chemical Peel Procedure

Dr. Schrader can perform light and medium chemical peels in her office, or deeper peels in a surgery center as outpatient procedures. 

First, the skin is thoroughly cleansed with an agent that removes excess oils while the eyes and hair are protected. Then, one or more chemical solutions, such as glycolic acid, trichloroacetic acid (TCA), salicylic acid, lactic acid, or carbolic acid (phenol) are applied to the skin. These applications produce a controlled wound, enabling new skin cells to emerge following the treatment.

What is Microdermabrasion?

Diamond tip microdermabrasion is an effective treatment for removing the uppermost layers of skin. It delivers a smoother, clearer, and more youthful appearance. Microdermabrasion treatments are gentle, precise, and an excellent choice for the lip and eye areas, as well as the chest and hands.

The Microdermabrasion Procedure

Microdermabrasion is a minimally invasive procedure that does not require any anesthesia. 

First, the aesthetician will cleanse your face and apply tiny crystals to the skin. Then they will use a small tool with a diamond tip to gently exfoliate the surface of the skin. The tool also has a small vacuum that removes dead skin cells, impurities, and exfoliating crystals.

Frequently Asked Questions About Peels & Microdermabrasion

Is a chemical peel or microdermabrasion right for me?

A facial plastic surgeon can help determine the most appropriate type of treatment for you. Generally, fair-skinned and light-haired patients are ideal candidates for chemical peels. People with darker skin types may also see good results, depending on the type of skin problem being treated. However, the risk of developing an uneven skin tone after the procedure is increased.

Microdermabrasion is suitable for all skin tones and most skin types. It gently exfoliates the top layer of skin to brighten skin tone and improve the complexion. However, because it only interacts with the top layer of the skin, it is not effective for deep lines and wrinkles, severe acne, pigmentation, or prominent scars.

What is the recovery period like for chemical peels and microdermabrasion?

On the first day after a chemical peel, your skin may be red and slightly tender. You can apply moisturizer to ease any discomfort. 

In the following days, your skin will feel dry and begin to peel. This should only last for three or four days. After about two weeks, your skin should be completely healed.

Microdermabrasion is minimally invasive so there is virtually no recovery period. Your skin may feel red and sensitive immediately after the procedure, but this should go away in a few hours or some cases a few days.

How much do chemical peels and microdermabrasion cost?

The cost of your treatment will depend on several factors including which treatment you choose, the size of the area you want to treat, and your provider’s fees. Chemical peels and microdermabrasion are not typically covered by insurance.
