Chemical Peels

Who needs a chemical peel anyway?

Chemical peels are for patients who have a bit more skin damage than a skin care regimen can improve. They can be used to improve the overall skin color and contour. Peels may be used in lieu of a facelift for patients with mild facial aging, or may be used prior to a facelift to improve the overall surgical results. In some areas of the face like the lower eyelid, chemical peels may be better than surgery!

How do chemical peels work?

Chemical peels work by creating injury! By creating a controlled injury to the skin, the skin will act to remodel itself which can improve fine wrinkles and sun damaged areas.

Chemical Peel FAQ’s

What is the recovery like for a chemical peel?

As you might suspect, this will vary depending on what intensity of chemical peel (depth of injury) you receive and in what areas of the face. After the peel, there will be an immediate injury stage with redness, swelling, and discomfort. During this period, if you are prone to "cold sores", Dr. Albright will prescribe a medication to try to prevent a viral outbreak. This will typically be followed by flaking of the skin as the skin starts to heal itself, and takes weeks to months for the improved new outer layer of skin to mature. It is important to protect the skin during this sensitive time period.

“ Dr. Albright is a skilled and precise surgeon. At my first appointment
Dr. Albright and his staff are extremely skilled and knowledge. Being an RN and knowing details about surgical complications and post op infection risks, I wouldn’t go to any other plastic surgeons in town. He absolutely wants the best results and is willing to take the time needed to achieve that goal. Dr. Albright is realistic about expectations and outcomes and takes the time during procedures to do it right. I highly recommend Dr. Albright without reservations. ”

Breast Augmentation

“ I recently had breast augmentation, and I am so pleased with my results. He spent a great deal of time explaining my options, listening to what I wanted, and providing his opinion. I visited other surgeons in the area and didn’t feel any of the others listened or cared quite like Dr. Albright. Not only do I recommend Dr. Albright, hospital nurses commented to me that he is the best! ”

“ Dr. Albright is a caring professional - he answers all questions thoroughly and takes as much time as necessary. He is an exceptional doctor. Everyone is friendly, caring and shows genuine concern for how the patient is feeling - I felt comfortable the first time I met Dr. Albright and his staff. This continued on every visit. ”
