How do you prepare for a chemical peel?
First you and the doctor will decide on the type of chemical people you want depending on the desired effects, your skin type and length of recovery. There may be a small “test spot” of chemical peel placed to see how you respond to the chemical. In some cases, pre-treatment with tretinoin (Retin A) is suggested. This is an acne treatment medication which will allow the chemical peel to penetrate faster and may speed healing. All patients should use sunscreen before and after chemical peel treatment. Additionally, patients with a history of cold sores, herpes simplex infection, may be started on an anti-viral medication such as acyclovir to prevent viral infection.

I had such a positive experience here with Dr. Z and his staff. From the initial consultation to my post-surgery appts. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. All my questions/concerns were addressed, the surgery itself went really well (and I am so happy with my results, seriously life changing), my recovery went smoothly and Dr. Z gave me his personal cell # so I could reach out if I had any worries during my recovery. Dr. Z and his staff truly care about their patients and go above and beyond to deliver the best results! I highly recommend coming here if you need any aesthetic surgery, you won't be disappointed.
