Indications:

• Acne or acne scars.
• Fine lines and wrinkles.

Intended Result:

• To achieve softer, smoother, younger looking skin by eliminating dead skin cells found in the outer layer of skin.
• To stimulate the production of fresh skin cells and collagen.
• To improve overall self image.

Procedure Description:

• Aluminum oxide crystals are projected onto the skin in a safe and uniform manner in order to exfoliate the top dead layers of skin. These crystals, along with the dead skin cells, are vacuumed into a filter container and then discarded.
• There is no sedation needed for this procedure.

Length of Procedure

• A power peel takes about ten to thirty minutes, depending on the aggressiveness of the peel.

Recovery & Aftercare:

• Patients may experience a pinkish hue that heals into a healthy glow within hours.
• Normal activities can be resumed immediately following a peel.

Insurance Guidelines:

• Power peels are deemed cosmetic in nature; therefore they are not covered by insurance.

Additional Procedures:

• The Obagi skin health and rejuvenation system and an Obagi Blue Peel used in conjunction with a power peel will enhance, and maintain the overall result.

*Please discuss these options with the doctor.
