What is a Chemical Peel? 

A chemical peel is a customizable exfoliation treatment that removes dead and damaged skin cells to enhance overall skin radiance. A member of Dr. Daraei’s team applies a specialized solution to the skin, penetrating the skin’s surface to stimulate collagen production and promote cellular renewal. Chemical peels are customizable, with light, medium, and deep peels offered to target specific skin concerns with varying levels of intensity. Based on an individual’s skin type and desired results, the treatment is tailored to ensure optimal safety and effectiveness. 

Candidates for a Chemical Peel 

A chemical peel is ideal for individuals seeking to improve uneven skin tone, fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, rough texture, and sun damage. This treatment suits most skin types and can be customized to address specific skin concerns. Ideal candidates are in good skin health, free from active infections or severe sensitivities, and willing to follow post-treatment skincare recommendations. During a consultation, a member of Dr. Daraei’s team will evaluate your skin and determine the best chemical peel for your needs. 

Chemical Peel Procedure 

The treatment begins with a skincare professional thoroughly cleansing the skin to remove makeup, oil, and debris. Once the skin is prepped, a member of Dr. Daraei’s team carefully applies the chemical solution to the treatment area. The solution is left on for a specified time, during which patients may experience a mild tingling or warming sensation. After the appropriate time has passed, the solution is neutralized and removed. The entire procedure takes approximately 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the depth of the peel. While results can be seen after a single session, multiple treatments may be recommended for optimal skin rejuvenation. 

Chemical Peel Recovery 

Recovery time depends on the strength of the peel. Light peels involve minimal downtime, with mild redness and slight peeling for a few days. Medium peels may cause more noticeable flaking and redness, lasting up to a week. Deep peels require a more extended recovery period, with more intense peeling and sensitivity over one to two weeks. Following the procedure, a member of Dr. Daraei’s team will provide detailed aftercare instructions, including moisturization, sun protection, and gentle skincare to ensure proper healing and long-lasting results.

“I love the results”

Dr. Daraei was initially recommended to me by a friend. I was particularly picky about who I wanted to do my rhinoplasty because I have ethnic features and I've also heard of people needing more expensive repeat procedures to fix their first rhinoplasty.
He has made the experience very smooth by being thorough, reassuring, and patient. I am about a year post op and I love the results, can't recommend him enough!

“I never felt rushed”

During the consultation all my questions were answered and Dr.
Daraei suggested the tissue removal from my eyelids. He mentioned the slightly swollen look that I thought was a sinus condition. When he showed me how much of my eyelid was hidden, l was amazed. He then took the time to explain the procedures I might want and answered every question I had. At no time did he make me feel pressured or rushed or that he had somewhere else to go.

“Dr. Daraei is the best doctor”

If you're interested in rhinoplasty, Dr. Daraei is the best doctor to go to! I came to him with a deviated nose and severe breathing issues.
Now, only a month out of surgery, my breathing is amazing and my nose looks beautiful! I cannot say enough amazing things about Dr. Daraei and his work!!

“Absolutely no Judgment”

This was my first foray into the world of plastic surgery. While I try to keep myself in shape, the condition around my eyes made me look old and tired. Of course, I was nervous when I met with Dr. Daraei and his staff for the consultation. Everyone was very nice and there was absolutely no judgment projected toward me by any of the staff.
In fact, the entire staff and Dr. Daraei seemed genuinely enthusiastic about helping me feel better about my appearance.

“Would do it Again!”

Dr. Paul Daraei performed blepharoplasty on both my eyes. He removed the very pronounced bags from under my eyes and removed tissue from my upper eyelids that made it look like I did not have eyebags, when my eyes were open. Let me say this is the best thing I have done for my appearance and would do it again!
