Mavis Jaworski, M.D., P.C.
BOARD CERTIFIED
PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN
Advanced Chemical Peels
Before & After
As a primary care medical doctor who has studied dermatology in London, Dr. Jaworski recognizes the importance of caring for the skin at all ages. As the host of the medical television show, Healthy Issues, Dr. Jaworski understands the importance of having a smooth skin texture with even color.
After researching various advanced chemicals Dr. Jaworski has selected a product line which she feels is the safest and most effective for chemical facial peels. Dr. Jaworski believes in these products and uses them herself.
When you come in for an advanced chemical facial peel an in depth skin history is taken in order to create a specific treatment plan for your skin. These gentle yet advanced chemical peels can be done monthly.
The treatments which are personally done by Dr. Jaworski help to reduce the depth of surface lines, smooth out rough skin texture, help fade brown spots and assist in drying out acne/blemished skin. The naturally occurring “fruit acids” in these treatments will remove dead cells from the skin’s surface. Removing this top layer (where most visible wrinkles are) allows the healthier skin cells to come through, giving a smoother texture to your skin and a glowing and radiant appearance.
To schedule your appointment for an advanced chemical peel, call the office of Dr. Jaworski at 978-921-5885.
MOST COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT ADVANCED CHEMICAL PEELS
Q How much downtime is expected with a peel?
A There is no downtime whatsoever with these advanced chemical peels. You can actually receive a peel on your lunch hour and return to work.
Q When will I start “peeling”, for how long and how much?
A Everyone’s experience will be different. However, on an average, you will see flaking by day two or three following the treatment. It is possible to see flaking for up to five or six days. With all advanced chemical peels, only light to medium exfoliation will be experienced.
Q Can a person who is in the sun a lot receive a peel?
A Yes, only if they are compliant with using sunscreen protection. If you are getting peels to lighten the skin, we have a cream which is ideal to reduce any chance of further pigmentation.
Q What peels can be used on someone who frequently works out?
A Someone who frequently works out can have any peel but must wait 48 hours after the treatment to exercise. If you don’t want to wait, you can have an acid-free, time-released cream. It has a delayed flaking action that creates no irritation or downtime and leaves the skin glowing and hydrated.
Q Are there any treatments that are good for rosacea?
A The rosacea treatment can reduce inflammation and promote healing. Rosacea is best controlled with a combination of in-office treatments, home care products and lifestyle considerations.
Q Can someone using Retin-A or Accutane have an advanced chemical peel?
A We generally recommend that Retin-A use be stopped five days prior to a peel and five days post treatment because of potential irritation and uneven peel penetration. Accutane users tend to have very dry and sensitive skin and need to be treated only with peels that are appropriate for their skin type. We have found that the chemical peel solutions we use are Accutane friendly. However it is important to make Dr. Jaworski aware of any Retin-A, Accutane or exfoliating product use.
Q What is the difference between our peels and glycolic peels?
A Glycolic acid will dehydrate skin and make pores larger after extended use. Our advanced chemical peels uses lactic and citric acids which are skin-friendly because they are natural constituents of your skin.
