What
is a chemical peel ?
Chemical peel is a surgical procedure in which Dr. Rapaport applies certain
chemical agents to the skin in a controlled manner. A solution causes
it to separate, and eventually peel, leaving a smoother surface. There
are two types of chemical peel techniques: one is a light or medium peel
used to remove superficial wrinkles; the other a deep peel, for more severe
conditions. Bandaging may be required for deep peel, but is not used with
the light peel.

What
is a Chemical Peel Series ?
Recent discoveries have shown that when a series of peels are
performed within a short time interval, the effect is greater than any
one procedure. Dr. Rapaport has developed a series of light, and light
medium peels that duplicate the results of a medium depth procedure without
many disadvantages.Back to Top
What
is a "Lunch Time" peel ?
Lunch time peel is a vaiation
of the chemical peel series for Dr. Rapaport's patients who do not wish

Dr. Rapaport's Ultra Skin at home peeling (patented) products.

What
can be expected following treatment ?
Every person has an individual response pattern. In most cases the procedure
takes approximately 20 minutes, and is performed three times with a 2-3
week interval between each peel. A minimal amount of redness and tingling
develops, which ends prior to leaving the office. Within 2 to 5 days a
light peeling is faintly visible and lasts about 5 days. Special moisturizers
and medications are given with written instruction. Back
