The physicians at Accent Dermatology and Laser Institute are able to help concerns of pigmentation, skin irregularities, sun damage, pre-cancers, and textural changes through a variety of chemical peels.

Face

Acne is often significantly helped through the use of a series of beta-salicylic acid peels, called "ß-peels". These are done once a month for as long as the patient desires. The pores of the skin are opened by the peel, and dead, infected skin is cleared away. Slight redness for a day or two after each treatment should be expected. There should be no discomfort. ß-peels are an alternative to other acne treatment and when done in conjunction with oral and other topical acne treatment will help clear acne faster. Call the friendly staff at Accent Dermatology and Laser Institute at 303-463-9600 for a ß-peel appointment.

Sundamage may be alleviated with glycolic acid peels for the face. Rough, brown skin, and skin with melasma may benefit by a series of glycolic acid peels. Slight redness after the peel may be expected, with peeling occurring 3-7 days later. The skin is left more supple and refreshed after each peel. Call the friendly staff at Accent Dermatology and Laser Institute at 303-463-9600 for a cosmetic consultation appointment, to see if you are a glycolic acid peel candidate.

Body

Sundamage accumulated over years in the sun without sun protection may leave the skin leathery, rough, wrinkled and with blotchy pigmentation. If you would like rejuvenated skin on your arms, back, neck, chest, abdomen or legs, call us and ask about a TCA body peel for the area of the body you are concerned about. TCA peels help remove the top layers of the skin which are damaged by the sun, leaving smoother, more supple and evenly pigmented skin behind. Several TCA peels, done in a series, may help remove even deeper sundamage. After each peel the skin is kept covered with healing ointment for 5-7 days. The skin begins peeling during this time, and completes the peeling process in about two weeks. It is a comfortable procedure many people would benefit from. Call the friendly staff at Accent Dermatology and Laser Institute at 303-463-9600 for a cosmetic consultation appointment, to see if you would be a 'Body Peel' candidate!
