Medical-Grade Chemical Peels (IMAGE Skincare)

Advanced medical-grade chemical peels offered through Atlanta Plastic Surgery Specialists' medical spa, in partnership with IMAGE Skincare. Peels address uneven skin tone, fine lines, acne, hyperpigmentation, and dull texture. Superficial to medium-depth options are available with varying downtime. Part of the practice's expanded non-surgical aesthetics programme announced alongside fibroblast plasma therapy.

Atlanta Plastic Surgery Specialists expanded its service offering with a medical spa programme that includes advanced chemical peels using the IMAGE Skincare product line — a professional-grade skincare and peel brand known in the aesthetics industry for its Ormedic, Iluma, and Ageless formulations. Chemical peels work by applying a precisely formulated acid solution to the skin surface to deliberately remove the outermost layers of the epidermis, triggering cellular turnover and, at medium depths, stimulating new collagen formation in the underlying dermis. The IMAGE Skincare partnership allows the practice to offer a clinical-grade peel menu calibrated to different skin concerns and patient tolerances, with peel agents including glycolic acid, salicylic acid, lactic acid, mandelic acid, retinoic acid, and trichloroacetic acid (TCA) at varying concentrations and in combination formulations. Superficial peels using lower concentrations of alpha-hydroxy acids produce mild exfoliation and brightening with minimal or no visible peeling and no social downtime, suitable for patients seeking gradual improvement or skin maintenance between surgical procedures. Medium-depth peels using higher concentrations or TCA-containing formulations produce more pronounced epidermal shedding over five to seven days, delivering more significant improvement in hyperpigmentation, fine lines, acne scarring, and overall skin texture. The peel consultation takes into account the patient's Fitzpatrick skin type, current skincare regimen, history of cold sores (which may require antiviral prophylaxis prior to peeling), and treatment goals. As part of a medical plastic surgery practice, the peels are administered in a supervised clinical setting with comprehensive aftercare guidance including prescription-strength sunscreen and recovery skin care. The medical spa peel programme complements the surgical services at the practice, allowing patients to address both structural and surface-quality concerns within a single provider relationship.
