Chemical Peels & Laser Resurfacing

Madison Plastic Surgery offers chemical peels and laser resurfacing as non-surgical skin renewal treatments to improve texture, tone, fine lines, and pigmentation. Chemical peels use controlled exfoliant solutions at varying depths to remove damaged outer skin layers and stimulate collagen remodelling. Laser resurfacing targets skin irregularities with precision energy delivery. Both treatments are available as standalone procedures or as components of Dr. Tornambe's Non-Surgical Makeover package, coordinated alongside injectables for comprehensive facial rejuvenation without surgery.

Chemical peels and laser resurfacing at Madison Plastic Surgery on Manhattan's Upper East Side are performed in a board-certified plastic surgery environment, ensuring treatment parameters are matched to the patient's skin type, Fitzpatrick classification, and aesthetic goals. Chemical peels use acid solutions — glycolic, salicylic, trichloroacetic (TCA), or phenol — at superficial, medium, or deep concentrations to create a controlled wound response. Superficial peels address dull skin, mild uneven tone, and early fine lines with minimal downtime; medium-depth TCA peels target acne scarring, moderate pigmentation, and sun damage with a week of peeling; deep phenol peels achieve significant wrinkle reduction and textural improvement but require a longer recovery period and are performed selectively under medical supervision. Laser resurfacing directs focused light energy to selectively vaporise damaged skin cells and stimulate dermal collagen synthesis, producing a smoother, tighter, and more even complexion over a series of sessions. Both modalities address sun damage, age spots, rough texture, uneven skin tone, and superficial scarring. At Madison Plastic Surgery, these treatments are typically coordinated with Botox and filler treatments as part of a broader Non-Surgical Makeover plan, allowing the team to sequence treatments for synergistic results — for example, combining peel-induced skin renewal with filler-restored volume and Botox-relaxed dynamic lines. Operating within a surgical practice setting means peels and resurfacing are also available as preparatory or complementary steps for patients planning surgical procedures, including facelift or rhinoplasty. The 815 Park Avenue Manhattan location serves patients from across New York City who want skin treatments delivered within a board-certified plastic surgery environment rather than a standalone aesthetics clinic.
