Newport Beach MedSpa Chemical Peels and Cosmelan

Layers of old, dead skin, the appearance of wrinkles, acne, or spots of discoloration prove to be bothersome, and take a toll on your self-esteem. But with chemical peels from Newport Beach MedSpa, you can enjoy radiant, fresh skin.

We offer different skin resurfacing treatments based on pigmentation and your current skin condition. Our variety of peels and facials are comfortable. While chemical peels may produce peeling skin for a few days after treatment, this will not be an uncomfortable process and will diminish shortly after your procedure.

What peels do we carry?

Obagi Radiance Blue Peel  – This chemical peel uses salicylic acid to gently exfoliate and reveal fresher, healthier-looking skin. It helps improve skin tone and texture, leaving your complexion tighter, smoother, and brighter. It treats fine lines and wrinkles, mild to moderate sun damage, and uneven or rough skin tone/texture. Minimal Downtime. Suitable for most skin types.

Jessner Peel – The Jessner peel is a unique blend of salicylic acid, lactic acid, and resorcinol. These key ingredients are indicated for sun damaged and acne prone skin. This treatment can be used by itself or in combination with others for best outcomes. Peeling for 5-7 days.

Cosmelan – A brand of chemical treatment that is intended to help reduce uneven skin pigmentation, such as brown spots, especially melasma. Peeling up to 7-10 days.

To yield best results, we often use microdermabrasion treatment before performing chemical peels. This lessens the barrier on skin, so applied products are better able to penetrate and improve skin’s appearance. 

What is Cosmelan?

Cosmelan treatment can be an improvement of the anti-aesthetic skin blemishes with a very high safety margin. Cosmelan Depigmentation treatment’s principal action is the reduction of melanin patches on the face – melasma . Also called chloasma if the pigmentation occurs with pregnancy Cosmelan Depigmentation treatment involves a very versatile, dynamic process which is easily adapted to the needs of each individual patient.

Cosmelan is a topical treatment that is available through skincare professionals. The treatment is used to hyper-pigmentation (dark areas on the skin) and some types of skin scarring. Cosmelan may be used on the face or on the body. There are two mechanisms of action that Cosmelan uses to reduce hyper-pigmentation. It exfoliates the skin to even skin tone and it inhibits the production of melanin. Melanin is what produces color in the skin. Cosmelan comes in a kit that contains four products. The four products are a degreasing solution, Cosmelan mask, Cosmelan cream and a Vitamin K cream.

 *Individual Results May Vary

A skincare professional applies the Cosmelan mask to the skin. The mask is a strong topical cream mask that works to quickly reduce hyper-pigmentation. After the skincare professional applies the mask, the patient is sent home with instructions on when and how to reduce it. The mask is worn for 4 to 8 hours. The more damage to the skin, the longer the mask is worn. The mask is only applied once at the beginning of the Cosmelan treatment.

Skin Resurfacing and Rejuvenation in Newport Beach

We always perform a thorough consultation prior to recommending treatment for your skin. Most treatments take 30-45 minutes, during which we apply a solution to the skin on your face, chest, hands, or neck — wherever you need it most — to promote skin re-surfacing for brighter, more even looking tone.

After treatment, skin may show some redness as dead skin cells shed. It’s important to protect skin with sunscreen and apply lotion to soothe and promote best results. Make sure your skin stays moisturized during the week following the procedure to avoid any potential complications. Results can be seen as early as a day or two after your chemical peel appointment.
