What are Chemical Peels?
Kirn Plastic Surgery Center offers a wide range of chemical peels and skin rejuvenation procedures, many of which are coordinated with our Skin Care Center. The selection of a peel is carefully customized to the patient’s individual needs and skin type. Generally, the deeper the peel, the longer the recovery time, but the more significant the improvement in the skin’s appearance. Therefore, choosing the right peel is the first, and perhaps most important, step in the process.
Deep Peels for Skin Rejuvenation
Deeper peels are performed by Dr. Kirn and Dr. Al Bayati, offering more dramatic results for those seeking significant skin rejuvenation. Some peels are designed to be repeated over time for cumulative benefits. Often, the effectiveness of a chemical peel can be enhanced by pre-treating the skin with specific topical skin care products.
Personalized Chemical Peel Consultations
A consultation with Dr. Kirn, Dr. Al Bayati, skin care nurse Karen Sims RN, or our licensed esthetician Blakely Ardery is the first step in determining whether a chemical peel is right for you and which type of peel will best meet your goals.
Convenient, Low-Downtime Chemical Peels
The majority of chemical peels in our practice are performed within the Skin Care Center and are designed to keep the skin refreshed with minimal to no downtime. For more detailed information, please visit the Skincare section of our website.

What is Diamond Glow?

Diamond Glow is effective in improving the appearance of fine lines, hyperpigmentation, acne, and uneven skin tone.
Does Diamond Glow Hurt?

Diamond Glow is a comfortable and painless procedure. The diamond-tipped wand gently glides over the skin, providing a soothing sensation as it works. Most patients find the treatment to be relaxing, and there is no need for numbing agents.

Diamond Glow requires no downtime, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules. Patients can immediately return to their daily activities with a refreshed and revitalized complexion.

Micro-Peel
A medium chemical peel that penetrates beyond the epidermis, reaching the upper layer of the dermis, the papillary dermis, achieving a final depth in the skin of .45-.60mm. The destruction of these upper layers of the skin causes an increase in collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycan production as new tissue is generated to replace it. In addition, a medium chemical peel reaches levels in the skin that contain clusters of pigment and is able to break up these deposits of abnormal pigment, allowing them to be naturally removed from the skin.
