Facials & Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are skin rejuvenation treatments that use chemical substances, applied in incremental layers onto the skin, to cause exfoliation of skin cells and optimal cell turnover. They are performed in a relaxed office setting, proceeding slowly at the patient’s own pace. Like laser resurfacing, they are used for skin conditions such as redness, acne, pigment spots, and signs of aging, but they are gentler and less aggressive, and do not involve the heat of laser devices. Triple board-certified cosmetic surgeon Dr. Jennifer Matthesen offers chemical peels to men and women in Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Ponte Vedra Beach and the neighboring communities in St. Johns County.

Dr. Jennifer Matthesen and her team at Matthesen Cosmetic Surgery offer CO2 fractional laser skin resurfacing treatments to patients in search of permanent improvements in scars, blemishes and signs of aging skin. CO2 laser skin resurfacing works by exfoliating and removing the top layers of the skin, while triggering the body’s natural healing processes to reveal refreshed, smoother, healthier skin underneath. CO2 laser also has a role in treating precancerous skin lesions (known as actinic keratoses or “AKs”).
