The Peer Skin Care Center Serving North Central New Jersey, Short Hills, Morristown, and Vicinity - Skin Treatments
Many individuals can benefit from subtle skin rejuvenation treatments to achieve effective aesthetic enhancement without the need to undergo invasive plastic surgery. Our New Jersey facility, serving Morristown, Short Hills, Livingston, Chatham and surrounding areas, has an onsite skin care center devoted to reducing skin damage brought on by age, sun exposure, and other conditions. Healthy skin can go a long way in making you look younger and more vibrant for many years to come.
Our Skin Care Center
The Peer Skin Center is a valuable component of our comprehensive plastic surgery facility here in New Jersey. Patients in the Short Hills and Morristown area are benefited by a complete skin care program that includes both in-office and home treatment options. Our staff of skin care consultants perform thorough skin cleansing, skin peels, skin hydration, and offer make-up instruction. These services provide a great benefit in maintaining the quality of young skin and improving the appearance of dry, oily, acne-prone, or sun damaged skin. Skin treatment plays an integral part in many surgical plans, as skin that is healthy responds better to surgery than skin that is dry or unhealthy. Our home care and prescription products, when indicated, are used by both women and men as an effective way of reducing a number of skin conditions, including:
-
Fine lines and wrinkles
-
Sun damage
-
Uneven pigmentation
-
Some forms of acne
We also provide treatment regimens that can help maintain healthy, young-looking skin. Skin treatments may be used on their own or in combination with plastic surgery procedures such as facelift, or eyelid surgery for those patients wishing to attain more significant aesthetic enhancement results. Please contact The Peer Group Plastic Surgery Center in the Short Hills, New Jersey area to schedule a consultation.

About the Skin
Your skin is made up of two layers, the epidermis and dermis. The top layer is called the epidermis, and is approximately 1/1000 of an inch thick. Since this micro thin layer is directly exposed to the effects of the environment (i.e., sun and pollution), it is frequently damaged, obscuring the skin’s clarity, tone, texture, and color. Exfoliation rids the skin of dead cells by removing this top layer. The second layer, the dermis, also affects the appearance of your skin. A healthy life style, consisting of exercise, a balanced diet, adequate rest, the use of sun blocks, avoidance of smoking, and limited alcohol consumption helps to maintain the dermis.
Skin Treatments
Our Skin Care Center offers a variety of skin care treatments to help improve and maintain your skin’s appearance, including:
Obagi®
Obagi® skin care products are some of the most effective and popular treatments to combat the signs of aging. Designed to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, age spots, sun damage and other imperfections in the skin, many Obagi® products can stimulate the production of healthy skin cells and give the skin a smoother, more youthful sheen. Our staff at The Peer Skin Center will be happy to discuss the many options within the Obagi® System that can help you with your specific needs.
La Roche-Posay Biomedic
Recommended by many dermatologists, La Roche-Posay skin care offers a range of products to address many common skin conditions. Rosacea, acne, eczema, dry skin, signs of aging and skin damage can be treated with the La Roche-Posay product line. La Roche-Posay uses the effective antioxidant known as selenium to reduce the appearance of skin damage and rejuvenate the face for a more youthful aesthetic. Contact The Peer Skin Center for a list of the many La Roche-Posay products we offer, including Biomedic, a powerful treatment for premature aging.
Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a non-chemical method of exfoliating the outer skin layers with a series of treatments two to three weeks apart. During the procedure, the outer layer of dead skin cells is gently suctioned off, allowing the healthy skin layer underneath to be brought forth. Microdermabrasion treatments typically last between 30 to 60 minutes.
Superficial Chemical Peels
Superficial chemical peels are a low-risk, pleasant, and convenient way of improving your skin’s appearance, and are sometimes referred to as “lunchtime peels.” Using alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), such as glycolic or lactic acid, or beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), such as salicylic acid; chemical peels transform your skin, leaving a fresh, healthy, youthful glow, softening fine lines, fading dark spots, and diminishing enlarged pores and acne scarring.

Skin Care after Plastic Surgery
The Peer Skin Care Center also helps our facial plastic surgery patients here in New Jersey achieve the best possible results. Our skin care programs have been developed to help prepare the skin in advance of surgery, as well as speed and optimize the healing process following surgery and skin resurfacing procedures. Skin care treatments can help eyelid surgery patients eliminate dark circles and fine wrinkles from under their eyes. The treatments can also smooth surface wrinkles for facelift and brow lift patients. When necessary, help is available with camouflage make-up so that skin care patients can resume their normal routines as quickly as possible.
