1. What is a chemical peel?

A chemical peel is a professional exfoliation treatment that uses a carefully selected solution to remove damaged surface cells and encourage fresh, healthier-looking skin to emerge. At Dr. Mantor’s Wrinkle & Weight Solutions, each peel is selected according to your skin type, concerns and desired downtime.

2. What skin concerns can chemical peels improve?

Chemical peels may improve dullness, rough texture, fine lines, clogged pores, acne, uneven tone, sun damage, age spots and superficial acne scars. Because different concerns require different formulations, we recommend beginning with a personalized consultation.

3. What types of chemical peels do you offer?

Our Westerville practice offers several professional peel options, which may include SkinMedica® peels, Obagi Blue Peel Radiance®, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, retinoic acid and mixed fruit-acid formulations. We will recommend an appropriate peel based on your skin and goals.

4. Will my skin visibly peel after treatment?

Not every chemical peel causes dramatic peeling. A lighter peel may produce mild dryness or flaking, while a stronger formulation can cause more noticeable peeling beginning approximately 48 to 72 hours after treatment. The amount of peeling does not necessarily determine the quality of your results.

5. How much downtime should I expect?

Downtime depends on the formulation and strength of your peel. Some patients return to normal activities immediately, while others experience several days of redness, tightness, dryness or visible flaking. We will explain what to expect before your treatment.

6. When will I see results from a chemical peel?

Many patients notice brighter, smoother-looking skin after the initial peeling or flaking has resolved. Improvements in tone, texture and clarity may continue as the skin renews. A series may be recommended for concerns such as acne, pigmentation or accumulated sun damage.

7. How many chemical peels will I need?

Your ideal treatment plan depends on your skin’s condition and the results you want to achieve. A single peel can provide a refreshing boost, while a customized series may produce more significant improvement. We can also recommend physician-dispensed skincare to help maintain your results.

8. Can chemical peels be performed on areas other than the face?

Yes. Depending on the peel and your skin, professional chemical peels may also be used on the neck, décolletage, hands, back or other appropriate areas affected by acne, discoloration, rough texture or sun damage.

9. How should I care for my skin after a chemical peel?

Use gentle skincare, moisturize as directed and avoid picking or pulling at peeling skin. Daily broad-spectrum sunscreen is essential because newly treated skin can be more sensitive to sunlight. Avoid harsh exfoliants, retinoids and other irritating products until our team tells you it is safe to resume them.

10. Is a chemical peel right for everyone?

Chemical peels are not appropriate for every patient or every skin condition. Certain medications, active infections, open skin, recent procedures, pregnancy, breastfeeding or a tendency toward abnormal scarring may affect treatment recommendations. Our team will review your history and examine your skin during a complimentary consultation before recommending a peel.

What is microneedling?

Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that creates precise, controlled microchannels in the skin. This activates the body’s natural repair response and encourages new collagen and elastin production, helping the skin become smoother, firmer and more even-looking.

When will I see the results?

Patients notice an immediate “glow” to their skin. Visible changes to the skin develop over the course of several days and weeks. Results continue to improve up to 6 months after the treatment as collagen production continues.

What skin concerns can microneedling improve?

Microneedling may improve the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, rough texture, uneven tone, sun damage, mild skin laxity and stretch marks. Your treatment will be customized according to your skin and specific concerns.

Does microneedling hurt?

A topical numbing product may be applied before treatment to make the procedure more comfortable. Most patients describe the sensation as light pressure, vibration or a mild scratching feeling. Sensitivity can vary depending on the treatment area and depth used.

How much downtime should I expect?

Redness, warmth, sensitivity and mild swelling are common immediately afterward and can resemble a sunburn. These effects generally improve within a few days, although recovery varies depending on treatment intensity and individual skin response. Detailed aftercare instructions will be provided.

How many microneedling treatments will I need?

The recommended number of sessions depends on your skin, goals and the concern being treated. Some patients choose occasional treatments for general rejuvenation, while acne scars, deeper wrinkles or stretch marks may require a series spaced several weeks apart.

What areas can be treated with microneedling?

Microneedling is most commonly performed on the face, but it may also be used on the neck, décolletage, hands, abdomen and other areas with scars, stretch marks or uneven texture. We will determine whether the treatment is appropriate for the area during your consultation.

How many treatments will I need?

Some patients only require a single treatment, once per year to achieve optimal results. However, it is recommended for most patients to receive a series of 2-3 treatments spaced about 6-8 weeks apart. For patients with deep wrinkles, advanced photo-aging, stretch marks or acne scars it is recommended to receive 6-8 sessions at 6-week intervals.

When will I see results from microneedling?

Some patients notice a fresh glow after the initial redness subsides. Improvements in tone and texture develop gradually as the skin produces and remodels collagen. Results may continue to improve for several weeks or months following treatment.

Can microneedling be combined with PRP or skin boosters?

Yes. When appropriate, microneedling may be enhanced with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or specially selected products intended for use with microneedling. These options can support a more personalized skin-renewal treatment. We will recommend the safest and most suitable approach during your complimentary consultation.

What is EXILIS Ultra 360 ?

Cutting-edge, skin tightening technology, utilizing Radiofrequency or RF

This non-surgical skin tightening device can dramatically improve the appearance of wrinkles, sagging skin and excess fat for both the face and body!

Radio frequency (RF) uses thermal energy that works in a couple of ways.

Firstly it speeds up the metabolic activity of fat cells to stimulate

the production and secondly, it helps with the strengthening of the collagen network.

The result is the shrinking of targeted fat cells and improved skin texture!

Patients see shrinkage excess skin, improved elasticity & overall

improved skin quality!

Common treatment areas for EXILIS Ultra 360 are those pesky love handles

(seriously, there really isn't anything lovely about them at all!),

chest, abdomen, neck, jowls, face, arms (bat wings or Bingo arms), thighs, hips,

buttocks and even knees!

The procedure is very comfortable as the system heats the tissues of the targeted area and is

absolutely pain free.

Tighten Skin and Contour Stubborn Areas From Head to Toe

Exilis Ultra 360® is a comfortable, non-invasive treatment that combines radiofrequency and ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen, tighten lax skin and improve the appearance of small, stubborn fat deposits.

Exilis can also rejuvenate and contour many other areas of the face and body—with no surgery and little to no downtime.

Exilis Ultra 360® Questions and Answers

What is Exilis Ultra 360 at Wrinkle and Weight Solutions?

This incredible technology combines both radio frequency and ultrasound to treat any area of the body from head to toe for skin tightening as well as toning and fat reduction where needed. It can be customized to each individual need with incredible results. It results in collagen break down with new collagen formation.

Treatments are separated by anywhere from one or two to six weeks apart depending on what we are trying to achieve. Treatments last typically from 10 to 15 minutes each and can easily be done during a lunch break because there is no downtime whatsoever with these treatments.

Results can be seen in as early as 1 to 2 treatments in areas such as around the eyes but improvement continues over several months. This is due to new collagen formation by the body that is stimulated with these modalities.

Unlike other radio frequency devices that can often cause significant pain upon the treatment, this is extremely comfortable due to the ultrasound combination and simply feels like a hot stone massage that is very relaxing during treatment.
How does Dr. Mantor use Exilis Ultra 360®?

At Dr. Mantor’s Wrinkle & Weight Solutions, Exilis Ultra 360® treatments are customized to the patient rather than performed using a one-size-fits-all protocol.

How many Exilis treatments will Dr. Mantor recommend?

Your treatment plan will depend on the area being treated, the amount of skin laxity or localized fat present and your desired outcome. Some patients notice an early improvement after their first few appointments, while collagen-related results continue developing over time.

Micro-Needling — Permanent Make-Up Procedure in Columbus, OH

Gently Exfoliate Dull Skin for a Smoother, Brighter Glow

Treatments are customized to your skin type, sensitivities and aesthetic goals. Microdermabrasion is commonly performed on the face, but it may also be used on the neck, décolletage, hands and other appropriate areas of the body.

Microdermabrasion may help reduce the appearance of:

Dull or tired-looking skin
Rough or uneven texture
Mild sun damage
Superficial discoloration and age spots

Skin Lesion Evaluation and Removal in Westerville, Ohio

Physician-Led Care for Bothersome or Concerning Skin Growths

Skin lesions can be harmless yet irritating, uncomfortable or cosmetically distracting—but some changes deserve closer medical evaluation. Dr. Gina Mantor personally examines each lesion to determine its characteristics and recommend an appropriate next step. Depending on the finding, treatment may be performed in our Westerville office, a biopsy may be recommended or you may be referred to a dermatologist for specialized care.

Types of Skin Lesions We Evaluate

Dr. Mantor evaluates a variety of common skin growths and spots, including:

Skin tags
Warts
Actinic keratoses
Seborrheic keratoses
Moles and nevi
Sun spots and solar lentigines
Cherry angiomas

Treatment Personalized to the Lesion

The appropriate treatment depends on the lesion’s type, size, location and appearance. Options may include cryotherapy, cauterization, simple removal, excision, biopsy, prescription topical medication or a combination of approaches. Dr. Mantor will explain her findings, discuss your options and let you know what to expect before proceeding.

Any lesion that is new, changing, bleeding, painful, irregular or slow to heal should receive prompt medical attention. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Mantor for a personalized evaluation.

DermalPen Microneedling in Westerville, Ohio

Renew Your Skin by Stimulating Natural Collagen and Elastin

DermalPen microneedling is a minimally invasive skin-rejuvenation treatment that creates precise, controlled microchannels in the skin. These microchannels activate the body’s natural repair response, encouraging the production of collagen and elastin—the proteins that help skin look smoother, firmer and more resilient.

As the skin renews itself, microneedling can gradually improve its overall tone, texture and appearance without surgery. Each treatment is customized according to your skin, concerns and desired results.

What Can Microneedling Improve?

DermalPen microneedling may help improve the appearance of:

Fine lines and early wrinkles
Acne scars and other superficial scars
Uneven or rough skin texture
Enlarged pores
Uneven skin tone
Sun-damaged skin
Mild skin laxity
Stretch marks
Dull or tired-looking skin

Microneedling can be performed on the face, neck, décolletage and other appropriate areas of the body.

How Does Microneedling Renew the Skin?
The treatment initiates a natural healing process that takes place gradually. The skin first responds to the controlled microchannels by releasing growth factors and beginning cellular repair. New collagen, elastin and other structural components are then produced. During the final remodeling stage, this newly formed support network matures, helping the skin appear smoother, firmer and more even.

Because collagen renewal takes time, results continue to develop during the weeks and months following treatment. A personalized series may be recommended based on the condition being treated and the degree of improvement desired.

Enhance Microneedling With PRP or a Customized Skin Booster

When appropriate, microneedling may be combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or specially selected topical skin-renewal products. The temporary microchannels created during treatment can enhance the delivery of products intended for use with microneedling, while PRP uses components obtained from your own blood to support the skin’s natural healing response.

During your complimentary consultation, we will evaluate your skin and determine whether traditional microneedling or an enhanced treatment is best suited to your goals.

LATISSE® Prescription Eyelash Treatment in Westerville, Ohio

Grow Longer, Thicker and Darker-Looking Natural Eyelashes

LATISSE® (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution) 0.03% is an FDA-approved prescription treatment for inadequate or insufficient eyelashes, also known as eyelash hypotrichosis. With consistent use, LATISSE® gradually increases the length, thickness and darkness of your natural upper eyelashes—without the time and maintenance required for extensions.

When Can You Expect LATISSE® Results?

Eyelash growth occurs gradually, and individual results vary. You may begin noticing longer-looking lashes within the first several weeks, with more visible improvements in fullness and darkness as treatment continues. Full results are generally evaluated after approximately 16 weeks of daily use.

Weeks 4–8: Early improvements in eyelash length may become noticeable.
Weeks 8–12: Lashes may begin to appear fuller and darker.
Around week 16: Most patients can evaluate their overall results.

Continued use is necessary to maintain the effect. If LATISSE® is discontinued, the eyelashes are expected to gradually return to their previous appearance.

How Is LATISSE® Applied?

LATISSE® is applied once nightly to clean skin along the base of the upper eyelashes using the supplied sterile applicators. It should not be applied to the lower eyelid. Dr. Mantor will explain how to use the product correctly and determine whether it is appropriate for you.

Because LATISSE® is available by prescription, patients should be evaluated before use. Possible side effects include itching, eye redness, irritation, dryness and eyelid skin darkening. It may also cause unwanted hair growth where the solution repeatedly contacts the skin. Increased brown pigmentation of the iris has occurred with bimatoprost and may be permanent. Make sure to tell Dr. Mantor about any eye conditions, eye-pressure medications or planned eye procedures.
