What are chemical peels?
Our team describes chemical peels as a specialized exfoliating treatment that can be used in removing dead skin cells from the upper layer of the skin while revitalizing the skin’s appearance. This is achieved by applying specially chosen chemicals to the patient’s skin and cleansing it afterwards. The chemical peel works its magic over the course of several days, during which a patient may notice dead skin cells peeling and flaking off. This shedding process is essential to revealing the fresh, new skin cells underneath that improve overall appearance.
What are the benefits of a chemical peel?
There are many reasons why patients choose chemical peels for skin enhancement and revitalization. This fast and effective treatment can be used for addressing common skin problems such as:
- Acne breakouts
- Skin discoloration or pigmentation concerns
- Poor texture and tone
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Poor hydration of the skin
- Visible superficial scarring and imperfections
- Poor absorption of skincare products
Many patients will see improvement in their skin after just one chemical peel. However, some patients may opt to continue having peels done regularly to maintain the results. Chemical peels may be mild and superficial or deep and aggressive, depending on the desires of the patient. Those who undergo the deeper chemical peels can expect to take more time off from social activities as the skin heals and improves.
