Chemical Peels

A chemical peel is a dermatological procedure employed to improve the aesthetic appeal of skin on the face, hands, and neck. The application of a chemical solution works to exfoliate a person’s skin and then the affected skin falls away. The skin which is exposed after the treatment will have fewer wrinkles and fine lines as well as a younger-looking appearance. There are three forms of chemical peels: superficial, medium, and deep.

• Superficial- these are used to address mild skin discoloration and roughness
• Medium- these can improve wrinkles, moderate discoloration, fade age spots, and minimize freckles
• Deep- these peels address dark freckles, shallow scars, age spots, and moderate wrinkles and creases

Deep chemical peels can only be done a single time and will necessitate a much longer recovery period.
