What Is A Chemical Peel?

Chemical peels are helpful for wrinkles, light acne scarring and irregular pigmentation such as freckles and age spots. Pre-cancerous conditions such as keratoses (thick, rough, reddish growths) also respond well to this procedure.

There are several types of chemical peels:

  • Light peels to remove superficial wrinkles
  • Medium peels
  • Deep peels for more severe conditions.

Chemical peels are also based on the concept of creating controlled skin “damage”. It removes the dead skin, which stimulates natural, regenerative skin processes and collagen production. This results in new, healthy skin growth, providing a younger look.

What Can I Expect During A Chemical Peel?

After thoroughly cleansing the skin, a small applicator is used to apply the chemical solution to an area of the face. Excess solution is removed and the procedure is repeated on other areas.

The amount of improvement varies and depends upon the initial condition of the patient’s skin, and some patients may need multiple treatments over time.

The application of the peel can take up to 30 minutes.  In the days following you will notice your skin begin to shed, the severity of this depends on the strength of your chemical peel.  Ask your aesthetician what to expect with the specific peel she applies.  A chemical peel can be done alone or in combination with another treatment like a HydraFacial.

Benefits Of Chemical Peels
