Chemical Peels and Skin Care

Chemical peels and skin treatment plans are a type of skin resurfacing treatment that uses chemical solutions to remove the outer layers of damaged or aged skin. The procedure can improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, acne, pigmentation and age spots, and improve the overall texture and tone of the skin.

Chemical peels are available in different strengths, from light peels to medium and deep peels. The type of peel and strength used will depend on the individual's skin type, condition and desired outcome. Light peels, such as glycolic or lactic acid peels, are used for mild skin imperfections and to improve overall skin health and texture. Medium peels, such as TCA peels, are used for more significant skin imperfections such as sun damage, fine wrinkles and age spots. Deep peels, such as phenol peels, are used for severe skin imperfections, deep wrinkles and acne scars.

The procedure is performed in the office, takes around 30 minutes to 1 hour, and it's done under local anesthesia. Recovery time depends on the type and strength of the peel, but most patients can expect to return to normal activities within a few days. The results of the treatment can be seen within a week and continue to improve over the next few weeks, as the new skin regenerates.
Chemical peels and skin treatment plans can help to improve the overall appearance of the skin, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, acne, pigmentation and age spots, and improve the overall texture and tone of the skin. They can also be used in combination with other facial rejuvenation treatments such as Botox, dermal fillers, or laser resurfacing to achieve more comprehensive results.
