Chemical Peels Q & A
What is a chemical peel?
A chemical peel is a specialized cosmetic dermatology treatment that involves applying a chemical solution to the skin. During the process, your doctor gently cleanses your skin and applies a chemical or combination of chemicals which exfoliate the skin and eventually peel off. Once a chemical peel is removed, new skin is able to generate for a healthier, smoother, younger-looking appearance. Patients find that after the chemical peel their skin is visibly less wrinkled and their complexion is brighter. Although chemical peels are usually performed on the face, they may also be used on the hands, neck, and chest.
What are the benefits of chemical peels?
Chemical peels are a minimally invasive and a safe way to experience rejuvenated skin without surgery. These treatments may be used to improve the effects of acne, age spots, discoloration, dull complexion, fine lines and wrinkles, freckles, rough skin, and sun-damaged skin. The results generally include a brighter complexion, less lines and wrinkles, more even skin tone, and smoother, softer skin.
