Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are solutions applied to the skin to improve the appearance and texture. The solution applied causes the uppermost layers of skin to peel. Depending on what peeling agent is used (e.g. salicyclic acid, glycolic acid), this can minimize fine lines, freckles, age spots, mild scars, blotchiness, and certain acne lesions. Chemical peel products we use are from   Epionce® and   SkinCeuticals  ®.

Procedure

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.

Post-procedure

The downtime experienced is typically 7-10 days, depending on which peel was chosen. The amount of improvement varies and depends upon the initial condition of the patient’s skin. Significant improvement of damaged skin has been achieved, which can produce dramatic results.
