Chemical peels can effectively improve a wide variety of skin conditions including:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Uneven pigmentation
- Shallow acne scars
- Sun-damaged skin
- Age spots
- Freckling
Depending on your skin type and the desired results, your physician may recommend a superficial, medium, or deep chemical peel. Once applied, the chemical encourages a separation and peeling of the outer layers of the skin. This stimulates the production of new skin from beneath. Most patients experience a warm to hot sensation which may last as long as ten minutes, followed by a stinging sensation.
Following a chemical peel, your new skin will be tighter, smoother and may be slightly lighter than it was. It is important that you avoid any exposure to the sun.
We also can advise you as to what cosmetics are appropriate and those which are not. Our skin therapist is an expert on these issues.
