A chemical peel is a cosmetic treatment that removes the top layer of skin, helping to minimize wrinkles, dullness, hyperpigmentation, and scarring. It can also help skin disorders such as acne and rosacea. Depending on your cosmetic goals, a light, medium or deep chemical peel can be used to treat certain skin conditions or improve the appearance of the skin by improving its tone and texture. A mild chemical peel treatment exfoliates the skin with an alpha or beta hydroxy acid.
This can reveal a brighter, smoother and more refined complexion in a single treatment. Chemical peels are not suitable for sagging, bumps, deep scars, deep facial lines, and more severe wrinkles. Chemical peels can be done in the doctor's office or in a surgical center as an outpatient procedure. Different types of chemicals cause controlled injury, each penetrating through a different depth of skin and then peeling off to reveal a new layer of skin.
Chemical peels are an excellent solution for a wide range of skin problems, including wrinkles, acne and hyperpigmentation. In addition to addressing skin problems, a chemical peel will also stimulate new, fresh skin growth. The type of chemical peel used will be determined by your clinical esthetician during your initial consultation based on your skin type, current condition, lifestyle, and desired outcome. If you're looking for a way to have brighter, clearer, and younger looking skin, then a chemical peel might be the answer you're looking for.
