Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are helpful for wrinkles, light acne scarring and irregular pigmentation such as freckles and age spots. Chemical Peels exfoliate the dead surface cells, smooth fine lines, produce a more even tone, and reduce or eliminate freckles, sun spots and other damage from sun exposure. Pre-cancerous conditions such as keratoses (thick, rough, reddish growths) also respond well to this procedure.

There are several types of chemical peels:

• Light peels to remove superficial wrinkles
• Medium peels

Deep peels for more severe conditions. There are many advantages of a chemical peel:

• Tightening of the skin
• Improvement of discoloration
• Little or no “down-time”. Also known as a “lunch-time” peel
• May be easily repeated several months apart

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.

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.
