Chemical Peels

Chemical peels come in a range of strengths, and certain peels are more effective at correcting particular skin issues.

• Light peels provide exfoliation and remove dead skin cells on the surface. They are used to treat fine wrinkling, areas of dryness, uneven pigmentation and acne. Patients may need weekly treatments for the first 4-6 weeks to achieve the look they desire, followed by monthly treatments to maintain their results.

• Medium depth peels penetrate deeper than just the top layer of skin to treat age spots, rough skin, melasma, and moderate-to-severe skin imperfections. The procedure may need to be repeated every 6 to 12 months to maintain optimal results.

• Deep peels are the most aggressive approach to chemical peel treatment, and are used to treat severe skin wrinkling, deep scars and facial irregularities. A deep peel is normally a one-time procedure, with results lasting 10 years or longer.

The deeper the peel, the more dramatic the results and the longer the recovery time. Shallower peels treat more superficial issues and involve a much quicker recovery.
