What is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is a technique designed to remove the dead skin cells from the skin's surface layer and re-stimulate the regenerative process. The solution chosen is individualized according to your skin type, skin color and the condition being treated.
Are there any side effects?
Side effects occur rarely and are most often temporary. They can include redness and uneven pigmentation.
What is the right type for you?
Chemical peels vary from superficial to deep depending on your situation and goals. We will select the solution for you based on your individual needs. Deeper peels have the most dramatic effect but also have a longer recovery time versus the superficial treatments.
Reminders
During the week prior to and after your chemical peel it's best to:
- Avoid sun exposure
- Do not wax
- Stop use of Retin A
