Chemical peel.  Those two words sound daunting but rest assured- chemical peels can do amazing things for your skin.  Chemical peels help to maintain the skin’s youthful appearance by exfoliating the top layer of skin to reveal the healthier skin below.  There are several chemical peel options meant to obtain different outcomes and they come in a range of strengths.

Chemical peels are good for treating and improving the look and texture of dull skin including:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Melasma-skin discoloration caused by pregnancy (sometimes referred to as “the mask of pregnancy”) or birth control.  Sun exposure worsens this condition.
• Enlarged pores
• Sun damage
• Certain types of acne

Many patients find that a chemical peel is cost-effective and can achieve similar outcomes compared to other, more invasive procedures.

The recovery period after a chemical peel depends on the intensity of the peel: the deeper the peel, the longer the recovery period. Usually it averages a few days to two weeks.

Your skin care professional will determine which to use by evaluating your skin type and the amount of damage you have.
