Chemical peels are well known for helping reverse many signs of sun damage, aging, and other skin conditions like discoloration (or hyperpigmentation). Peels can improve the appearance of skin by removing dead skin cells and revealing healthy new skin that was waiting underneath. Even better, peels can be used on numerous parts of the body. The face, the neck, the chest, and the back can be treated with a peel to remove fine lines, wrinkles, scarring from breakouts, and other hyperpigmentation. A series of peels may be recommended to you, depending on the skin concerns you have and the results you’re looking for.
Almost anyone can have a chemical peel done, regardless of skin type or color. While some beautifying treatments can only offer great result on a small amount of skin tones, chemical peels are miracle workers for almost any skin type. Granted, your skin color or type may cause us to recommend certain peels.
So many acids that can be used in a chemical peel treatment, including but not limited to, phenol, alphahydroxy acids (AHA), and trichloroacetic acid (TCA). All of the options ensure that we’re tailoring the peel to give you the results you want.
