Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are excellent at tackling many skin problems; from wrinkles, to irregular skin pigmentation these are an effective solution. Chemical peels for acne scars are also a great treatment option because they help them fade. Many other conditions such as pre-cancerous growths in can also be targeted with chemical skin peels.
Following a deep cleanse, the chemical solution is applied to the area of the face. After the excess is removed, the procedure is repeated around the face. Results depend on each patient’s face and general skin health, with some people seeing drastic results and overall skin rejuvenation.
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.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peel is helpful for wrinkles, light acne scarring and irregular pigmentation such as freckles and age spots. Pre-cancerous conditions such as keratoses (thick, rough, reddish growths) also respond well to this procedure.

A skin rejuvenation program is often used in conjunction with either chemical peels or laser wrinkle removal to reduce the fine wrinkles of the face, lighten areas of hyperpigmentation and produce a softer texture to the skin. The program can be accomplished separately or in conjunction with the other procedures listed here and is followed at home by the patient after a consultation and a treatment plan is established for the patient’s cosmetic needs.
