A chemical peel is one of the most popular, minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatments available today. This technique can be used to improve the look and feel of skin on the face, neck, and hands through deep exfoliation. During treatment, the uppermost layers of the skin are removed to reveal younger, healthier-looking skin underneath.

As time passes, nearly everyone begins to accumulate some degree of dead skin cells and other impurities in their pores. This blockage can result in a wide variety of skin problems, including acne, blackheads, whiteheads, and oiliness.

Chemical peels rejuvenate the skin through gentle and powerful exfoliation. During treatment, carefully chosen chemicals are applied to the skin. These chemicals open up the pores and help remove impurities from them.

Through this exfoliation, a chemical peel can:

Improve texture and tone
Clear up acne and blemish breakouts
Correct hyperpigmentation and sun damage
Improve the appearance of superficial scars

What Should I Expect from a Chemical Peel?

Every chemical peel treatment can be customized to each patient’s skin type and skin care needs. Depending on the current state of a patient’s skin and the specific problems they’d like to address, the chemical peel can either be of light, medium, or strong intensity.

While chemical peels feature no extended period of downtime, side effects like redness, crusting, stinging, and dryness are common. Typically, these subside within a week of receiving treatment.

Am I a Candidate?

Nearly anyone that is interested in improving the overall quality, tone, and texture of their skin is a potential candidate for a chemical peel. However, fair-skinned patients are usually able to benefit the most from this treatment.

If you’re interested in rejuvenating your skin without surgery, needles, or downtime, contact River Region Dermatology and Laser today to schedule a consultation appointment.
