Chemical Peels Done by Highly Trained Aestheticians

What Is a Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel is a skin-resurfacing procedure in which a chemical solution is applied to the skin to remove the top layers. This can help to improve the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, and uneven skin tone. Chemical peels can be performed at different depths, depending on the desired results. A superficial peel will only remove the outermost layer of skin, while a deeper peel will penetrate through several layers. The type of chemical solution used will also vary depending on the depth of the peel. Peels can include AHA, BHA, glycolic, lactic, salicylic, or trichloroacetic acids individually or combined to help patients achieve their desired result. The length of the procedure will also vary depending on the depth of the chemical peel, but most peels take 30-60 minutes. We recommend getting a chemical peel every 4-6 weeks to maintain results.
