Chemical peels use mild acids to renew the skin and reveal an improved complexion underneath. It is ideal for diminishing fine lines and wrinkles, improving the texture of the skin, evening out areas of discoloration, reducing redness, or clearing up acne.
How It Works
Chemical peels are ideal for diminishing fine lines and wrinkles, improving the texture of the skin, evening out areas of discoloration, reducing redness, or clearing up acne. The Medical Skin Clinic uses SkinCeuticals and VI Peel™ to help improve the appearance of your skin.
There are three basic levels of chemical peels: light, medium, and deep. Light chemical peels typically use alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) to soften fine lines and treat brown spots caused by sun damage. Medium peels usually contain trichloroacetic acid (TCA). This substance can treat moderate wrinkles, acne and acne scars, and pigmentation issues. Deep peels are used to address deep wrinkles, extensive sun damage, and severe acne scarring.
Once a treatment plan has been created, your skin will be cleansed and prepared. The chemical solution will be applied to your face and neck and left on your skin for a prescribed amount of time. You may feel a tingling sensation during a light or medium peel, or a burning sensation during a deep peel. Peels are done in a variety of ways; some are neutralized and removed while others are self-neutralizing.
