Chemical peels are a minimally invasive way to improve your skin’s texture and tone and restore its youthful appearance. Learn how chemical peels work and four reasons why you should consider adding a peel to your skin care routine.
We offer several types of peels to address a range of skin issues. Board-certified dermatologist David A. Bushore, MD, can determine if you’re a candidate for a:
Superficial peels exfoliate the very top layer of your skin to address a dull complexion and improve your skin’s texture.
A medium peel removes the top and middle layers of your skin to minimize the appearance of fine lines, age spots, and other skin discolorations.
A deep peel exfoliates deep layers of your skin. We use croton oil, which offers the most dramatic anti-aging benefits to restore your skin’s youthful appearance.
A deep peel is the most invasive type of peel, and it requires 8-12 weeks of healing. It’s also a treatment that is usually done once, as the benefits can last for up to 10 years.
Chemical peels are an effective way to address many common skin flaws that occur from sun damage and the natural aging process. Here are four reasons to consider adding a chemical peel to your skin care routine:
Collagen is an essential protein that helps keep skin healthy. Applying the chemical solution to your face stimulates your body’s natural wound healing processes, which triggers your body to produce new collagen.
The extra collagen supports your skin from the inside and helps to firm skin and give it a more youthful, dewy glow.
A chemical peel can help treat acne by decreasing oil production, destroying bacteria, and easing skin inflammation.
Following a peel, your skin may also absorb topical acne treatments more efficiently to prevent acne breakouts.
Chemical peels can address discoloration and hyperpigmentation caused by sun damage and skin conditions, such as melasma.
Light and medium peels can reduce the appearance of age spots, sunspots, and even freckles.
Chemical peels minimize the appearance of scars from acne and minor injuries. A peel also triggers new collagen growth to firm up skin and smooth out mild to moderate wrinkles and fine lines.
