Chemical Peels

A chemical peel is a skin treatment that can be used on the face or body to diminish and potentially eliminate a wide range of skin conditions and to improve the general state and appearance of the skin.

Chemical peels are often used to minimize sun-damaged skin, irregular color (pigment), and superficial scars. The top layer of skin is removed with a chemical applied to the skin. By removing the top layer, the skin regenerates. This often improves its appearance. A dermatologist will recommend the most appropriate chemical peel depending on a person’s concerns and skin type.
