Chemical Peels
Chemical peels have been used for many decades to not only improve the appearance of skin on the surface due to chronic sun exposure, but to also address the natural aging process that deteriorates our skin over the years . Side effects of chemical peeling include peeling for up to a week and perhaps redness for a few weeks, depending on the depth of the peel. However, makeup can be used during the healing period to mask the redness. Treatments with different chemicals at various strengths are offered, targeting different depths of the skin. Depending on the depth of penetration, chemical peels can be used to improve fine lines or deeper wrinkles, melasma, hyper-pigmentation, acne scars, or age spots, and can also enhance the overall texture of one's skin.
