Facilities : Chemical Peel
- A chemical peel is most commonly performed for cosmetic reasons—to enhance your appearance and your self confidence.
- Chemical peels lighten age spots and sun spots, repair photo damage, soften acne facial scars, and even control acne.
- Chemical peels involve the use of high and low concentrations of various fruity acids or buffered compounds to reduce fine wrinkles, blotchy pigment spots, rough skin, and even some types of acne.
- Chemical peels noticeably smooth the skin's surface, and minimize fine lines and wrinkles. They also work to enhance the effect of topical anti-aging and acne medications.
- Typically, a series of three to six chemical peels are performed, two to four weeks apart, to achieve the desired result. To maintain the results, chemical peels are performed once every two to three months.
- The advantage of having a series of superficial peels is that they can accomplish the same result as deeper peels with a minimum of discomfort and a shorter recovery period.
- In fact, after superficial peels, you can go to work with only slight redness and peeling in most cases. However, sometimes deeper peels are needed for a person with a great amount of sun damage.
