Chemical Peels (Chemexfoliation)

A chemical peel is a technique whereby a chemical solution is applied to the skin that causes it to exfoliate and eventually peel off. This technique is commonly used on skin on the face, neck, and hands and is very effective in reducing signs of aging, scarring and sun damage.

During a chemical peel, a chemical solution is applied to your skin, which makes the skin blister and peel off. This solution works to exfoliate the skin and boost collagen production for firmer, smoother looking skin.

The recovery time varies from patient to patient and will depend largely on what type of chemical peel is used. Flaking skin, irritation, and peeling usually occur for a few days after light peels. It can take up to six weeks for skin to return to its normal appearance following a medium or deep chemical peel.

Chemical peels are very effective in reducing signs of aging, scarring and sun damage, resulting in smoother, more youthful-looking skin.
