Chemical Peels
At SkinPhysicians & Surgeons we perform superficial and medium depth chemical peels.
- Superficial peels use either glycolic or salicylic acid, or Jessner's solution to help minimize fine wrinkles, lighten brown spots, even out skin tone, improve skin texture, and reduce acne blemished. Referred to as "lunchtime peels" many people can resume normal daily activities immediately following treatment.
- Medium depth peels are performed using tricholacetic acid. It produces more dramatic results but there is some downtime; for approximately five to seven days after the procedure, your skin will be peeling. You will keep the areas well moisturized and are instructed to try not to peel off the skin prematurely.
- Deep chemical peels At SkinPhysicians & Surgeons, we do not perform deep chemical peels, but instead perform a more predictable and superior option: CO2 laser resurfacing.
