Why a Chemical Peel?
A facial chemical peel is a technique that removes various skin imperfections, such as wrinkles, acne and scars. The result is smoother, clearer skin that lasts for many months or years. The three main types of chemical peels are light, medium and deep. Light peels are designed to remove the top layer of skin known as the epidermis. Medium peels remove the epidermis and parts of the dermis layers. Deep peels are made for very deep wrinkles, scars and sun-damaged skin that reaches the deepest layers of skin. A deep skin peel is an invasive procedure that is still safer and has fewer side effects than many cosmetic surgery options.
