Should I Consider a Chemical Peel?

If you are not happy with the way your skin looks, but you are not sure invasive or surgical procedures are right for you, chemical peels might be the solution you have been seeking. A chemical peel is a non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that uses chemical solutions to remove the outer layers of the skin, revealing smoother, younger-looking skin underneath. A chemical peel is a great alternative to more invasive procedures.

What are chemical peels?

Chemical peels are non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatments that use different solutions to exfoliate the topmost layers of the skin to unveil healthy and unblemished new skin. While chemical peels are most often used on the face, they can also be applied to the neck or hands. Chemical peels come in different strengths. Light or superficial peels remove only the epidermis or topmost layer of the skin. They are used to treat uneven skin coloring, fine lines, acne, or dryness. Medium chemical peels remove both the epidermis and the upper layers of the dermis. They can be used to treat acne scars, uneven skin tone, and deeper wrinkles. Deep peels penetrate all the way to the inner layers of the skin. They can be used to treat very deep wrinkles and sun damage. Deep peels can even remove pre-cancerous growths, and their results can last for over ten years.

What can I expect?

Chemical peels are outpatient procedures done in Dr. Katzen’s office. While clients undergoing light chemical peels generally do not need anesthetics or sedatives. Patients those undergoing stronger peels may need IV sedation. Both treatment and recovery time will depend on the type of chemical peel. The stronger the solution, the longer both the treatment and the recovery time will be. Contact Dr. Katzen today for more information or to schedule your consultation.
