Chemical Peel
Many people hear the term “chemical peel” and make two wrong assumptions. First, they think this treatment actually peels away the skin. Second, they think that “chemical” means something extremely harsh or even toxic. Neither is true. Chemical peels do not peel away anything; they simply dissolve and exfoliate the uppermost layer of the epidermis, revealing a new layer of rejuvenated skin. And the most commonly used peel solutions today—the alpha-hydroxy (AHA) acid found in citric fruit and the glycolic acid found in sugar cane—are anything but harsh. In fact, you can undergo a chemical peel during your lunch break and return to work that very afternoon without anybody being the wiser. (Although you might get comments about how much “healthier” you look.)
This isn’t to say that anybody can do a chemical peel procedure. As with any procedure involving your skin, you need to be in the hands of a professional. Peels are used to treat a variety of skin conditions—fine lines, age spots and uneven pigmentation, acne and acne scarring—but which peel is right for your very particular skin situation is a decision you should make only with the help of someone experienced and knowledgeable about all the options available. Call today to schedule a skin consultation with a physician. You can safely assume your skin will thank you for it.
