Chemical Peel Treatment


	Chemical Peels can treat sun damage, acne and acne scarring, age spots and wrinkling
	They also improve skin texture and exfoliate the skin
	May be used on the back and chest as well as the face

In my practice I often use chemical peels to augment almost any other treatment I perform as it is a good way to remove the dead skin cells and improve the efficacy of other treatments. I also use chemical peels for photo-aging, such as age spots and wrinkles. Chemical peels are also very affective at improving acne and acne scarring. They are also very effective at exfoliating and smoothing the skin, as well as improving the texture of the skin.

Another benefit of using chemical peels is that they can be used not only on the face, but on the chest and back as well. I almost exclusively use the alpha-hydroxy acid peels, glycolic acid peels and their relatives.
