Demystifying Chemical Peels: What to Expect
Curious about chemical peels for acne scars or rejuvenation? Learn about the process, benefits, and aftercare.
A chemical peel is a cosmetic procedure that can improve the appearance of the skin on the face, neck, or hands. A chemical solution is applied to the skin that causes it to exfoliate and eventually peel off. The new, regenerated skin is usually smoother and less wrinkled than the old skin. Peels are excellent for treating acne scars, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and sun damage. The procedure involves a slight stinging sensation, and post-peel care is crucial, involving gentle cleansing and strict sun avoidance. To see if a chemical peel is right for you, a consultation with our dermatologist is essential.
