What are Chemical Peels?
A chemical peel is a technique aimed to enhance the skin’s appearance on the face, neck, or hands. It involves the application of a chemical solution that initiates the exfoliation process, leading to the outer layer of skin peeling off. This reveals new skin beneath that is typically smoother and shows fewer wrinkles compared to the older skin it replaces.
FAQs
What are the alternatives to chemical peels?
Alternatives to chemical peels include the HydraFacial, a non-invasive treatment that hydrates the skin, reduces dark spots, and smooths fine lines and wrinkles. Another option is Photorejuvenation, which is more effective for collagen regeneration and fading unwanted blood vessels, blotchy pigmentation, and red spots.
What should I do after a chemical peel?
After treatment, it’s important to protect your skin from sun exposure as it will be more sensitive. Using sunscreen and following an at-home skincare regimen recommended by your dermatologist will help maintain and prolong your results.
