TYPES OF PEELS

LIGHT PEELS

A light chemical peel provides patients with the gentlest form of chemical peel available. It will still remove a layer of your skin, but is the chemical solution (acid) is not left on the skin for very long. You may leave our office with slightly rouged skin, but should be able to return to your normal routine. The skin may be tender to the touch and peel for 3 – 5 days. Your dermatologist may recommend several treatments for best results.

MEDIUM PEELS

Go a little deeper with a medium-depth chemical peel. This will dissolve several layers of your skin to eliminate some of the deeper skin imperfections. You may exhibit moderate-to-severe facial lines and wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven skin tone. Your dermatologist may use a trichloreacetic acid-based chemical peel at this depth. You may need to take some time off for this type of peel as the recovery period is about 10 days. The results after will be more dramatic than a lighter peel.

DEEP PEELS

Even though this is a nonsurgical treatment, it can be quite invasive. A deep peel may require a local anesthetic or a numbing agent before the chemicals (phenol acids) are applied to the skin. This type of peel will penetrate your skin to target severe lines and wrinkles, tone issues, age spots, and deep acne scars. Many patients need 2 weeks to recover from this peel. Your dermatologist will only recommend one deep peel (not multiple appointments) for your treatment plan.
