Chemical peels are an ideal way to improve the overall skin quality, texture, tone, and pigment. The type of acid applied and the level of depth can vary from superficial to full depth customized by the Doctor. It is important to have your procedure performed by a core physician who is proficient in diagnosis of skin conditions and comfortable with all depths and acids as they can have undesirable adverse events. Down time varies based on the strength/type of peel. Phenol peels are only offered by a few select MDs and require a down-time of 7-10 days with incredible life-long results.
