Are you looking for a way to battle the effects of extreme sun exposure on your face? Are your wrinkles minimally responsive to traditional treatments? You may be a candidate for a deep chemical peel.
Also known as a Phenol peel, named after the type of acid applied to the skin during the treatment, a deep chemical peel burns off the top layer of skin and essentially peels away imperfections that exist on the surface.
The best part about a deep chemical peel – the results can last for years. Can you imagine that? A single treatment can rid you of unwanted damage, scars, discoloration and deep wrinkles. Because this process removes layers of skin, there will be a period during your recovery where skin will slough, or peel. Expect that to last a week to 10 days, followed by redness of the skin for one to six months. While the initial aftermath of a deep chemical peel may be uncomfortable, the benefits are beyond measure.
Some skin tones and textures are not well-suited for the deep chemical peel process. Are you a candidate for a deep chemical peel? We’d be happy to help you decide.
