Custom-Blended Chemical Peels

Various chemical peeling solutions have been offered for years as a corrective approach to unwanted skin flaws. Peeling agents may be used over the entire body to address skin conditions resulting from mild scarring, irregular pigmentation and sun exposure. The type of condition being treated and the level of desired improvement determine the intensity and depth of a chemical peel. Longer recovery periods typically follow deeper peels.

Glycolic and Salicylic acid peels are considered “mild”, take a nominal time to apply, and allow normal activities to be resumed immediately. Trichloroacitic Acid (TCA) peels are of medium depth and can correct sun damage, freckling, pigmentation irregularities, and may improve fine lines and small scars. The recovery period for a TCA peel is typically 7 to 10 days. Chemical peels are often used in conjunction with a series of microdermabrasion procedures to enhance the end result of the peeling.
