Chemical Peels

Chemical peels can advance the skin's look. A chemical solution is applied to the skin, which makes it “burn” and sooner or later peels off. The neo covering slin is generally softer, smoother and less wrinkled than the pre-procedure skin.

Chemical peels can be done on the face, neck, or hands. They can be used to:

• Take care of wrinkles due to sun damage and aging.
• Advance the appearance of mild scars.
• Lessen fine lines under the eyes and in the region of the lips
• Treat acne scars.
• Decrease aging spots, freckles, and dark patches (melasma) due to pregnancy or taking birth control pills.
• Improve the look and feel of skin.

After a chemical peel, the skin is temporarily more sensitive to the sun, so apply sunscreen every day. It should say "broad-spectrum", meaning it protects against the sun's UVA and UVB rays. There is downtime for the procedure of 4-7 days.
