Turn Back the Clock With Chemical Peels
How can you improve the look and condition of skin without surgery or expensive creams? Chemical peels are a very cost-effective way to refresh and rejuvenate skin with little discomfort or downtime. These treatments involve the application of a safe, chemical-based solution that helps remove dead skin cells, revealing a fresh, new layer of skin. Chemical peels are most often performed on the face, but may also be used on other areas of the body affected by aging or sun damage.
You may be a candidate for a chemical peel if you want to:
- Reduce fine lines around the eyes and mouth
- Minimize acne and scarring
- Minimize freckles, sunspots, or other areas of hyperpigmentation
- Promote even skin tone
Depending on your needs, your cosmetic surgeon will choose the type of solution that will work best. (Salicyclic acid, lactic acid, and glycolic acid are a few options.) Together, you will also choose the depth of peel — superficial, medium, or deep. After the application and removal of the solution, you may feel a stinging or warm sensation. When redness or irritation subsides, you’ll notice a smoother feel and a more even skin tone.
To find out more about chemical peels, schedule a complimentary consultation with facial rejuvenation expert Dr. Nirav Savalia at Finesse Aesthetic and Plastic Surgery.
