Facial chemical peels have become a popular med spa treatment to achieve clear and healthy skin. Fine lines, acne scars, sun spots and wrinkles can make you look older. Chemical peels are an excellent way to restore and rejuvenate your skin for a more youthful glow.

Types of Facial Chemical Peels

There are several types of facial chemical peels to choose from, each made from a different kind of acid solution. The chemical peel that is best for you will depend on your specific needs and the sensitivity of your skin. Mild peels are designed to correct surface layer skin issues such as acne, skin dehydration, fine lines and pigment irregularities. Medium to medium-deep peels work to correct deeper facial imperfections such as acne scars, sun damage and wrinkle folds. Deep peels provide the most intensive facial rejuvenation with long-lasting results.

The deeper the peel, the more downtime there will be for recovery. Facial chemical peels typically require repeat treatments every four to six months to maintain results. This cosmetic treatment can be performed in a plastic surgeon’s office.

Ideal Candidates for Facial Chemical Peels

If you are considering facial chemical peels, you will need to have a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon. This consultation includes a medical examination to determine if you are an ideal candidate. If you are pregnant, smoke or have an underlying health condition, you may need an alternative treatment option to address your cosmetic concerns.
