Chemical peels are fantastic ways to heighten your skin’s health by removing damaged outer layer cells. New skin cells emerge naturally and with a glowing appearance after a chemical peel. SkinMedica Chemical peels remove the dead and dull top layer of skin cells and reveal the smoother, younger, and brighter layer of skin cells lying beneath the top layer of your skin. Skin peels also reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, age spots, pigmentation, and acne or injury scars.
SkinMedica peels are offered to our patients to improve mild to severe skin imperfections with minimal downtime. Every SkinMedica peel can be applied to all skin types and colors.
Most peels can produce results after just one application, although a series of 3-6 peels is recommended for optimal results. It takes about 20 minutes for a chemical peel to be applied, and SkinMedica peels are well tolerated.
