Chemical Peels
Dermatological chemical peels enhance and smooth the skin’s texture by removing its damaged outer layers. The process involves applying a chemical solution, typically containing glycolic, salicylic, or trichloroacetic acid, which exfoliates the skin and eventually peels off. As a result, new, regenerated skin appears, which is usually smoother and less wrinkled than the old skin. It is possible to use chemical peels on the face, neck, or hands and effectively treat fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone.
Chemical Peels in Plano, TX, are ideal for individuals looking to address visible skin imperfections or achieve a fresher, younger-looking complexion. This treatment is particularly effective for those with acne-prone or aging skin and those suffering from sun damage or hyperpigmentation. It depends on the type of peel and the individual’s skin condition, but most clients notice improvements after just one treatment. The effects of lighter peels may last for one to two months, while deeper peels can last up to six months or longer.
