What You Need To Know About Chemical Peels

You can choose from several types of chemical peels to help fight the signs of aging, reduce acne and acne scarring, and help your skin achieve its natural glow. Consider these types of chemical peels:

• A glycolic peel, which penetrates more deeply than other peels, and is a perfect choice for exfoliation
• A lactic peel, which is a great option for people with sensitive skin, and moisturizes dry skin
• A beta peel, containing salicylic acid to help reduce acne blemishes
• A vitalize peel is an excellent solution to provide overall skin benefits such as making your skin appear more even in tone and texture
• A retinol peel, which penetrates into deeper skin layers to fight early signs of aging including fine lines and wrinkles

Chemical peels provide substantial benefits to your skin, including:

• Promoting collagen production, one of the building blocks of younger-looking skin
• Removing dead skin cells and debris from the surface of your skin, leaving your skin glowing and renewed
• Minimizing skin imperfections to create a more even skin tone and texture
• Reducing the appearance of age spots, sun damage, rosacea, and other skin discolorations

Chemical peels are safe, easy, and minimally invasive, requiring little to no downtime. They also have been extensively tested and approved by the FDA. Chemical peels can be scheduled at one-to-two-week intervals, up to six sessions. Each session takes between 20 and 30 minutes.
