What is a Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel is a specialized skincare procedure that uses chemical solutions to remove damaged outer layers of skin. This treatment targets fine lines, wrinkles, uneven pigmentation, and slightly lax skin by applying carefully selected chemical agents such as phenol, trichloracetic acid, and alphahydroxy acids.

Types of Chemical Peels

Alphahydroxy Acids (AHAs)

• Mildest peel formula
• Improves skin texture and brightness
• Treats fine wrinkles and uneven pigmentation
• Minimal recovery time

Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA) Peels

• Medium-depth peel
• Addresses fine surface wrinkles
• Corrects superficial blemishes
• Suitable for various skin types

Phenol Peels

• Deepest chemical peel treatment
• Treats coarse facial wrinkles
• Addresses sun-damaged skin
• Most dramatic, long-lasting results

Chemical Peel Procedure Process

Peterson Plastic Surgery carefully evaluates each patient's skin condition and aesthetic goals to determine the most appropriate chemical peel. The procedure typically involves thorough skin cleansing, precise chemical solution application, and post-treatment care instructions.

Recovery and Results

Recovery varies depending on the peel intensity. AHA peels require minimal downtime, while deeper peels might involve several days of healing. Patients can expect improved skin texture, reduced wrinkles, and more even skin tone.
