CHEMICAL PEEL: REVITALIZE YOUR SKIN'S APPEARANCE

Chemical peels are an effective treatment to enhance the texture and
appearance of skin on the face, neck, or hands. By applying a
specialized chemical solution, this procedure removes damaged outer
layers of skin, revealing regenerated skin that is typically smoother
and less wrinkled.

THE CHEMICAL PEEL PROCEDURE

The chemical peel procedure is performed in an operating room under
sedation. The process involves cleaning the skin, applying the peel
solution, and covering the treated area with tape or ointment. The
procedure can take between 15 minutes to two hours, depending on the
type of chemical used and the coverage area.

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Recovery time varies depending on the type of peel. AHA peels
typically allow for immediate return to normal activities, while more
aggressive solutions like TCA and phenol may require a longer recovery
period. Patients can expect temporary redness, flaking, and dryness
following the treatment.

CANDIDACY AND BENEFITS

Chemical peels are suitable for patients seeking to enhance their
appearance and self-confidence. They can effectively remove
pre-cancerous skin growths, soften acne scars, and control acne. The
treatment is customized to each patient's specific needs and skin
type.

PREPARATION AND AFTERCARE

Prior to the procedure, patients may be instructed to use
pre-treatment products like Retin A or AHA cream. Post-treatment care
includes protecting the skin from sun exposure and using prescribed
sunscreen to prevent hyperpigmentation. David Cho MD provides
comprehensive guidance for optimal results and minimal complications.

POTENTIAL RISKS AND CONSIDERATIONS

	* Rare occurrence of skin loss or scarring
	* Possible hypopigmentation or hyperpigmentation
	* Temporary "fever blisters" in treated areas
	* Varied results based on skin type and treatment depth
