Using chemical peels to stimulate skin cell turnover and improve skin health
Patients who want to rejuvenate their facial skin and improve its appearance, texture, and tone are encouraged to ask Dr. Derek Steinbacher of Guilford, Connecticut, about treatments like chemical peels. Chemical peels are an excellent method to address the unwanted signs of aging, hyperpigmentation, and other imperfections on the skin by stimulating skin cell turnover.
What are chemical peels?
Chemical peels are a type of skin treatment that uses chemicals to peel away the outer layer of your skin. That can improve the appearance of your skin by removing blemishes, wrinkles, and other signs of aging. There are several varieties of chemical peels available, each with its own set of benefits and risks.
What types of chemical peels are available for patients?
There are three main types of chemical peels: superficial, medium, and deep. With superficial peels, only the outer layer of your skin is removed, while medium and deep peels go deeper and can cause more severe side effects.
Which type of chemical peel is best for me?
The chemical peel most appropriate for you depends on your skin type, age, and desired results. Talk to your experienced dermatologist to determine which peel is right for you.
