Your skin goes through a lot of damage. You may get sun damage with pigment changes, damage from free radicals in the air, or damage from the effects of aging. One of the most effective and least intrusive methods of bringing your skin back to healthful youth is to get a chemical peel. Chemical peels are completely safe, and have short appointment times, fast recovery, and lasting results.
What Is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is a procedure in which a chemical is placed on the skin that exfoliates and peels away the uppermost layer of skin. You can get chemical peels that are light, medium, or deep, depending on your skin type and the ultimate results you are looking for. There are also different chemicals that might be used based on your skin type and goals.
