People who are in good health and want to rejuvenate aging skin and erase the marks of sun damage consider chemical peel for more youthful appearing and glowing skin.
What type of peel is right for you? Your skin type and color, ethnic background and age will be factors your doctor will evaluate. Darker skin poses special considerations due to increased risk of undesirable skin pigmentation changes. Black skin, Asian skin, and other dark complexions may become permanently discolored or blotchy after a skin-refinishing treatment.
Chemical peel can successfully treat:
- Fine lines around the eyes and mouth
- Sun spots
- Age spots
- Freckles
- Blotchy skin
- Mild scarring
- Certain types of acne
- Wrinkles
- Pre-cancerous keratoses
- Scaling patches
Chemical peel does not:
- Remove loose or sagging skin
- Halt the aging process
- Change pore size
- Remove deep scars
- Remove broken blood vessels
