Chemical Peel

Minimally Invasive Procedure

A chemical peel uses a chemical solution to smooth the texture of your skin by removing the damaged outer layers.

Who is a good candidate for a chemical peel?

You may not be a good candidate for chemical peeling if you have:

  • A history of abnormal skin scarring
  • A naturally dark complexion or skin tone
  • A tendency to have extra pigmentation of your scars
  • Used certain acne treatments within the last year
  • Skin conditions or medications that make the skin more sensitive than normal
