Chemical Peel – Central Plains Aesthetic Surgery

One of the least invasive ways to improve skin appearance, a chemical peel can reverse the effects of sun exposure, acne scarring, uneven coloring and pigmentation, rough skin, and fine lines and small wrinkles. It won’t, however, tighten skin, change pore size, remove deep scars, or improve broken capillaries. There are varying degrees of chemical peels.

1. A light chemical peel is an excellent way to improve skin tone and give you a healthy glow by removing the outer layer of the epidermis in a light exfoliation. A low-grade acid is brushed onto your face and allowed to sit for a short time. It is then neutralized and washed off. You will experience redness, stinging, skin flaking and irritation as the old skin is replaced by new, healthy skin.

2. A medium peel is a great option for the improvement of acne scars, deeper wrinkles, and uneven tone by removing the epidermis and upper part of the dermis. A specialized combination of acid is brushed onto your skin and allowed to sit for a designated amount of time. It is then neutralized and washed off. You may experience redness, stinging, flaking, and irritation, and approximately six weeks for the full effects to be seen.
