What Conditions Do Chemical Peels Treat?
Chemical peels are often associated with skin rejuvenation. They offer quick and non-invasive pick me uppers for men and women who want to look younger.
How It Works
These techniques work by using special skin formulations like glycolic acid, which strip dead skin cells. Before the application, the selected area will be thoroughly cleansed to ensure that the peel absorbs into the skin, so the sloughing process can begin.
What many patients may not realize is that chemical peels are great for treating a range of skin conditions, and this is one of the reasons for their popularity.
Top Reasons To Get A Chemical Peel Include:
- Improve Acne – as this condition is usually the result of blocked pores and blackheads. Chemical peels can help to significantly clear clogged skin, as well as diminish acne scars to some extent.
- Rewind Aging – older men and women who are starting to show the signs of aging, like wrinkles, under eye circles, age spots from sun damage, and other symptoms can benefit from chemical peel treatments.
- Reduce Scars – surface scars that are neither recessed nor enlarged may reduce with each new chemical peel treatment.
- Even-out Hyperpigmentation – providers can go over the specifics of how chemical peels help to even skin tone when patients have freckles or blotches of discoloration. These are popularly caused by genes, pregnancy, illness, or some other life event. Chemical peels can help.
- Smooths Textures – one of the main advantages of chemical peels is that your skin’s texture will dramatically improve. For the gentlest touch, chemical peels can sometimes be combined with facials.
Chemical peels are an affordable option to maintain a youthful look, as skin cells are renewed with each new dose. Collagen production and elasticity are likewise stimulated.
Providers will assess the skin during your visit to determine if chemical peels are right for you. Depending on the type of skin condition being treated, and the extent of damage, peels can be repeated based on provider recommendations. Providers can also determine the depth of the peel based on skin type and diagnoses.

I had such a positive experience here with Dr. Z and his staff. From the initial consultation to my post-surgery appts. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. All my questions/concerns were addressed, the surgery itself went really well (and I am so happy with my results, seriously life changing), my recovery went smoothly and Dr. Z gave me his personal cell # so I could reach out if I had any worries during my recovery. Dr. Z and his staff truly care about their patients and go above and beyond to deliver the best results! I highly recommend coming here if you need any aesthetic surgery, you won't be disappointed.
