Chemical Peels Q & A

What is a chemical peel?

During a chemical peel, a mixture of substances is applied to your face. This causes old, dead skin to slough off, revealing fresh new cells and glowing skin.

A variety of peel intensities are available, and your provider determines which one is best for you depending on your aesthetic goals and complexion complaints.

What are the different types of chemical peels?

At Cutis Wellness Dermatology & Dermatopathology, chemical peels are customized for you. They range in intensity and include:

Superficial peels, which are relatively mild and require little downtime
Medium peels, which are more intense and call for a week or two of recovery
Deep peels, which are most intense and require up to a month of recovery

Chemical peels are effective in improving the texture and tone of your skin. The degree of improvement you need dictates the intensity of the peel you choose.

Who is a good candidate for a chemical peel?

When you’re young, your skin cells regenerate every few weeks, but as you get older, this process slows down – a lot. Your complexion dulls as a result, and the older cells build up to cause breakouts, discoloration, and uneven texture. Anyone who needs accelerated skin renewal to achieve brighter, smoother skin could benefit from a chemical peel.

Chemical peels help men and women address a number of skin issues, including:

Rough skin
Rosacea
Melasma
Acne and acne scars
Sun-damaged skin
Fine lines and wrinkles

Your provider does a thorough evaluation of your skin so they provide the best recommendation on the type of peel and intensity that best meets your goals.

You’ll find that you experience continued healing after the initial chemical peel. The procedure triggers your body to heal naturally and continue to renew cells for improved skin long afterward.

What are Skin peels?

One product offered at Cutis Wellness Dermatology & Dermatopathology and their line of skin peels.
