Peels

Which skin conditions are treated with a chemical peel?

Chemical peels remove one or more layers of your skin, eliminating damaged skin and replacing it with new skin that’s strong and vibrant.

The team at Pier Medical Aesthetics offers chemical peels to treat skin conditions such as:

• Dry, dull skin
• Skin redness
• Clogged pores
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Acne and acne scarring
• Uneven skin tone and texture
• Brown spots, age spots, and sun damage

Chemical peels treat different conditions, depending on the depth of the peel.

What results will I achieve with different types of chemical peels?

The depth of your chemical peel depends on the strength of the ingredients in the peel. There are three categories of peels:

Light peel

A light chemical peel simply exfoliates the outer layer of your skin. This type of peel is gentle enough to use on a regular basis to maintain fresh skin. Light peels treat dry skin, improve blotchy skin, and diminish the appearance of fine lines.

Medium peel

Medium chemical peels remove the outer layer and the upper part of the middle layer of skin. The depth of this peel improves skin texture and treats uneven skin tone. A medium peel can also diminish age spots and moderate wrinkles. Following a medium peel, you may need up to a week of downtime.

Deep peel

Deep chemical peels produce the most dramatic results, but they also take longer to heal and require about two weeks of downtime. A deep peel penetrates to the lower layer of your skin. As a result, it provides all the benefits of a medium peel and more, since it also treats severe hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and deeper wrinkles.
