How effective are chemical peels?

Caution: Chemical peels have been around in one form or another for centuries. The result will vary depending on the chemical used. Some may be dramatic while some may just burn your wallet. For croton oil, phenol, or high percentage tca, or glycolic acid peels make sure you have an experienced plastic surgeon or derm treating you. Improper use of these things can lead to scarring, and depigmentation.

Facial peel efficacy: Chemical peels can be very effective to improve skin tone and texture, acne breakouts, acne scars as well as brighten the skin. Peels remain one of the most common cosmetic procedures performed, with over 1.2million peels performed in 2014. For best results, go for consultation so your skin is examined and your goals, concerns and skin care to prepare and protect your skin is reviewed with you.

Based on need: Chemical peels are designed around the individual. Each treatment is tailored to preferences and needs such as short or no downtime, extent of results desired, and type of condition being treated. Stronger peels achieve more noticeable results more quickly but lead to a week or more of peeling. Mild peels are gentler but take longer to achieve dramatic results.
