Chemical Peels
In Lodi, CA
Introduction to Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are a popular dermatological procedure designed to improve and smooth the texture of the skin. By removing the outermost layers of the skin, chemical peels reveal the softer, clearer, and more youthful skin underneath, making them an excellent treatment for a variety of skin concerns.
What Are Chemical Peels?
Chemical peels are treatments that apply a chemical solution to the skin, which causes it to exfoliate and eventually peel off. This process rejuvenates the skin by removing damaged skin cells from the surface, allowing new, healthier skin to emerge. There are different types of peels, ranging from superficial to deep, tailored to address specific skin issues like acne, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and wrinkles.
Mild Chemical Peel
- Superficial Peeling: Targets only the outer layer of skin for gentle exfoliation.
- Uses: Ideal for mild skin discoloration and rough skin.
- Downtime: Minimal, allowing for quick recovery.
Deep Chemical Peel
- Penetrative Peeling: Reaches the deeper layers of the skin for more intensive treatment.
- Uses: Effective against deeper wrinkles, scars, and precancerous growths.
- Downtime: Requires longer recovery period; more intensive care post-treatment.

How Do Chemical Peels Work?
Chemical peels work by using specific types of acid to remove different layers of the skin. Superficial peels, such as those with glycolic or salicylic acid, target only the outer layer of skin for gentle exfoliation. Medium peels use trichloroacetic acid to reach the middle and outer layers of the skin, helping to remove damaged skin cells more aggressively. Deep peels, involving phenol, penetrate deeply into the skin, offering the most dramatic results for deep wrinkles and scars.
