What is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is an aesthetic treatment that uses a unique chemical solution to improve the appearance of the skin. During the treatment, the solution is applied to your skin, causing the skin to peel and revealing more youthful skin underneath. The treatment can address fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin tone, rough skin texture, acne scars, and more.
The ingredients in a chemical peel can include glycolic acid, alpha hydroxy acid, salicylic acid, and more. Which ingredients are used will depend on whether it’s a superficial peel/light chemical peel, medium peel, or deep chemical peel.
Who is a Candidate for a Chemical Peel?
Most patients looking to improve the look and feel of their skin are good candidates (as the treatment works on all skin types), but there are some criteria we follow to determine if this is an appropriate treatment for you.
Ideal Candidates for Chemical Peels in Victoria Are:
- Those with realistic expectations of treatment
- Don’t have any active skin infections or cold sores
- Willing to stick to aftercare instructions, including avoiding unprotected sun exposure
- Struggling with hyperpigmentation, lines and wrinkles, acne scars, and more
- Looking for a more youthful appearance
Chemical Peel Benefits
When you come into Erwin Dermatology for a chemical peel, you can take advantage of a variety of benefits, including the following:
- Minimally-invasive treatment: With a chemical peel, you can achieve significant results without needing to go under the knife or have a more invasive procedure. The treatment is minimally invasive, allowing you to go back to your normal routine almost immediately.
- Lasting results: How long your results last will depend on the type of chemical peel you have (light, medium, or deep peel). The results can last anywhere from a few months to a few years.
- Younger-looking appearance: One of the biggest benefits of a chemical peel is that it can help you achieve a more youthful appearance. By removing layers of skin, the treatment can erase lines and wrinkles, helping you look years younger.
- Versatile: Because a chemical peel can be customized for your unique needs, no two peels are the same.
