What Are Chemical Peels?
A chemical peel is a professional skin treatment that removes the top layer of damaged or dull skin, promoting a smoother, clearer, and more radiant complexion. This noninvasive procedure uses a customized solution of acids, such as glycolic, salicylic, lactic, or trichloroacetic, to exfoliate the skin and encourage cellular turnover. Whether you are dealing with sun damage, discoloration, or signs of aging, chemical peels for the face can address multiple concerns. At Westover Hills Dermatology in San Antonio, TX, our team provides treatments ranging from light peels to deep chemical peels, depending on your goals. A chemical peel can improve tone, texture, and clarity while reducing visible issues, like fine lines, uneven pigment, and acne scarring.
How Do Chemical Peels Work?
During your appointment, you will be made comfortable while your skin is thoroughly cleansed to prepare for treatment. Once ready, we apply the selected chemical solution evenly across the face or treatment area and allow it to sit for a specified amount of time. The strength and duration of the peel depend on your skin type and the condition being treated. After the solution has been processed, it is gently removed and neutralized. While some peels require little to no downtime, deeper options may lead to a few days of visible peeling. Aftercare instructions will be provided, and you may be advised to wear sunscreen or a hat outdoors to protect your healing skin. Whether you're seeking a chemical peel for wrinkles or looking to reduce old blemishes with a chemical peel for scars, our team will guide you toward the right option for your needs.
What Are the Benefits of Chemical Peels?
Chemical peels offer a wide range of benefits, especially when integrated into a regular skin care regimen. Patients often experience:
- Smoother skin texture with a brighter complexion
- Reduction in fine lines, wrinkles, and age-related changes
- Diminished appearance of acne scarring and pigmentation
- Smaller-looking pores and improved skin clarity
- Better absorption of skin care products following treatment
