Chemical Peels
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels help exfoliate the skin by using an acid to remove the outermost layer (epidermis), allowing the dermis to reveal itself beneath. A small portion of the dermis may be peeled off as well, depending on the strength of the chemical peel. This results in healthier and younger-looking skin.
Different skin conditions can also be treated with Chemical Peels, including:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Mild scarring
- Rosacea
- Sunspots, age and liver spots, freckles
- Acne
- Redness
- Hyperpigmentation
Chemical peels can be applied to more than the face. It is also effective on the neck and hands: wrinkles, age spots, and freckles will be reduced. The chemical peels we offer at Lexington Aesthetics Medical Spa include various options, depending on your needs.
