SOMA PEEL | Chemical Peel
A chemical peel uses a chemical solution to improve the texture and tone of your skin by removing the damaged outer layers.
Although chemical peels are used mostly on the face, they can also be used to improve the skin on your neck and hands. Sun exposure, acne or just getting older can leave your skin tone uneven, wrinkled, spotted or scarred.
A chemical peel is one of the most cost-effective ways to improve the appearance of your skin. The potential result of the chemical peel depends on the type of chemical and technique used.
What a chemical peel can improve:
- Acne or acne scars
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Irregular skin pigmentation
- Rough skin and scaly patches
- Certain scars
- Sun-damaged skin
What a chemical peel can’t do:
- Treat deep facial lines or wrinkles
- Significantly tighten loose or sagging skin
- Remove deep scars
What are the steps of a chemical peel procedure?
Chemical solutions are carefully applied to your skin to improve the texture by removing damaged outer layers.
The formula used by your doctor will be adjusted to meet your particular needs.
There are three types of chemical peels:
- Light chemical peel – Subtle improvements at first, but that healthy glow will increase with more treatments
- Medium chemical peel – Your skin will be noticeably smoother and fresher-looking
- Deep chemical peel – Results are dramatic, but recovery takes the longest
