If You Are Considering a Chemical Peel...
A chemical peel uses a chemical solution to improve and smooth the texture of the facial skin by removing its damaged outer layers. It is helpful for those individuals with facial blemishes, wrinkles and uneven skin pigmentation. Phenol, trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and alphahydroxy acids (AHAs) are used for this purpose. The precise formula used may be adjusted to meet each patient's needs. Although chemical peel may be performed in conjunction with a face lift, it is not a substitute for such surgery, nor will it prevent or slow the aging process.
A chemical peel is most commonly performed for cosmetic reasons—to enhance your appearance and your self confidence. A chemical peel may also remove pre-cancerous skin growths, soften acne facial scars and even control acne.
