Chemical Peels in Redwood City

Refine & Resurface Your Face

Price Range- $85 to $400

Chemical peels can rejuvenate the face, improving or correcting a variety of aesthetic flaws. As we age, the elements we are exposed to gradually result in fine lines, discolorations, wrinkles, scarring, and other facial flaws. A chemical peel is recommended for patients who want to achieve healthy, glowing skin, and while it is most commonly applied to the face, it can be applied to other areas as well, such as the neck, chest, back, or buttocks.

With multiple formulations and strengths, chemical peels are easily tolerated and offer predictable results. Chemical peels may also be combined with other treatments for maximum results and optimal skin correction.

Chemical peels can effectively:

• Improve or correct skin discolorations such as hyperpigmentation
• Reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
• Shrink large pores
• Improve facial scar appearance
• Soften roughly textured skin

How Do Chemical Peels Work?

Chemical peels are performed by applying a solution to the skin to remove one or more of its layers, and the level of peel can be light, medium, or deep. Lighter peels are a good choice for people with fine lines, acne, uneven pigmentation, and more. A deeper peel may be necessary to remove moderate wrinkles, light scars, or sun damage.

Though not as invasive as some other cosmetic facial procedures, a chemical peel should be done by an experienced physician for optimal results. Patients may experience stinging or burning during the procedure, and some redness that persists for a couple of weeks afterward. While there is a recovery period and some discomfort resulting from a chemical peel, the results can be dramatic and long-lasting.
