Chemical Peel Treatments in Mechanicsburg, PA

Chemical peels are procedures which use topical solutions to remove the dull, blemished, imperfect outer layers of the skin. Different types of chemical peels can be used to address specific skin problems, and peel the skin to various depths, improving the skin appearance and health.

Chemical peels can treat multiple skin concerns, including complexion issues, lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores, uneven pigmentation, and acne. Peels can be adjusted for more sensitive or more damaged skin.

The downtime following chemical peels varies, depending on the type of peel used, and the skin type treated. There is usually some pinkness of the treated skin for several days, and – as the name implies – peeling of the skin follows. Peeling varies with the type of chemical peel.

Chemical peels are generally well-tolerated and enjoyed procedures. There may be some mild stinging experienced during the procedure, or a mild sunburn sensation may be noted following the treatment.

Our esthetician and registered nurse provide these treatments in a relaxed, quiet, caring, and gentle manner.

Which Chemical Peel Is The Best To Treat Skin Conditions?
