Chemical Peel
Chemical peels is a procedure that removes layers of
your skin with a
caustic solution and as the healing process progresses, a new,
healthier-looking skin emerges.
LENGTH
The procedure takes about 30 minutes in the doctor's office.
IN/OUT PATIENT
A chemical peel is usually done in your doctor¹s office.
SIDE EFFECTS
The procedure causes some burning for several minutes but most people
tolerate the discomfort quite well. The first few hours and days after the
treatment, your face will feel swollen and irritated.
RISKS
Some individuals have a tendancy to form raised or thickened scars, and this
may be unpredictable. Also, unanticipated color changes or skin blotchiness
may occur.
RECOVERY
Healing takes approximately one to two weeks. Avoid direct or indirect
exposure to the sun until redness or pinkness of your skin has subsided
