Sun exposure, acne or just getting older can leave your skin tone uneven, wrinkled, spotted or scarred. If you want your skin to look smoother and younger, consider a chemical peel – a chemical solution to smooth the texture of your skin by removing the damaged outer layers.
A chemical peel, also called derma peeling, is one of the least invasive ways to improve the appearance of your skin. Although chemical peels are used mostly on the face, they can also be used to improve the skin on your neck and hands.
You Can Improve:
- Acne or superficial acne scarring
- Freckles
- Irregular skin pigmentation
- Rough, dry skin and scaly patches
- Sun-damaged skin
At Velvet Effect Lasers we carry both Superficial and Medium Grade Chemical Peels
Superficial Peels
Superficial peels are light chemical peels that offer subtle improvements at first, but dramatic results over time. This kind of peel removes just the outer layer of skin (epidermis) in a light exfoliation and results in a healthier glow that continues to increase with more treatments. You can repeat these treatments weekly for up to six weeks to achieve your desired results without any down time or complications to your skin. Return once a month to maintain your vibrant new look.
Medium Peels
Medium peels generally produce more dramatic results than superficial peels because they penetrate more deeply into the layers of the skin. This type of peel can be applied up to four times per year.
