What Is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel places a specially formulated solution on the top layers of the skin and removes them. As they are removed, the body reacts by stimulating new cell turnover and collagen remodeling. Peels are not a one size fits all but Dr. Miller will formulate the peel based on your goals. If you prefer minimal downtime, then a superficial chemical peel is the answer. If you have significant sun spots and age spots and do not mind a few days of down time, then a medium-depth peel is best for you.
How Chemical Peels Improve Aging Skin
With controlled exfoliation, peels reduce the visibility of fine lines, smooth rough spots, and remove sun damage. Brighter skin tone and a more even complexion result.
What to Expect Before and After
Peels are performed in office. Consistent sunscreen use in the weeks before and after the peel are essential if you want to reduce pigment. Failure to do so could lead to poor results.
The skin is thoroughly cleaned followed by application of chemicals by a method that has generated consistent results for decades. You will briefly feel light burning during the peel but is very brief and well tolerated by most patients. You may have redness and flaking for a few days after the peel but sometimes it is unnoticeable if you undergo a superficial peel.
Personalized Care in Greenville
Every peel plan at Dermatology Specialists is individualized. Dr. Miller considers prior treatments, sensitivity, and lifestyle when designing your plan. He will also combine the peel treatment with appropriate skin care to maximize results. This includes gentle cleansers, barrier-supporting moisturizers, and daily SPF.
