What are chemical peels? Chemical Peels Q&A

A chemical peel is a professional skin treatment that uses a chemical solution to create a controlled wound over your facial skin. As this wound heals, dry, dead skin layers peel away, revealing the healthier skin below. Peels provide more exfoliation than over-the-counter skin products, so they offer striking anti-aging and skin revitalization results.

Which skin conditions can a chemical peel address?

The experienced team at the North Shore Center for Facial, Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery perform North Shore chemical peels to address a wide variety of skin concerns, such as:

Wrinkles
Fine lines
Dark spots and hyperpigmentation
Dull skin
Sun damage
Uneven skin tone
Rough skin
Acne
Acne scars

Superficial chemical peels remove only the surface layers of your skin, while medium and deep peels penetrate the middle skin layers. Even superficial peels can reduce signs of aging and enhance the natural beauty of your skin. Medium chemical peels offer even more striking results, while deep chemical peels have the most impressive improvement in skin tone, texture, elasticity, and firmness.
