Chemical Peel

A chemical peel is performed to improve fine wrinkling over the forehead, about the eyelids and cheeks, and around the mouth.

A chemical solution is applied to the areas to be treated. In a chemical peel of the entire face, the liquid is applied to all areas except eyes, brows, and lips. A burning sensation may be experienced when the solution is applied but should pass quickly. After surgery, there is some discomfort that is controlled by medication. A crust or scab to protect the new skin will develop over the areas treated within 24 hours. Following removal of the crust, the exposed skin layer will take on a deep red color. This will gradually turn to a pinkish hue. After chemosurgery, the patient will have tighter, smoother skin that is relatively free of blemishes and wrinkles in the areas treated.
