Chemical Peels: all you need to know

I love a good chemical peel. Let’s go back in time, before there were fillers and botox. Chemical Peels were a great tool to firm and tighen skin and even add volume. Chemical peels work by utilizing an acid to remove the top dead layers of skin so new fresh skin can grow in. In that same process, the inflammation that comes from the peel causes new collagen to grow underneath the skin and this helps fine lines and wrinkles. If this is if done regularly, peels can keep your skin looking smooth and tight. Peels are often categorized into superficial, medium and deep. Here at luxe dermatology we can customize your peels to whatever you are trying to improve. In addition, depending on your skin tone only certain peels can be utilized on your skin. As you can see from the chart above peels can address:

• Pigment

• Fine Lines and Wrinkles

• Brighten skin

• Increase Collagen

• Decrease Break out

We offer about 10 different peels here at Luxe. Come and see us for a free cosmetic consultation, so we can address your skin issues, and maybe a peel will be the way to go ;-))))
