Chemical peels come in a wide variety of strengths. They cause the facial skin to turn over and thereby rejuvenate the face to various degrees depend on the strength of the agent. These vary from the mildest of peels that are zero down time to the strongest of peels that rival what can be accomplished with surgery. Although lasers are sexy, the truth is that chemical peels are much more powerful and versitle. As a note of caution, do not order these peeling agents from the Internet and do it yourself. A great deal of know how is required to stay out of trouble and get the best possible results.
There are all different strengths and types of chemical peels. You need to discuss with your treating physician before your peel what type and how long the recovery is. Some peels can peel a week or more. It is best to consult a board certified dermatologist with expertise in chemical peels for the best cosmetic results. Best, Dr. Green
