MAIN Arrow to Health Health Arrow to Cosmetic Procedures Cosmetic Surgery Arrow to Chemical Peels Chemical Peel

chemical peelA chemical peel is as an extra deep clean in which dead skin and damaged out layers are removed.

The skin peeling procedure can be used in conjuction with a facelift, and is most often used for purely cosmetic reasons - either to improve the skin's texture, to soften wrinkles and acne or blackhead facial scars, or as an effective treatment for uneven skin pigmentation.

The chemicals most commonly used in the process include phenol acid, trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and alphahydroxy acid (AHA) and in varying formulas and degrees of strength. Since they leave the skin unprotected from the sun, post-procedural care almost always includes the use of a strong sun block following a medium or deep chemical peel.




In some cases, chemical peels can serve to control severe acne and even remove pre-cancerous growths, making it a procedure that may qualify for certain types of insurance when used in this way. The cost for a professional chemical peel varies by area, although in the US it usually averages around $200 per procedure.
