Chemical Peels – What are they and are they effective?

As the New Year’s saying goes…out with old and in with the new can be applied to many things; especially to the appearance of one’s skin. Who doesn’t want to start off the New Year with smooth and fresh skin? Here at Ringpfeil Advanced Dermatology, we find chemical peels to be an extremely effective way in achieving that smoother and softer skin.

Chemical peels refresh the skin by exfoliating the damaged outer layer of the skin. The treatment triggers the healing process in which a fresh layer of skin emerges. Ringpfeil Advanced Dermatology offers many different peels which are based on the individual’s specific needs or conditions. While peels are perfectly effective for people who simply want to add a vibe to their dull skin, they also effective in the treatment of acne, rosacea, melasma, skin blemishes, skin elasticity, skin discoloration and fine lines and can be used in combination with laser and microdermabrasion to deliver best results.
Chemical peels are available for all skin colors. However, first you must make sure your provider has the appropriate experience and credentialing. Otherwise, you may run the risk of skin discoloration and uneven skin tone after the procedure.

Be mindful of sun exposure in the 4 weeks after your chemical peel as your skin may become temporarily sensitive to the sun. That being said, make sure to wear sunscreen daily, to protect your skin from the dangerous UVA and UVB rays that can harm your skin.
