Chemical Peel for Skin Resufacing
Dr. Imber offers a variety of chemical peels at his office to help treat superficial skin concerns. A chemical peel is a skin-resurfacing procedure and can improve skin tone and texture. The purpose of a chemical peel is to exfoliate the dead cell layer of the skin, encourage growth of new cells, and help eliminate superficial wrinkles and discolorations.
Chemical Peel Goals
Dr. Imber’s No Peel Peel and most chemical peels help improve uneven skin tone, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and fine lines. Chemical peels, when received regularly, help clear away dead skin encouraging skin cell turnover which is imperative for improving visible signs of aging.
Chemical Peel Candidates
Almost anyone in their late 20s is a great candidate for a chemical peel, but you must determine which type is best for you with a licensed provider.
What to Expect During Your Chemical Peel
Everyone responds differently to chemical peels so discuss any sensitivy issues with your provider. Depending on your sensitivity, you may experience slight irritation, but your provider will be able to manage expectations.
Recovering From Your Chemical Peel
Dr. Imber’s No Peel Peel doesn’t require any downtime. You may experience redness immediately, but it should subside within a few hours. Other chemical peel formulas cause physical shedding of the skin, so downtime could be anywhere from 4-6 days. Make sure to discuss any events or concerns with your provider to determine what peel is best for you.
