Chemical peels are among today’s most popular cosmetic treatments for brighter, healthier skin. But, how exactly do they work to enhance the skin’s appearance?
This article will review how chemical peels work for various aesthetic concerns, and whether you should add them to your Tampa skincare routine.
How Chemical Peels Work
During a chemical peel, your physician applies a chemical solution to the skin’s surface. This solution causes the skin to shed its outermost layers, usually over three to four days. The skin produces new, healthy cells to replace the cells lost during the shedding process.
By replacing damaged cells at the skin’s surface with new cells, chemical peels lighten discoloration, fade scarring, and give the skin a brighter appearance overall.
Choosing the Right Chemical Peel for Your Needs
While all chemical peels speed up skin cell turnover, each peel is tailored to a specific skin concern. At Hermann Aesthetics & Wellness in Tampa and St. Petersburg, we offer the following selection of chemical peels to suit different needs:
