Chemical Peel New York

At the Skin Institute of New York, chemical peels are performed on patients who are ready to give their face a fresher more restored look.

Chemical peels are used to improve the appearance of the skin by minimizing fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes and mouth, as well as reducing acne, mild scarring and unwanted pigmentation such as age spots, sun spots and freckles.

When used with other advanced skin care treatments, a chemical peel can provide you with improved looking skin and a healthier feeling complexion.

How Does a Chemical Peel Work?

A chemical peel works by applying a specialized chemical solution to the skin which causes the dull outer layers of skin cells to separate and ultimately peel off. This enables your own natural skin to rejuvenate and bring new healthy skin cells to the surface.

You are left with a complexion that looks great and is actually healthier.

There are some simple questions you can ask your doctor about this procedure that will give you a better understanding of the process and how it can benefit you. Questions like:

• Do I have the right skin type for this procedure?

• How will my skin look afterwards and how do I maintain it?
• Do the effects last long?
