How do chemical peels work?

Chemical peels work by applying a mask to the affected area, often made with salicylic or glycolic acid. This mask removes the damaged outer layers of skin, eliminating dead skin cells and signs of aging for a refreshed appearance with minimal downtime, depending on the intensity of the peel.

Is there any downtime with chemical peels?

Chemical peels in Princeton may require some downtime, depending on how intense the peel treatment is. Usually, any side effects are mild, and some redness can last for up to a week.

When will I see my results?

Results from chemical peels begin to show up after a few days, and patients will see noticeably brighter and more even skin as collagen production continues to increase in the skin.

How often can I get a chemical peel?

Superficial peels can be done every 4-6 weeks, medium peels every few months, and deep peels are typically performed only once due to their intensity.

Are chemical peels good for acne and acne scars?

Yes, chemical peels help unclog pores, reduce inflammation, and fade acne scars by promoting skin regeneration and collagen production.

Is a chemical peel better than laser resurfacing?

Both treatments have unique benefits; chemical peels are often more affordable and treat surface issues, while lasers provide deeper collagen remodeling and precise skin resurfacing.

Can I do a chemical peel at home?

While over-the-counter chemical peels exist, professional peels performed by a licensed provider offer safer, more effective results with reduced risk of complications.
