Patients rapidly return to their daily routine. Chemical peels, however, can not produce the same results as full face CO2 laser resurfacing. If you are interested in learning more about chemical peels or laser resurfacing, please contact our office for a consultation with our cosmetic coordinator. More recently, very light chemical peels using alpha hydroxy acids, such as glycolic acid, have been used for treatment of mild pigmentation changes and acne involving facial skin. These so-called lunchtime peels have very rapid recovery and are often repeated at monthly intervals until the desired result is achieved.
Patients can have a peel during lunch break and return to work that same afternoon.
These peels are performed by our Aesthetician at The Skin Spa . Please visit the web site for The Skin Spa to learn more about light chemical peels and the services offered.
