5 Amazing Benefits of Chemical Peels

Does chemically peeling the top of layer of your skin away sound frightening? Chemical peels are a common skin treatment that is typically used for cosmetic enhancement, but they can also be used for some medical purposes. If you have been hesitant to explore chemical peel treatments, you should reconsider. There are amazing benefits you and your skin can experience with these revitalizing treatments – here are five of the top reasons our patients come to MJR Dermatology for a chemical peel.

1. Say Goodbye to Dark Spots

If you have darkly pigmented spots on your skin, it may be a sign of sun damage and aging. Chemical peels can strip away pigmented cells that create age or brown spots on your skin for evenly toned skin that looks healthy and youthful.

2. Diminish Fine Lines and Wrinkles

A chemical peel exfoliates the top layer of skin, but it also can stimulate collagen production as the skin heals. This can add new volume to the skin, smoothing away fine lines and wrinkles for a firmer appearance.

3. Brighten Dull Skin

Removing old, dead skin cells from the surface allows new skin cells to emerge from the deeper layers. This process reveals skin that has a beautiful glow and looks brighter, healthier and rejuvenated. Chemical peel treatments can improve the tone, texture and overall skin appearance.

4. Remove Actinic Keratoses

Did you know that chemical peels can be used for removing pre-cancerous lesions from your skin? Actinic keratoses are pre-cancerous growths, usually brown or gray with a rough texture, which can be effectively removed with chemical peel treatment performed by a skin specialist.

5. Fade Away Acne Scars

If you have old acne scars or any scars on your skin, chemical peels can help fade dark scars and smooth the skin’s surface. The exfoliating properties and collagen-induction can reduce the appearance of scars for beautiful skin.
