Katy, TX patients want to know the benefits of a chemical peel

Many times, we find that patients seem leery when they hear Dr. Weaver suggest “chemical peels” as a way to rejuvenate skin. The truth is chemical peels are an extremely safe way to improve the appearance of skin. They work by removing the outermost layers of damaged skin and exposing the more youthful, supple skin beneath it. Patients will notice a dramatic improvement in the way their skin looks and feels after a chemical peel.

Chemical peels available may incorporate glycolic, trichloroacetic acid, as well as Jessner’s Solution. All three facilitate skin cell renewal by removing dead cells. Chemical peels are highly versatile. Before treatment, Dr. Weaver will work with you to determine the proper formula and strength to use on your skin. Treatments can also vary widely in the time the solution is left on the skin. Generally, the stronger the chemical mixture is, the longer the recovery time. Chemical peels can range from mild and superficial to deep.

Dr. Weaver may suggest chemical peels if you want to improve the appearance of one or several of the following conditions:

• Acne scars and blemishes
• Sun spots or damage
• Skin texture
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Pigmentation issues

Chemical peels are an affordable and minimally invasive way for patients to improve the texture, tone, and look of their skin. They can give you the confidence that you’ve been lacking while you try to hide your skin conditions.
