How Do Chemical Peels Improve Your Skin?

If you have acne, skin discoloration, or fine lines and wrinkles, chemical peels can help restore a smooth, clear complexion. There are many different types of peels, and the results you get depend on the type of peel you choose. At Swinyer – Woseth Dermatology, we offer a variety of chemical peels to help you get the look you want.

Chemical peels improve your skin by causing the top, damaged layers of skin to peel away, revealing healthier skin underneath. The two chemical peels we perform that provide the most dramatic results are trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and Jessner’s solution peels. These peels can treat everything from liver spots and sun damage to acne scarring. TCA and Jessner’s solution peels are both deeply penetrating and cause significant peeling, which is why they produce such dramatic results. However, because of their strength, they are not considered “lunchtime procedures” and do require some recovery time. We also offer gentler peels if you’re looking for a brighter complexion without the downtime.
