Chemical peels are a wonderful way for people to treat acne scars and other ailments of the skin. Typically, a gentle acid is layered onto the skin, then removed minutes later. A soothing balm and sunscreen is then applied to protect the skin. Over the course of the next few days, the skin will gently start to flake away (similar to how a mild sunburn would peel). You are left with a fresher, smoother complexion that will give you a more youthful appearance. Chemical peel results are similar to those from a microdermabrasion. However, the chemical peels go a bit deeper, and are recommended for people with cystic acne, Rosacea, and similar concerns. The type of treatment you need can best be determined with a free consultation with one of Skin Couture LA's trained professionals.
