Who this may help
A patient with a defined texture or pigment concern may be considered after skin-type, medication, infection, scar, and sun-exposure review.
Chemical Peel
Measured options with realistic expectations.
A chemical peel removes selected outer layers of skin to address uneven pigment, superficial lines, and texture. Peel depth, preparation, recovery, and pigment risk vary, so the treatment must be chosen for the individual's skin and concern.
