Chemical Peel (light)

A light chemical peel removes the outer skin layers to correct fine wrinkles, blemishes, uneven skin texture and other superficial problems. Dr. Rosen chooses a formula to meet your needs. For a light peel, chemicals such as beta-hydroxy acid, alpha hydroxy acid, glycolic acid and others may be utilized. The light peel is an excellent choice for those who want improved skin texture and complexion with no downtime.

Light Chemical Peels Can Treat These Problems

• Rough skin
• Dry skin
• Acne 
• Blemishes

To correct pigment problems, the light peel can be mixed with a skin bleaching agent. It may also be used a pre-treatment for the deep chemical peel.

Your Chemical Peel – The Procedure

The light chemical peel can be done in about 15 minutes. Your skin is cleansed and the solution is applied. To provide an even result, the solution can also be used on your face, neck and chest. Best results are achieved with multiple treatment sessions and a medical grade home skin care regimen.

What to Expect After Your Light Chemical Peel

You will experience some flaking and dryness as fresh skin emerges. No ointment is requires and your normal routine can be resumed right away. Use sun protection as your skin will be more sensitive during this time. Possible side effects include flaking, scaling dryness and redness.
