At Aesthetic Center of Richmond Dermatology, we offer a variety of chemical peel treatments that rejuvenate and enhance the appearance of your skin. You will remove your skin’s top layer with a chemical peel, revealing smoother, brighter, and healthier skin underneath. Whether dealing with fine lines, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, or sun damage, our professional aestheticians customize your peel according to your skin care needs.
In a chemical peel, chemicals are applied to the skin to remove dead cells. The solution is left on the skin for a set period, causing the outer layer to peel away and revealing smoother, more even skin tone. Several skin concerns can be addressed with this treatment, from acne to sun damage, and it’s a popular option for improving the skin’s appearance.
There are different levels of peels, ranging from light peels that only affect the surface, to deeper peels that penetrate more layers for dramatic results.
