Chemical Peels

A chemical peel is a popular and effective way to improve the appearance of your skin. A chemical solution is applied to the surface of the skin to cause the cells to "peel off." The stronger the solution, the deeper the peel and the more dramatic the effect.

How will a chemical peel benefit me?

Chemical peels result in a fresh layer of skin which has a clearer, firmer texture and exudes youth and radiance. They reduce wrinkles and even-out skin tone. Deeper peels can improve deeper wrinkles, scars and sun damage. Dr. Ignatowicz can completely customize a peel to your needs.

What are the risks and side effects of chemical peels?

The risks of chemical peels increase with the strength of the peel. Lighter peels have a great result with low risk and a quick recovery time. Unlike deeper peels, which can leave the skin raw, blistery and red while healing takes place, a light peel often leaves the face slightly pink, like a light sunburn and can be repeated to achieve greater effect.
