This question is repeatedly asked by patients:
There seem to be an awful lot of products and procedures for rejuvenating the facial skin. What does a chemical peel do and how does it compare to other options like laser resurfacing or injectables?
Most chemical peels temporarily improve skin tone and texture –as well as cleaning out clogged pores and blackheads/whiteheads. Laser resurfacing is for deeper and longer lasting results. Injectables are different and are used for wrinkles.
