3 Different Types Of Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are designed to remove layers of your skin so that the beautiful, youthful skin underneath is revealed. Dr. Brian Johnson offers chemical peels in Newport Richey, FL, as well as Trinity, FL.

Different Types of Chemical Peels

Superficial (Light) Chemical Peel

This particular type of chemical peel is generally done in a series and offers subtle changes in skin appearance. The outermost layer of the skin is removed to help encourage a beautiful, healthy glow to the skin. The recovery time can be anywhere from a few hours to several days, but you won’t have to worry about much or any downtime. 

Ideally, superficial chemical peels are used for individuals who have scars, fine wrinkles, dry sun-damaged skin, or uneven skin coloring. 

Medium Chemical Peel

Medium chemical peels in Newport Richey, FL, and Trinity, FL, are designed to provide your skin with a smooth, fresh appearance. During this type of chemical peel, the outermost layer of your skin as well as the top of the middle skin layer will be removed. The recovery time can be anywhere from one to two weeks, and you may be down and out for a short period of time. 

Ideally, medium chemical peels are used for individuals with moderate or uneven skin discoloring, acne scarring, age spots, or fine to moderate wrinkles. 

Deep Chemical Peel

This type of chemical peel is the one that will get you the most dramatic results. It will penetrate through the skin layers to the lower middle layer. You can expect the recovery time to be longer with the deep chemical peel. Further, it generally requires pre-treatment ahead of the peel itself.

Ideally, deep chemical peels are used for individuals who have extensive sun-damaged skin, blotchy skin, deep acne scars, moderate wrinkles, or precancerous growths.
