At our Tucson, AZ office, we offer varying levels of chemical peels—light, medium, and deep—to cater to diverse skin concerns.
Light peels: Conveniently scheduled during lunch breaks, these peels remove the top skin layer, resulting in a brighter complexion and smoother texture. For optimal results, a light peel is usually recommended once a month.
Medium-depth peels: Penetrating deeper into the skin, these peels require a longer weekend recovery. Patients may experience more discomfort for about an hour compared to light peels. Ideal for significant skin damage, such as deeper wrinkles or darker pigmentation.
Deep peels: This advanced treatment necessitates the longest recovery period, often resulting in itchiness, peeling, and swelling for several weeks. Best suited for severe skin issues like dark spots, sun damage, or deep acne scars. Due to the discomfort, mild anesthesia is typically administered before the procedure.
