WHAT IS A TYPICAL CHEMICAL PEEL IN NJ?

As the name suggests, a chemical peel employs specific chemical solutions to be applied to the face. These chemical solutions are generally clear and may vary from glycolic acid for a milder peel to trichloroacetic acid for a medium to deep peel. These solutions damage the outer layers of the skin on purpose in order to separate them from the bottom layers, allowing the skin’s natural repair mechanism to take hold and stimulating the undamaged skin underneath. The damaged skin will then peel off over the course of several days. A chemical peel is often used to treat certain types of acne, as well skin damage due to sun exposure. It can also help improve other skin flaws such as irregular pigmentation, blotches, and wrinkles.
