Understanding Dermatology: Chemical Peels in Washington DC

chemical peel in Washington DC

Chemical peels are a cosmetic dermatology procedure that involves a solution containing safe levels of chemicals applied directly to your skin. The peel removes one or more layers of damaged skin revealing the more vibrant and smoother skin underneath. Chemical peels in Washington DC are a popular and effective anti-aging treatment. They are also an excellent skincare solution to resolve hyperpigmentation, brown spots, or scarring from acne, while also facilitating new skin growth. This leads to less wrinkled and more evenly toned skin. While chemical peels are widely offered in Washington, DC, 19th St Dermatologyoffers customizable peel treatments for a client’s specific aesthetic goals.

THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF CHEMICAL PEELS

There are three different types of chemical peels and they differ in strength. A light peel is the most gentle of the three peels. It exfoliates the outer layer of skin, which improves discoloration and removes rough, dry skin. A medium peel goes deeper than a light peel, addressing more moderate skin concerns including damaged cells, age spots, sun damage, pronounced wrinkles, and moderate acne scars. A deep peel, the strongest of the three peels, penetrates the middle layer of the skin to improve deep wrinkles, severe sun damage, and intense pigmentation and scarring. 19th St Dermatology offers all three chemical peels in Washington DC. Their goal is to ensure that each of their clients receive the right peel treatment for their skincare needs.
