Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are a popular non-invasive cosmetic treatment that uses a chemical solution to improve the appearance of skin on the face, neck, or hands. The solution creates a controlled burn which causes the outermost layer of skin to peel off, revealing smoother, more even-toned skin underneath.
At Aesthetic Options, we offer a range of chemical peels to suit various skin types and concerns, including acne, sun damage, and fine lines and wrinkles. We use only medical-grade products and employ highly trained professionals to perform the treatments, ensuring maximum safety and efficacy.
Chemical peels can be categorized as superficial, medium, or deep, depending on the depth of the peel and the strength of the solution used. Superficial peels are the mildest and only affect the top layer of skin, while deep peels penetrate several layers and require a longer recovery time.
It is important to note that chemical peels are not suitable for everyone and should only be performed by a licensed and experienced professional. It is important to undergo a thorough consultation before the treatment to assess the patient's skin type and condition, as well as any potential risks or side effects.
Overall, chemical peels can be a highly effective way to improve the appearance of skin and achieve a more youthful, radiant complexion. With proper aftercare and follow-up treatments, the results can be long-lasting and help boost self-confidence.

Chemical peels are a popular dermatological treatment used to address a variety of skin conditions. Here are some common skin issues that chemical peels can help treat:
Acne and Acne Scars: Chemical peels can reduce the severity of acne and help clear acne scars by exfoliating the outer layers of skin, which helps to unclog pores and remove acne-causing bacteria and dead skin cells.
Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Peels can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, especially under the eyes and around the mouth, by stimulating new skin growth with improved texture and tone.
Sun Damage: They can help repair sun-damaged skin by removing the damaged outer layers, promoting a healthier appearance as new skin regenerates.
Hyperpigmentation: This includes age spots, melasma, and other forms of skin discoloration. Chemical peels can lighten areas of hyperpigmentation and lead to more even skin tone.
Rough Texture and Dull Skin: They can improve rough skin texture by removing the outermost layers of the skin, giving the skin a smoother and more radiant appearance.
Scars: Peels can improve the appearance of mild scarring by reducing the depth of surface scars and stimulating collagen production.
Enlarged Pores: Although they cannot change the actual size of pores, chemical peels can help unclog and cleanse pores, making them appear smaller and less noticeable.
Freckles: Lighter chemical peels can help lighten or remove freckles by removing the top layers of skin where the pigmented cells are located.
Each type of chemical peel—light, medium, or deep—offers different levels of treatment and can be tailored to the specific skin condition being addressed, as well as the patient's skin type.
