Chemical Peels include a wide range of procedures including a light alphahydroxy peels, medium depth trichyloracidic acidic peels and deeper phenol peels.  The light alphahydroxy peels can also be performed in conjunction with microdermabrasion either on the same day or on alternating treatments.  The trichyloracidic acid peels typically result in significant edema of the skin with some swelling as well.  Typically one needs 5 days of without being face to face with the public.  Makeup should not be applied for 5 days.

Phenol peels provide the deepest level of peeling.  This is a very complex procedure and phenol peels are typically used in our hands with small very pigmented lesions.  They can be particularly effective in this instance.
