Professional Chemical Peels to Exfoliate Skin, Reduce Fine Lines, and Reveal a Radiant Complexion

Chemical peels actively remove dead skin cells from the skin by applying a solution of exfoliating acids. This process removes dead skin cells, promoting the growth of new, healthy skin. At Grossman | Capraro Plastic Surgery, serving patients in Denver and Greenwood Village, CO chemical peels can treat various body areas, including the face, neck, and hands. Using this treatment, you can reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, and uneven skin tone. The procedure typically takes a short time, and the peeling occurs over several days.

The chemical peel is ideal for those who wish to improve their skin’s texture and appearance. Ideal candidates include those with sun damage, acne scars, fine lines, and uneven skin tone. Optimal results can be seen after a chemical peel within a week, with the skin continuing to heal over the following weeks. The results of the peel last for varying amounts of time, depending on the depth and the individual’s skin type. To maintain results, periodic treatments may be recommended.
