Skin peeling involves the application of a
chemical solution to sun-damaged, unevenly pigmented, and
finely wrinkled facial areas. The procedure diminishes
imperfections by peeling away the skin’s top layers. It has
proved a very popular non-surgical cosmetic procedure.
Chemical peels vary according to their specific ingredients
and strength. Depth of peeling action may also depend on such
factors as how long solutions remain on the skin and whether
they are lightly, heavily or vigorously applied.

Dr. Yousefi will select the best chemical
or chemical mix for the individual patient. A solution is
applied using a sponge, cotton pad, cotton swab or brush to
the areas being treated (or the entire face, avoiding the
eyes, brows and lips). Generally, the most superficial peels
are those using alpha hydroxyl acids (AHA), such as glycolic,
lactic or fruit acid. Various concentrations of an AHA may be
applied weekly or at longer intervals to obtain the best
result.
The procedure takes approximately one hour for regional areas
and two hours for the full face.
