Let’s break it down: Chemical peels are applied to your face to exfoliate and reveal fresher skin underneath. Think of it as hitting reset on your complexion. But before you dive into a glow-up, there are a few things you need to know about the safety of chemical peels.
Spoiler: They are safe, but it depends on the type of peel, your skin type, and who's applying it (your DIY TikTok version might not cut it).
Ready to use chemical peels to achieve radiant, younger-looking skin? Visit our dermatology specialists at Vindhya Veerula MD—Integrative Dermatology & Laser Spa in Fort Wayne, Indiana, to determine which chemical peel best suits your beauty goals.
Chemical peels at Vindhya Veerula MD - Integrative Dermatology & Laser Spa use a chemical solution to exfoliate dull, aging, or imperfect skin. The solutions used at our practice are safe, top-quality, and highly effective to eliminate common signs of aging — think fine lines, wrinkles, rough patches, sun damage, scarring, dark spots, precancerous growths, and more.
All chemical peels available at Vindhya Veerula MD- Integrative Dermatology & Laser Spa are safe and provide superior anti-aging results. However, improperly using home chemical peels or not following your pre- or post-care instructions could lead to burning, an infection, discoloration, or scarring.
That’s why it’s vital to follow your instructions exactly as your provider directs. This includes protecting your skin from the sun, applying custom serums to your skin if asked to, keeping the treatment area clean, not picking at scabs, taking any medications as directed, and not wearing makeup until given permission.
The superficial chemical peels available at Vindhya Veerula MD- Integrative Dermatology & Laser Spa are often safe and effective for all skin types.
