If you want to refresh your skin, chemical peels are one of the most viable options. They help to improve fine lines, acne scars, discolored tones, and sun damage to the skin. If you are interested in Chemical Peels Frisco, learn about the types to help determine the right treatment for you that will address your skin’s issues and goals.
In this article, let’s check out the different types of chemical peels!
1. Superficial Chemical Peel
More commonly referred to as light peels, Superficial Chemical Peels will remove cells from the surface of the skin, or epidermis, using the gentlest exfoliation technique. Superficial peels treat mild skin discolorations, rough textures, and the initial signs of aging, with not much downtime. A superficial peel is generally very beginner-friendly and can easily be included in a skincare routine.
2. Medium Chemical Peels
Medium Chemical Peels penetrate the outer layer of skin and into the middle layer of skin with medium concentrations of stronger solutions (i.e. glycolic or trichloroacetic acid (TCA)), for moderate wrinkles, acne scars and pigmentation. Patients could anticipate one week of downtime and a much larger improvement over superficial peels.
3. Deep Peels
Deep Peels penetrate from the mid dermis to the lower dermis for significant lifting of deep wrinkles, severe sun damage and precancerous growths. It is typically a phenol peel and is the most intense peel and has extremely long downtime and will be one of the more discomforting ways to treat your skin, but has results that can sometimes last years.

Final Thoughts
Knowing the three types of chemical peels, superficial, medium, and deep, will help you decide which peel is best for your treatment based on your skin concerns and objectives. It is important to have a consultation with a licensed professional to determine which is the best peel for your skin type, skin concerns, and skin objectives. With the correct application of a chemical peel, skin texture, tone, and clarity can substantially improve over time.
