The Effect

Restores wrinkled, blemished, unevenly pigmented, or sun-damaged facial skin, using a chemical solution to peel away skin's top layers.

The Procedure

Prior to your procedure, your dermatologist will evaluate your case and together with you, select the most appropriate solution for your treatment.

The solution is applied to the entire face or just to certain regions, such as the crow's feet area around the eyes or the vertical wrinkles around the mouth. It will be applied using a sponge, a cotton pad or sometimes, for smaller areas, a cotton swab or brush.

The dermatologist observes changes in the appearance of the skin and removes the solution when required.

Best Candidates

Works best on fair, thin skinned areas with superficial wrinkles.

Risks

All medical treatment carries risk, and you should be fully aware of the medical risks associated with this procedure before you consent to your treatment. Your physician will discuss these risks with you during your consultation, and you are encouraged to ask questions if there is anything you do not understand.

You will be required to sign a consent form before treatment stating that you have been informed of the risks involved; that you understand those risks; and that you accept those risks. This is standard hospital protocol and treatment will not be performed if you do not sign.

It is your obligation to inform your physician of key medical information that may influence the outcome of your surgery or may increase the level of risk. These include medications you are taking, history of disease, medical complications, etc.

Risks and risk rates vary from patient to patient depending on a range of factors. No two people are alike.

Side Effects

Please note that the above information should be used only as a guide to your treatment. All specifics will be discussed with your physician during your consultation.
