After the elements have taken their toll on our skin, the complexion can appear dull and lifeless. Harmful UV rays may also lead to the appearance of brown spots and fine lines. A chemical peel is a great way to reverse the damage and rejuvenate the skin. At our Skin & Laser Center, Dr. Leber and his staff offer a variety of chemical peels that can be tailored to your specific needs and desired results.

What Is A Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel is an exfoliating treatment that uses specific solutions to remove outer dead layers of skin, revealing softer, smoother skin underneath. The procedure can also effectively minimize the appearance of some type of sun damage including brown spots and fine lines. Different ingredients might be included in your peel formulation to brighten or hydrate the skin while rejuvenating the overall complexion.
