What Is a Chemical Peel Good For?

Dr. Melanie Hecker and Dr. David Hecker at Hecker Dermatology Group will perform a chemical peel in Pompano Beach and Tamarac, FL, as an exfoliating treatment to correct several skin concerns. These skin concerns may include acne, fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, and pore size issues.

Reducing the Appearance of Fine Lines and Wrinkles

During this procedure, Drs. Melanie and David Hecker apply an acid solution directly onto your skin. This application is an exfoliation technique that removes the outermost layers of your skin to expose a younger, fresher-looking complexion. 

Treating Acne and Reducing Acne Scars

Chemical peels on the face may help improve acne by unclogging pores and dissolving excess oil contributing to breakouts. They're also great for diminishing scars. Your goals will determine the strength and type of peel you require. Based on your goals, Drs. Melanie and David Hecker can select an appropriate one. 

Improving Skin Tone and Texture

A chemical peel in Pompano Beach and Tamarac, FL, can help transform skin tone and texture by exfoliating away dead or damaged outer layers, stimulating new cells to grow while simultaneously improving your complexion.

Drs. Melanie and David Hecker will apply a chemical solution to your skin using a brush, gauze or cotton ball and it may cause an initial stinging sensation for several minutes before it subsides. During the procedure, our doctors will also use a neutralizing solution to flush away any leftover chemicals and help lessen any discomfort from the stinging sensation.

Removing Dead or Damaged Skin Cells

Exfoliating your face is vital for maintaining its health and appearance, as it removes dead skin cells that could block pores and cause breakouts.

Chemical peels can remove dead or damaged skin cells, revealing fresher, brighter-looking skin beneath. Furthermore, chemical peels may help correct sun damage and fade scars over time.

Chemical solutions applied directly to the skin for an extended period can dramatically enhance its appearance and texture by gently exfoliating away outer damaged layers while stimulating new cell generation during healing processes.

Helping With Sun Damage and Hyperpigmentation

Chemical peels can effectively remedy sun damage, uneven skin tone, rough texture and fine lines. In addition, a chemical solution causes old cells to shed faster while new skin grows quicker - leaving behind smoother and less wrinkled results on your face.

Peels also assist in treating hyperpigmentation (brown spots) by exfoliating the upper layers of skin where excess pigment may reside.
