How do I know if a chemical peel is right for me?
Chemical peels are specifically formulated preparations for safe use on most skins, with varying strength peels needed for different skin types and skin conditions. Consultations are essential to determine which chemical peel and treatment program is suitable for you.
Who should perform chemical peels?
Chemical peels should be administered by a licensed medical aesthetician or a physician. Here at DermSA, several of our physicians, as well as our two aestheticians, perform chemical peels, with the strongest of peels being reserved for the physicians to administer.
