Chemical Peel Sarasota, FL | Scott J. Engel, MD, FACS

Chemical Peel Overview

Chemical peels are a safe and effective method for treating skin irregularities by removing the top layer of skin. At Sarasota Plastic Surgery MedSpa, these treatments reveal fresh skin and promote new tissue growth through customizable skincare solutions.

Types of Chemical Peels

Superficial Chemical Peels

Superficial peels target the epidermis using mild chemical solutions like alpha and beta hydroxy acids. These light treatments can be repeated every two to five weeks, addressing minor skin concerns with minimal recovery time.

Medium Chemical Peels

Medium peels penetrate the epidermis and upper dermis using trichloroacetic acid (TCA). These minimally invasive procedures can address more significant skin imperfections with a recovery period of approximately one week.

Deep Chemical Peels

Deep chemical peels reach the lower middle skin layer, effectively reducing deep wrinkles, significant sun damage, and advanced skin concerns. These treatments require longer recovery and have more pronounced side effects.
