Facial Peel:

The treatment of facial skin using chemical peels has been used for many years in the field of dermatology. In the 1990s, many physicians discontinued the art of chemical peels in favor of laser resurfacing. Although Dr. Rodgers still recommends laser resurfacing in many cases, he has returned to a milder form of peeling as the treatment of choice for patients primarily affected by sun damage, uneven pigmentation, and fine wrinkling. Dr. Rodgers is achieving better results with a faster recovery period than previously possible with laser resurfacing. Chemical peeling is performed in the office, takes about one hour, and has a recovery period of about 7 to 10 days.
