Chemical peels in San Antonio by Dr. Yu, are cost-effective alternative to Laser Skin Resurfacing. Chemical peels drastically improve the skin’s texture, pigmentation, and can eliminate fine lines and wrinkles. Dr. Kenneth Yu uses three types of chemical peels in his South Texas office, the choice of peel is personalized to your individual needs.
Superficial skin peels are an excellent option for virtually every skin type, skin color, and age. They are perfect for patients with very sensitive skin. Superficial chemical peels are in-office procedures that create a visibly smooth texture to your skin with no down time. When performed regularly, treatments provide noticeable anti-aging results.
Medium-depth chemical peels are a great option for wrinkles and uneven skin pigmentation. When performed regularly and combined with lightening agents, a medium-depth chemical peel can significantly soften your skin’s texture, reduce lines or wrinkles, and improve areas of skin discoloration.
Deep chemical peels are the most effective type of chemical peel to improve your skin and produce long-lasting results. Redness following this peel lasts 2 or more weeks and gradually fades. A deep chemical peel should only be performed by a medical physician, such as Dr. Yu, who is trained specifically in this procedure.
