About Chemical Peels
Good for all skin types, chemical peels provide an adjustable-depth, skin-rejuvenating option, which will effectively reduce the depth of surface lines, improve skin texture, fade pigmentation from sun damage, and help clear acne/blemished skin. Chemical peels work by breaking down and removing the top damaged layer of skin in order to allow a healthier layer to take its place. A consultation with our plastic surgeon, Dr. Petroff, or our licensed aesthetician can help determine the correct chemical peel for each patient. Patients can call Petroff Center Plastic Surgery and Medi-Spa in Lake Oswego, OR to learn more.

Chemical Peel Reviews
What to Expect
Before any chemical peel, the skin will be assessed to determine the exact skin concerns and the most appropriate type of peel. The skin will be thoroughly cleansed and prepped prior to the peel. The length of treatment depends on the type of peel administered. Afterwards, the patient will need to follow a skincare routine to protect the skin and enhance the effects of the peel. Additional treatments may be scheduled for maximum results.
Anticipated Results
Patients can expect to see brighter, clearer, and more tightened skin after receiving a chemical peel. Depending on the depth of the peel and the specific case, the results will vary. However, patients can typically expect to see positive effects for 3 - 6 months following their treatment before they are recommended to return for another session.
Peel Away Your Skin Problems
Problematic skin can be peeled away with a light, medium, or deep chemical peel. The peels are great at clearing up a number of skin issues, such as fine lines and wrinkles or tone and texture irregularities, to leave you with better, clearer, more rejuvenated skin. Call our office to schedule a consultation to learn how a chemical peel could benefit you.
