If you are trying to decide between a superficial and a medium-depth chemical peel, it’s best to consider how quickly you want to recover and which flaws you are looking to address.
The depth of your peel will impact your recovery time and results.

A superficial peel reduces cells on the surface of your skin.* This can with dry skin and light wrinkling. Most patients require less than a day of healing.

Medium-depth peels penetrate deeper, remedying acne scars, skin discoloration, and deep wrinkles. Deeper peels can take up to five days to heal.*

*Individual results may vary.
