Here at Generations Medical Spa in Cary, NC, we can help!

What You Should Expect From a Chemical Peel?

There are a lot of benefits as a result of this treatment!

Improved Skin Texture

Skin texture is actually a fairly common concern for many people. If you notice that your skin is rough or bumpy in certain areas or simply has uneven skin texture, this treatment can do wonders. It will smooth away that uneven texture, leaving you with smoother skin that is also visibly improved! This is one of the best treatments available for improving the texture of the skin.

Improved Skin Tone

Uneven skin tone due to redness, hyperpigmentation, and other issues is also a pretty common concern. This treatment will even out the tone of the skin and this often results in the skin appearing much healthier than it did prior to treatment.

Diminished Fine Lines & Wrinkles

If wrinkles or fine lines are a concern of yours, this treatment can also help with that. It can effectively smooth away the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, particularly on the forehead, around the mouth, and around the eyes. With continued treatment, many wrinkles and fine lines can be completely erased!

Diminished Discoloration & Acne Scarring

Discoloration caused by sun damage is another issue that can be frustrating and a concern for many people. This treatment can significantly diminish the appearance of the discoloration caused by sun damage, even reducing age spots! It can also improve the appearance of scars left behind from past acne. Another scarring that is mild to moderate can also be dramatically diminished as a result of this treatment.

Firmer, Plumper Skin

Has your skin lost elasticity in some places, causing it to appear saggy? What about lost volume in other parts of the face such as the cheeks? If either of these issues is a concern, this treatment can help. It can firm up the skin in many places as well as restore lost volume in others.

Shrunken Pores

Enlarged pores can be a real burden for a lot of people. Debris can become trapped deep within the pores and cause them to appear large. This can make the skin appear unhealthy and uneven. This treatment, however, can help! It will effectively clear out all of that trapped dirt and oil and shrink down pores, making the skin look much more even and healthy after only 1 treatment.

Collagen Boost

As we age, the skin’s natural production of collagen slows which can result in skin appearing older than it once did. This treatment will actually trigger the skin to produce more collagen, even over time, which will help the skin look firmer, plumper, and more youthful!

Glowing Skin

Did you feel like your skin used to appear more radiant than it does now? If so, you are not alone. Dull skin is a common issue for a lot of people and even with the right skincare routine, skin can sometimes not regain the glowing radiance it once had. This treatment, however, can help restore that glow. It will take care of dull skin and leave you with refreshed, radiant skin after just 1 treatment session.

This treatment works by penetrating the deeper layers of the skin, promoting healing, and bringing those healthy, refreshed skin cells to the surface. So, it works for all skin tones and types.
