What are some of the conditions that can be treated by Chemical Peel?
Chemical peel, although initially publicized as mainly a cosmetic procedure, is used therapeutically as well. Cosmetic indications for the use of chemical peel include wrinkles caused by aging, sun damage, hereditary factors, superficial acne scarring, and irregular pigmentation of the skin, including melasma, freckles or age spots. Therapeutic indications for this type of surgery are precancerous conditions such as keratosis (thick, rough, reddish growths).
