What is a Chemical Peel?

Chemical peels can help to improve the appearance of the skin by using a chemical solution. This solution works by removing the outermost, damaged layers of the skin to reveal healthy skin underneath. Dr. David Baird offers glycolic and salicylic acid peels to address an array of skin irregularities. Chemical peels can help improve:

  • Acne scars
  • Age spots
  • Freckles
  • Hyperpigmentation
  • Sun-damaged skin
  • Rough/scaly skin
  • Fine lines and wrinkles

I’ve been a patient here for about 4 years, and I couldn’t be more pleased. The staff is really nice, and appointments are 90% on time, and the doctor is really great. He doesn’t over prescribe/offer unneeded treatments, and he is really just a nice guy. 10/10, 100% recommended.”

However, you may want to avoid this treatment if you have a history of abnormal skin scarring or have used certain acne treatments within the last year. A consultation with Dr. Baird can help to best determine if this treatment is a good match for you.
