Chemical peels are a surprisingly versatile and effective treatment option for many common concerns, including signs of aging, acne and more. At West Sound Dermatology, patients in Poulsbo, Washington can choose from superficial and medium chemical peels.
A chemical peel is a procedure in which medical grade ingredients are applied to the skin in order to thoroughly exfoliate or resurface it. There are several types of chemical peels which may be available, ranging from light or medium depth peels. This means that a chemical peel is a versatile treatment option and that experiences and recovery will vary. During a consultation, your chemical peel provider can explain different types of peels and your best option.
A light or superficial chemical peel removes only the outer layer of the skin, known as the epidermis. This improves milder issues in the skin such as fine lines, dryness, acne or rough texture. A light peel typically requires no downtime.
Medium chemical peels remove the epidermis and some cells from the dermis, or middle layer of the skin. Medium peels can be used to improve wrinkles, pigmentation issues or acne scars.
The VI Peel is a medium-depth chemical peel treatment created by the Vitality Institute, a leader in the clinical grade skincare space. This harmonious blend of powerful ingredients can benefit all skin types and tones for a radiant glow.
This peel offers many benefits, including:
PCA Skin® created PCA Peels, a professional line of chemical peels formulated to improve acne, improve the appearance of aging or dull skin, and improve skin texture and tone.

There are different formulas available for a variety of skin types. PCA peels are safe for all skin types and can improve unwanted skin damage for a more confident you!
