Facial Enhancement With Chemical Peel
Nearly everyone wants to have perfect skin that they can feel confident showing off every day. Yet this is a difficult feat to achieve, especially since many of us have skin concerns such as acne scars, wrinkles, and skin discoloration. These skin issues can often cause people to feel the need to cover up their skin with makeup or feel uncomfortable taking pictures of themselves. Disliking how your skin looks in everyday life can cause an emotional toll that heavily weighs on you. Fortunately, you don’t have to silently suffer through your skin concerns.
People who are looking to address skin concerns and improve their skin’s appearance may be good candidates for chemical peels. These skin-resurfacing treatments are performed in Denver, CO, to restore patients’ confidence in their skin.

What Is a Chemical Peel?
Chemical peels are non-surgical skin-resurfacing treatments that remove damaged skin cells to reveal skin that appears smoother, clearer, and healthier. These treatments work by applying a chemical solution to the face, which will peel off the surface layer of the skin, removing unwanted skin concerns.
Why Choose Chemical Peels?
Some of the benefits of chemical peel treatments include:
- Improves skin tone and texture
- Reduces the appearance of skin concerns
- No surgery required
What Are My Chemical Peel Options?
Everyone has unique skin and different skin concerns, so the best chemical peel for each patient will vary. During a chemical peel consultation, your doctor can make recommendations based on your skin type, concerns, and facial goals.
In general, there are three depths of chemical peels. This ranges from light to medium to deep. Light peels are typically used for treating skin unevenness, acne, and fine lines. Deeper peels are usually used to treat deeper wrinkles.
Dr. Geoffrey Kim uses Image Skincare Peels, which can treat a variety of skin issues.

How Are Chemical Peels Performed?
During a chemical peel treatment, you can expect the following general steps:
- Your chemical peel treatment plan will be reviewed with you before the procedure begins.
- Dr. Kim will brush the selected chemical solution over the facial skin. The solution will sit on the skin for the required amount of time.
- The solution will be removed from the skin, either by applying a neutral solution or washing the chemical solution off.
What Is Chemical Peel Recovery Like?
Your chemical peel recovery time will depend on the type of peel you receive. Generally speaking, patients can expect redness, flaking skin, and irritation, which will fade over time to reveal a rejuvenated layer of skin. Light chemical peels will require less recovery time than deep chemical peels.
When Will I See My Chemical Peel Results?
Most patients see the full results of their chemical peel a few months after their treatment. Chemical peel results can be maintained through proper skincare (cleansing & moisturizing), daily sun protection with an SPF of 30 or higher, and additional chemical peel treatments.
