How are chemical peels different from the over the counter versions?

By Dr. Mark Hamilton

Question:
I’ve seen a lot of over the counter facial peels. How are these different from chemical peels at a doctor’s office?

Answer:
Over the counter facial peels are very non-invasive providing a very minimal improvement to the skin. Chemical peels administered at a doctor’s office offer much stronger active ingredients and are carefully chosen to suit your skin’s specific needs providing true results.
