It is no secret that some forms of cosmetic enhancement involve a bit of recovery time, like a chemical peel.

But the results of a Hetter Chemical Peel are well worth the wait.  And it is important to plan for this procedure unlike Samantha from Sex and the City! Typically, a Hetter Chemical Peel from Augusta Aesthetic Surgery takes about a week to 10 days to heal. That initial healing time is followed by an extended period of redness, but don’t worry. By then it is safe to apply make-up. During the recovery time, it is important to limit sun exposure and use sunscreen because your skin will be extra sensitive.

Despite the healing process, you will be amazed by what you see in the mirror. You can expect about 80 to 90 percent of your fine wrinkles to be gone. And if you are looking for a non-surgical alternative, the Hetter Peel might be a good option for you. The peel works by gently burning the top layer of skin to reveal a fresh face. And it is brushed on the skin while under anesthesia.

Not all skin types are candidates and not all patients are suitable for the protracted recovery. To find out if a Hetter Chemical Peel is right for you, give us a call today to set up a free consultation with Dr. Gary Williamson.
