I have heard that chemical peels are very uncomfortable. How will I know if I can tolerate a chemical peel?
The key with having a comfortable chemical peel is in preparation. Dr. Steinsapir has evolved an entire system for making a comfortable full-face chemical peel. The result is an incredibly effective treatment that is surprisingly comfortable. You might be shocked to learn that most of our patients find they only need extra-strength Tylenol after their chemical peel.
