Chemical peel pictures let plastic surgeons demonstrate the improvements chemical peels can make. Depending upon the procedure, chemical peel pictures can show changes from subtle to dramatic. If taken soon after the procedure, the chemical peel pictures will often reveal the pink or red swollen skin that results from the peeling process. Good chemical peel pictures will be shot using the same angles and lighting, minimizing any differences between the chemical peel pictures that are not directly related to the procedure.

Because the treatment is so closely tailored to the individual, chemical peel pictures can often help prospective patients visualize the results they can personally expect, by identifying chemical peel pictures of persons with similar skin type and treatment. Looking through a number of different chemical peel pictures can also give patients a feel for the type of work the plastic surgeon does. Chemical peel pictures can be the best recommendation to choose a certain surgeon, and an absence of chemical peel pictures should be questioned by the prospective patient.

Examining a variety of chemical peel pictures can help patients understand the procedure and help minimize confusion. Patients who have seen chemical peel pictures may also have a more realistic idea of what to expect after surgery.
