Chemical Peels

A chemical peel is a cosmetic treatment that involves applying a chemical solution to the skin to exfoliate and eventually peel off. This process helps improve the appearance of the skin on the face, neck, decollate, back or hands. Chemical peels can help treat wrinkles, skin discoloration, acne scars, and sun damage. The intensity of the peel can vary, ranging from superficial to deep, depending on the desired results. It is important to consult with a licensed professional to determine the most suitable type of chemical peel for individual skin concerns and goals.

    1. Consultation: Schedule a thorough consultation with your skincare professional to discuss your skin type, concerns, and treatment goals. This will help determine the best chemical peel for you.

    2. Follow Pre-Treatment Instructions: Your provider may give you specific instructions tailored to your skin. Common recommendations include avoiding certain medications, products, or treatments such as retinoids, exfoliants, and sun exposure.

    3. Hydrate: Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your treatment. Hydrated skin responds better to chemical peels.

    4. Avoid Sun Exposure: Minimize direct sun exposure for at least a week before your appointment. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF if you must be outdoors.

    5. Refrain from Abrasive Treatments: Avoid waxing, microdermabrasion, or any treatments that may irritate the skin at least one week prior to your peel.

    6. Adjust Skincare Routine: Depending on your provider's advice, you may need to temporarily stop using certain skincare products, such as acids or harsh cleansers, to minimize sensitivity.

    7. Avoid Smoking and Alcohol: Refrain from smoking and limit alcohol consumption a few days before treatment to enhance your skin's health and recovery.

    8. Arrive with Clean Skin: On the day of your treatment, arrive with clean, makeup-free skin to ensure the best application and results.

Superficial Peel

A superficial chemical peel is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that involves applying a mild acid solution to the skin to exfoliate and remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells. This process stimulates cell turnover, revealing smoother, brighter skin underneath. Superficial chemical peels are typically used to improve the appearance of fine lines, mild discoloration, and rough skin texture. They are considered safe for all skin types and require minimal to no downtime for recovery.

This type of peel is typically recommended for individuals who have already experienced a superficial peel and are looking to address concerns such as fine lines, uneven skin tone, and mild scarring. Intermediate peels usually contain stronger acids, which help to exfoliate the skin more deeply.

  • There are three main types of acids used in peels: alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), and trichloroacetic acid (TCA).

TCA is a stronger acid and is used for deeper peels.
