Chemical Peels
What is a Chemical Peel?
A Chemical Peel is a professional skin treatment designed to exfoliate and rejuvenate your skin. It involves the application of a specially formulated chemical solution to the skin, which removes dead skin cells and stimulates the regeneration of healthier skin beneath. This treatment can address a wide range of skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne, uneven skin tone, and sun damage, revealing smoother, brighter, and more youthful-looking skin.
How Does a Chemical Peel Work?
Chemical peels use a variety of acids—such as alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs), and trichloroacetic acid (TCA)—to exfoliate the skin and are a fantastic resurfacing treatment. The chosen solution works by loosening the bonds between the outer layer of dead skin cells, allowing them to shed and making way for fresher, younger-looking skin. The depth of the peel can vary depending upon which you require, with superficial peels affecting only the outermost skin layers, and deeper peels targeting more layers for more intensive skin renewal.
Key Benefits of Chemical Peels:
- Improves Skin Texture & Tone – Helps remove dead skin cells, revealing smoother and more radiant skin.
- Reduces Fine Lines & Wrinkles – Stimulates collagen production, improving the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Fights Acne – Unclogs pores, reduces inflammation, and helps prevent future breakouts.
- Brightens & Evens Skin Tone – Helps reduce pigmentation, sun spots, and uneven skin tone for a more youthful complexion.
- Non-Invasive – A quick, non-surgical treatment with no downtime.
What to Expect During Treatment
A typical chemical peel treatment takes 30-45 minutes, depending on the type of peel being used. During the procedure, you may experience a slight tingling or warming sensation, which is normal. The peel solution will be applied to your face and left on for a short period of time before being neutralized or removed. The depth of the peel determines the level of sensation and recovery time.
Aftercare & Results
After your chemical peel, your skin may feel slightly irritated or dry, and you may experience mild redness or peeling in the days following the treatment. This is a normal part of the skin renewal process. Here are some aftercare tips to ensure the best results:
- Avoid sun exposure and always apply sunscreen daily.
- Hydrate your skin with a gentle moisturizer to promote healing.
- Refrain from using harsh exfoliating products for a few days.
You will start to see improvements immediately, with continued results becoming more noticeable over the next several weeks as fresh, healthy skin emerges. For optimal results, a series of treatments may be recommended, depending on your skin concerns.
How Many Sessions Are Needed?
The number of treatments depends on your skin’s needs and goals. Typically, 3-6 sessions spaced 1-2 weeks apart depending upon the type of peel and are recommended for the best results. For maintenance, a treatment every 3-6 months is advised.
