Reveal Fresh, Refined Skin with Chemical Peels
Chemical peels offer a customizable approach to skin renewal by using carefully selected solutions to exfoliate damaged surface layers and encourage a fresher-looking complexion. At Aesthetic Chemistry MedSpa, peel treatments can be selected based on your skin type, concerns, and goals, allowing us to address everything from dullness and uneven texture to discoloration, breakouts, and visible signs of aging.
With different peel options and intensities available, your treatment can be tailored to provide the level of exfoliation and renewal that makes sense for your skin.
What Is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is a professional resurfacing treatment that applies a specialized solution to the skin to encourage controlled exfoliation. Depending on the type and depth of peel selected, treatment can help remove damaged surface cells and support the skin’s natural renewal process, revealing a smoother, brighter, and more even-looking complexion.
What Skin Concerns Can Chemical Peels Address?
Chemical peels can be customized to target a variety of complexion concerns. Depending on the peel selected, treatment may help improve the appearance of uneven tone and texture, dullness, sun-related discoloration, blemishes, post-acne marks, fine lines, and other visible signs of aging.
Are All Chemical Peels the Same?
No. Chemical peels can vary in their ingredients, strength, depth, and intended purpose. Some provide lighter exfoliation with less downtime, while others offer more intensive resurfacing for specific concerns. Our team can evaluate your skin and recommend a peel option suited to your needs, goals, and preferred level of recovery.
Who Is a Good Candidate for a Chemical Peel?
Chemical peels may be an option for patients looking to refresh dull or uneven skin, address certain types of discoloration, improve texture, or maintain a more polished complexion. Because different peel formulations are suited to different skin needs, a consultation allows our team to determine which option may be appropriate for you.
How Should I Prepare for My Chemical Peel Appointment?
Preparing your skin appropriately can help support a comfortable treatment and recovery. Because recommendations may vary depending on the chemical peel selected, our team will provide instructions tailored to your treatment plan.
Before your appointment:
- Avoid excessive sun exposure and arrive without a sunburn or significant skin irritation.
- Follow our team’s guidance on pausing retinoids, exfoliating acids, scrubs, or other potentially irritating skincare products.
- Let us know about any active breakouts, cold sores, open lesions, or other changes in your skin before treatment.
- Tell us about recent aesthetic treatments and any medications or topical products you currently use.
- Arrive with clean skin when possible, without makeup or other unnecessary products.
What Steps Should I Follow After My Chemical Peel?
Post-treatment care depends on the type and depth of your chemical peel. Our team will provide specific aftercare instructions based on the peel you receive.
- Let Skin Shed Naturally: Flaking or peeling may occur as your skin renews. Avoid picking, pulling, or prematurely removing shedding skin.
- Keep Skincare Gentle: Use only the products recommended by our team while your skin is recovering, and avoid exfoliants or potentially irritating active ingredients until cleared to resume them.
- Prioritize Sun Protection: Minimize direct sun exposure and follow your provider’s recommendations for appropriate sun protection after treatment.
- Ease Back Into Your Routine: Your provider can advise you on when to resume makeup and your usual skincare products based on your peel and how your skin responds.
