Seeking skin rejuvenation? Chemical peels are a favored treatment for enhancing appearance. Our med spa’s array of chemical peels cater to diverse skin types and issues, promising smoother, glowing skin with decreased signs of aging. Here we unfold the concept, perks, procedure, and duration of chemical peels.

What are Chemical Peels?

Chemical peels are transformative, non-invasive treatments employing a chemical solution to peel away the skin’s outer layer, revealing a rejuvenated complexion. These peels, rich in glycolic, salicylic, or lactic acid, are adept at exfoliating dead skin, aiming for an even skin tone.

A chemical peel involves applying a solution to the skin to shed the top layers, encouraging new, smoother, and often less wrinkled skin to surface. Suitable for the face, neck, or hands, the treatment’s strength determines if multiple sessions are necessary to achieve the desired outcome. Post-treatment, a short 2-3 day downtime is typical. Consider our package deals for combined services for enhanced results.

Benefits of Chemical Peels

Chemical peels can offer a variety of benefits, including:

• Improved Skin Tone and Texture: Chemical peels can improve the appearance of skin texture and tone by removing dead skin cells, smoothing out rough patches, and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
• Reduced Hyperpigmentation: Chemical peels can also help to reduce hyperpigmentation and age spots by removing the top layer of skin, which contains excess melanin.
• Acne Scarring: Chemical peels can improve the appearance of acne scars by removing the top layer of skin and stimulating the production of collagen, which can help to fill in the depressions left by acne.
• Reduced Pore Size: Chemical peels can also help to reduce the size of pores by removing excess oil and dead skin cells that can clog pores and cause breakouts.

What to Expect During Treatment

Before your chemical peel, our licensed aesthetician will perform a skin analysis to determine which type of chemical peel is best suited for your skin type and concerns. During the treatment, the chemical solution will be applied to your skin using a brush or cotton swab. You may feel a slight stinging or burning sensation during the treatment, but this is normal and will subside quickly.

After the chemical solution has been applied, you may experience some redness, swelling, or peeling of the skin for a few days. It is important to avoid sun exposure and to use a broad-spectrum sunscreen after your chemical peel to protect your skin from further damage.

How Long Does a Chemical Peel Take?

The length of time for a chemical peel treatment varies depending on the type and strength of the chemical solution used. Typically, a chemical peel treatment can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. However, it is important to note that the results of a chemical peel may not be immediately visible. It can take several days for the outer layer of skin to peel away, revealing the smoother, more youthful skin underneath.

In conclusion, chemical peels can offer a variety of benefits for those seeking a non-invasive skin treatment to rejuvenate their appearance. At our med spa, our licensed aesthetician will work with you to determine which type of chemical peel is best suited for your skin type and concerns, and will guide you through the treatment process to ensure optimal results.
