What is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is a skin rejuvenation treatment that uses a potent chemical solution to exfoliate away uneven skin tone, rough skin, sun exposure, and much more. After treatment, the skin peels and reveals healthy, youthful, new skin underneath. Chemical peels are often made with more potent versions of the active ingredients you may use at home, such as glycolic acid, salicylic acid, and alpha hydroxy acids. Chemical peels can be personalized to your unique skincare needs, whether as a single deep treatment or a regular way to maintain glowing skin.
What Can Chemical Peels Treat?
Chemical peels can treat a wide variety of skin concerns, including:
- Acne scars
- Sun exposure
- Skin texture
- Fine wrinkles
- Deep scars
- Brownish discoloration
- And more
Chemical peels can be performed at different depths depending on your needs. For example, a deep peel comes with significant downtime but can treat the deepest concerns and significantly transform your skin. Medium peels can treat middle layer concerns while a light chemical peel can refresh the skin with minimal downtime. Our team can help you pick from a deep chemical peel, medium chemical peel, and light chemical peel according to your needs.
What Happens During a Chemical Peel?
During a chemical peel, your skin will be cleansed and your skincare expert will help you select the right formulation for your goals. A chemical solution is applied over your skin and left for a certain amount of time. Then, the ingredients are neutralized and your skin is prepared for the rest of the day.
