Chemical Peels

After one treatment overall skin tone and complexion will appear smooth, glowing, and fresh. Depending on skin conditions, multiple treatments may be necessary to achieve desired results.

A series of 3-4 treatments applied once every 4 weeks will allow for optimal results for more skin conditions such as melasma and active acne.

Yes! You will begin peeling around 48 hours after peel application. This will continue until the 7th or 8th day from the date of your appointment.

Chemical peels can do a lot for your skin!

• Reduce or eliminate hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and Melasma
• Control acne and reduce acne scars
• Help erase fine lines and wrinkles
• Reduce enlarged pores
• Build collagen and elastin for a healthier, firmer complexion
• Improve the overall tone, texture, and clarity of the skin

Not at all, although you will feel a slight tingling sensation. With a fan in hand, it’s over in minutes and the tingling subsides. The peel solution has an ingredient in it that numbs the skin with each pass.

No! You can trim the skin, but you cannot remove it yourself. If you do, you will likely cause discoloration.

Because you will leave the office with the peel still on your skin, you should not wear makeup for at least 6 hours post peel. The peel self neutralizes, but after oxidizing, it has an orangey tint. You should make plans to go home immediately after to avoid sunlight (and crazy looks). Once you have removed the peel it is easy to wear makeup for about 48 hours until the peeling begins!

It really depends on what we are targeting and what your end goal is. Your provider will work with you to determine the right peel for you and a treatment plan. We might suggest a series of a few chemical peels in a row or we might also suggest that you put it in rotation with another treatment like SkinPen.
