What Are Chemical Peels Used For?

Chemical peels are cosmetic treatments used to improve the appearance of the skin. They remove the outer layers of skin to address issues such as fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, and texture, revealing fresher, healthier skin underneath.

What Can I Expect During a Chemical Peel Treatment?

When you undergo a chemical peel treatment, the extent of peeling varies from person to person. Factors such as skin type and previous exposure to treatments can influence results. Generally, you can expect visible peeling to initiate within 48 hours but may take up to five days for some. Oily skin types often peel less intensely than those with dry or sensitive skin. We aim to set realistic expectations to ensure your journey toward healthier skin is smooth.

How Long Will the Peeling Process Last After My Chemical Peel?

Peeling typically lasts between five to seven days following a chemical face peel. Scheduling your treatment mid-week can be advantageous, as most peeling occurs over the weekend when you may be less likely to engage in social activities. By planning accordingly, you'll give yourself the opportunity to recover while minimizing visibility during your daily routine.

What Are the Benefits of Chemical Peels?

The benefits of chemical peel treatments include clearer skin tone, reduced acne, and diminished pigmentation. As skin cells shed, they reveal fresher, revitalized skin beneath. Regular chemical peels promote collagen and elastin production, enhancing your skin’s firmness and appearance, leading to a youthful glow that lasts long after treatment.

What Should I Know About Post-Chemical Peel Care?

Taking care of your skin following a chemical peel is crucial to achieving the best results. Use a gentle, hydrating moisturizer to soothe your skin during the healing process and prevent irritation. It’s essential to avoid sun exposure and use SPF 30 or higher to protect your fresh skin. Following these guidelines ensures a successful recovery and optimal benefits from your treatment.

What conditions do chemical peels address?

Chemical peels can effectively treat a variety of skin conditions, including: Acne and acne scars, Hyperpigmentation (sun spots or age spots), Rosacea, Sun-damaged skin, Enlarged pores, Fine lines and wrinkles

What does a chemical peel feel like?

During a chemical peel, you may experience a tingling or stinging sensation as the solution is applied. The intensity can vary depending on the depth of the peel. Most patients describe the sensation as mild to moderate discomfort that subsides shortly after the procedure.
