A chemical peel uses a special solution to remove the top layer of dead skin cells from your face. During treatment, a trained specialist applies the solution to your skin. It works by breaking down the old, dead cells so they can naturally peel away over the next few days. Once they're gone, you're left with fresh, healthy skin.

We can adjust how strong the peel is based on what you need; light peels give you a gentle refresh while deeper peels tackle bigger problems. The treatment helps your skin make more collagen, which keeps it firm and smooth. You'll notice your skin looks brighter, feels softer, and has fewer wrinkles and dark spots.

Chemical peels work great for many different skin issues, including:

• Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Peels smooth them out by helping your skin make more collagen
• Acne Scars and Dark Spots: Peels lighten these areas so your skin tone looks more even
• Large Pores: They shrink pores, giving your skin a smoother look
• Rough Texture: Peels reveal softer, more refined skin
• Sun Damage and Age Spots: They fade discoloration for a brighter complexion
• Active Acne: Peels unclog pores and reduce breakouts

During your consultation, we'll look at your skin and figure out which type of chemical peel near me will work best for your concerns. Whether you have one concern you want to target or several, we'll create a plan that's right for you.

The chemical peel procedure is quick and straightforward. Here's what you can expect during your visit:

• We'll start by thoroughly cleansing your skin
• Our specialist will carefully apply the chemical solution to your face
• The solution will stay on your skin for a certain amount of time based on the peel type
• You might feel a slight tingling, warmth, or mild stinging sensation

The entire treatment typically takes 30 minutes or less!

After your treatment, your skin will go through a natural healing process. Here are some things to know:

• Your skin may look red and feel sensitive, similar to a mild sunburn
• Peeling typically begins within 2-3 days after treatment
• The peeling process usually lasts 3-7 days depending on peel strength
• It's crucial to avoid direct sun exposure and wear sunscreen daily
• Don't pick or pull at peeling skin

Taking care of your skin after a chemical peel helps your results last longer. Your skin will be more sensitive after treatment, so wearing sunscreen every day is a must (use SPF 30 or higher). Follow the skincare routine we recommend, which usually includes gentle cleansers and good moisturizers.

Many people get chemical peels regularly to keep their glow, typically every four to six weeks. Between treatments, using quality products with ingredients like vitamin C and hyaluronic acid can help maintain your results. Our team can suggest the right products for you and help you create a plan to keep your skin looking amazing.
