ABOUT chemical peels
Chemical peels are exfoliating solutions that are customized for different skin types and incorporate a variety of active ingredients that work to exfoliate dead skin cells and reveal a new layer of skin in face or body. Depending on the depth of the peel, different layers of the skin will be targeted and the peel may be applied differently. Superficial skin peels are applied in layers and left on your skin. They’re not timed and removed like deeper chemical peels. The strength of a superficial peel is controlled by the number of layers applied.
wHAT IT IS
It involves applying a medical grade chemical solution to your face and body to remove the top layer of skin cells and stimulate a fresher, brighter, younger looking complexion. When the dull, damaged surface layer of your skin is removed, new healthier cells grow in its place. Your provider will help suggest the grade of peel that works best and safe for your skin type and concerns.
How it works
wHAT to expect
On average, a chemical peel can take between 30-90 minutes, depending on the type of peel and number of layers being applied. Depending on the strength of your peel, you may feel a warming sensation throughout the application. You can expect little to no downtime for light peels, while medium and deep peels may require a few weeks to recover. You should avoid the sun and any active skincare ingredients (Retinol, Vitamin C, etc.) until your skin is fully healed.
