What Is a Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel involves applying a customized solution to the skin to exfoliate and remove dead cells from the surface. This process not only refreshes the skin but also stimulates the growth of new, healthy cells. While most commonly used on the face, chemical peels are highly effective on other areas such as the chest, back, and décolletage.

This treatment is available in varying depths—light, medium, and deep—tailored to your specific concerns. Depending on your skin’s needs, multiple sessions may be recommended to achieve optimal results.

Benefits of Chemical Peels

The benefits of chemical peels are numerous, making them a popular choice for addressing a variety of skin concerns:

• Diminishes Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Removes the outer layer of damaged skin, smoothing texture.
• Evens Skin Tone: Reduces discoloration, hyperpigmentation, and sun damage.
• Minimizes Scars: Improves the appearance of acne, surgical, or trauma scars.
• Boosts Radiance: Reveals a fresh, glowing complexion by eliminating dead skin cells.

When combined with other treatments, chemical peels can enhance and prolong results, making them a versatile addition to your skincare routine.

Why Consider a Chemical Peel?

If you’ve noticed dull, uneven skin tone or clogged pores that don’t respond to regular exfoliation, a chemical peel may be the perfect solution. Regular peels help maintain a smoother, brighter complexion and are often used seasonally or monthly for continued skin health.

This treatment works to deeply exfoliate, allowing skincare products to penetrate more effectively and makeup to blend seamlessly. By removing dead skin cells, chemical peels leave your skin feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

Types of Chemical Peels

Chemical peels come in three distinct depths, each offering unique benefits based on your skin concerns:

1. Light Chemical Peel
• Targets the epidermis, the skin’s outermost layer.
• Ideal for fine lines, mild acne, uneven tone, and dryness.
• Can be repeated every two to five weeks for ongoing rejuvenation.
2. Medium Chemical Peel
• Penetrates both the epidermis and the upper dermis.
• Effectively treats wrinkles, acne scars, and moderate pigmentation issues.
• May require periodic maintenance for lasting results.
3. Deep Chemical Peel
• Targets deeper layers for more dramatic results.
• Best for severe wrinkles, significant scarring, or precancerous growths.
• Requires a longer recovery period and is often a one-time procedure.

Customized Care for Optimal Results

To determine the most suitable chemical peel for your skin, a consultation is essential. During this meeting, your skin type, concerns, and goals will be assessed to create a customized plan. While chemical peels are effective for many skin issues, they are not intended to tighten loose skin or eliminate deep scars.

Combine Treatments for Maximum Benefits

For clients seeking even more dramatic results, chemical peels can be paired with complementary treatments like dermaplaning or microneedling. Combining these procedures enhances skin rejuvenation, providing a comprehensive approach to achieving radiant skin.

Dermaplaning: The Perfect Add-On

Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation technique that gently removes dead skin cells, dirt, and peach fuzz from the skin’s surface using a sterile blade. This treatment improves skin texture, brightens tone, and creates a flawless canvas for makeup. When paired with a chemical peel, dermaplaning enhances exfoliation, maximizing the benefits of both treatments.
