Chemical peels provide a wide range of skin benefits, depending on the type of peel you choose. Here are some of the key advantages:
- Improved Skin Texture: Smoother skin by exfoliating dead skin cells and reducing acne scars.
- Brightens Complexion: Diminishes dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone.
- Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Encourages collagen production for firmer, youthful skin.
- Treats Acne: Exfoliates clogged pores and helps prevent future breakouts.
- Minimal Downtime: Depending on the method of peeling, recovery is typically quick with minimal disruption to daily life.
The chemical peel removes the outermost layers of your skin, exfoliating the outermost layers and revealing fresh, smoother skin. Dead skin cells are broken down by the solution, so they can peel away naturally. Over time, new, healthier skin cells are generated, improving the skin’s texture, tone, and clarity.
Here’s how it typically works:
- Consultation: Your skin is assessed, and the correct type of peel is chosen based on your skin type and goals.
- Application: After applying the chemical solution to your skin, you’ll be asked to relax while it works.
- Post-Care: Depending on the depth of the peel, you may experience some peeling or redness after the peel, but this typically resolves within a few days to a week.
Yes, there are several types of chemical peels, each designed for different skin concerns:
- Superficial Peels: These light peels treat mild skin issues like dryness, rough texture, and minor pigmentation. VI Peel® is a popular option for sensitive skin or first-time peelers.
- Medium Peels: The medium peel penetrates deeper into the skin to address more moderate issues, like fine lines, acne scars, and more prominent pigmentation.
- Deep Peels: For severe skin concerns like deep wrinkles and sun damage, deep peels provide intense exfoliation but require more downtime.
We also offer specific peels, such as the VI Peel® and Perfect Derma Peel®, for acne, pigmentation, and anti-aging.
