Chemical Peels are a fantastic way to achieve youthful, glowing skin and can help a number of troublesome skin conditions. They are also a great way to prep the skin for some more invasive treatments like microneedling and laser treatments. The word “chemical” may often alarm individuals, but the active acids in most chemical peels are derived from natural sources.
Superficial chemical peels and facials are quick, economical, no-downtime procedures that renew your skin. They remove dead skin cells and stimulate the growth of new cells. They can help alleviate specific skin issues like dark spots, acne or discoloration.
There are many different formulations of chemical peels and types of facials. Our aesthetician will select a custom treatment specific to your needs, issues, and desired outcome. Book a complimentary skincare consultation with us to see which is the best option for you.
The Rules of Chemical Peels
The first two are most important!
- Do NOT pick or peel any of the flaking skin. It needs to come off naturally. Picking can lead to scarring and provides a less effective treatment. You may trim the larger flakes with cuticle scissors if needed.
- Wear sunscreen daily, but notably for 4-6 weeks after the peel to protect the new, youthful skin.
- Keep your skin moist to aid in the skin peeling appropriately. Mild facial moisturizers or Aquaphor are great.
- Do NOT overheat the treated area for 4-5 days after. Excessive workouts, saunas, hot tubs, and hot water should all be avoided.
- Wash face with tepid water and mild cleanser as needed. Do NOT rub or scrub, dab dry with a towel.
- Three treatments 4-6 weeks apart are recommended for best results. We offer a package of 3 with a 20% discount.
- Enjoy the glow of your new skin!
