What would your perfect skin rejuvenation treatment look like? Many people say their ideal option would be customizable, have minimal downtime, and give them dramatically improved skin. A chemical peel can meet all these requirements. These versatile treatments restore smooth, even skin while fitting into your schedule and lifestyle.
What is a Chemical or Facial Peel?
A chemical peel, also known as a facial peel, although some can be used on the body as well, is a type of chemical exfoliation. While treatments like dermaplaning use manual exfoliation by buffing away the outer layers of dead skin, a chemical peel breaks up these layers using acids like glycolic, lactic, and trichloroacetic acids. The dull and damaged layers are peeled away to reveal brighter, healthier-looking skin.
What Do Chemical Peels Do For Your Skin?
In general, chemical peels rejuvenate and improve your skin by removing the outer layers where damaged and dead cells accumulate, allowing fresh cells from deeper into the skin to rise to the surface. We offer a range of peels, including PCA SKIN corrective peels and the SkinCeuticals® TCA Peel. Your Juvanew Medspa expert may recommend chemical peels to treat:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Mild skin laxity
- Dullness
- Hyperpigmentation
- Sun damage
- Enlarged pores
- Uneven texture
- Acne scars
When used regularly, chemical peels can keep your skin bright and youthful-looking. Regular light peels also offer an excellent tool for managing oily, acne-prone skin, helping to control and reduce breakouts.
How Often Should I Get a Chemical Peel?
Most people will need a series of facial peels to achieve their goals, followed by occasional maintenance sessions. Lighter peels have minimal downtime but require more treatments to achieve results. You can have these peels as often as every month. More intensive peels are usually spaced a few months apart and will require between three and six sessions. How often you need a maintenance treatment will depend on your skin concerns and other factors.
Is There Any Downtime After Chemical Peels?
Downtime after a chemical peel varies depending on the strength of the peel. Light peels often require no downtime, although your skin will often look flushed for a few hours afterward. More intensive peels will usually result in a few days of redness and flaking. You must avoid sun exposure and wear sunscreen when outdoors while your skin heals.
Am I a Good Candidate for Chemical Peels?
Chemical peels are a customizable option suitable for all skin types and tones. With a range of peels to choose from, we can find one that fits with your goals and schedule. Good candidates for a chemical peel have realistic expectations and want to address a variety of skin concerns. You should not have a chemical peel on an area that is irritated or has an active skin condition.
