WHAT IS A CHEMICAL PEEL?
WHO ARE CHEMICAL PEELS FOR?
A chemical peel is a cosmetic procedure that involves the application of a chemical solution to the skin to exfoliate and remove the outer layers. It is used to improve the appearance of the skin by reducing wrinkles, uneven skin tone, acne scars, and other skin imperfections. The chemical solution causes the outer layer of skin to peel off, revealing smoother, younger-looking skin underneath. Chemical peels can be performed on the face, neck, or hands, and they can vary in strength from mild to deep, depending on the desired results. It is important to consult with a dermatologist or skincare professional before undergoing a chemical peel to determine the most suitable type and strength for your skin type and concerns.
EVERYONE!!!
Chemical peels can be suitable for a wide range of individuals, but it is important to complete a consultation to determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure.
Generally, chemical peels can be performed on individuals who:
1. Have concerns such as wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, sun damage, uneven skin tone, or hyperpigmentation.
2. Have generally healthy skin without any active infections or open wounds.
3. Have realistic expectations about the results of the procedure.
4. Are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
5. Are not currently taking medications or using skincare products that may interfere with the healing process.
6. Have not recently undergone certain cosmetic procedures, such as laser treatments or facial surgery. It is important to disclose any medical conditions, allergies, or medications you are taking during your consultation.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
A chemical peel works by using a chemical solution to remove the outer layers of skin. This process promotes the growth of new, healthier skin cells and can improve the skin's appearance and texture. Here's a step-by-step breakdown of how a chemical peel works:
​
1. Preparation: The skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove any oils and to prepare the skin for the chemical peel.
​
2. Application: The chemical solution, which can include acids like alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA), beta-hydroxy acid (BHA), trichloroacetic acid (TCA), or phenol, is applied to the skin. The type and concentration of acid used will depend on the type of peel (light, medium, or deep) and the specific skin concerns being addressed.
​
3. Exfoliation: The chemical solution causes the outer layers of skin to exfoliate and eventually peel off. This process can take several days to complete.
​
4. Healing: Once the old skin has peeled off, new skin begins to form. This new skin is usually smoother and less wrinkled than the old skin.
​
5. Aftercare: Proper aftercare is crucial following a chemical peel. This can include using a gentle cleanser, applying a moisturizer, and avoiding sun exposure as the new skin will be sensitive. It's important to note that while chemical peels can provide significant improvements in skin texture and appearance, they are not a cure-all for all skin conditions.
