CHEMICAL PEELS

Chemical peels are a safe and non-invasive type of exfoliation used to improve the appearance of the skin by removing the top layer of dead skin. There are various types of chemical peels (ie. Lactic, Glycolic etc) which are applied to the skin to stimulate the top layers and allows new skin to regenerate and stimulate collagen production. The new skin appears smoother and younger looking.  The name of this treatment is not as intimidating as it may sound. Most chemical peels are derived from natural sources such as willow bark extract, milk, fruit, citrus and more. Chemical Peels are used to treat a verity of different skin conditions and are used to treat wrinkles, pigmentation, breakouts, and scars.

This treatment takes about 45 minutes to complete.

There can be slight to moderate down time with this treatment. Chemical peels can be done at different depths — light, medium or deep — depending on your desired result. The deeper the peel strength the longer the downtime.  The treated area may be pink/rosy, and potentially sensitive post-treatment due to stimulation of the skin. As it is an exfoliating treatment, it is possible for the skin to be dry and possibly flaky 1-5 days after your treatment as the skin regenerates depending on the type of peel and intensity. We recommend not to wash the skin or apply makeup for the rest of the day after treatment.

With every exfoliation treatment, please avoid direct sun exposure for a minimum of 2 weeks after your treatment and be diligent with wearing SPF.

Immediately after the treatment skin will feel smooth and skin will look glowing. Results will be noticed up to 7-12 days after treatment, depending on peel type/intensity and the individual’s skin regenerating time. To achieve desired results a series of peels may have to be done.
