What are Chemical Peels?

Chemical peels offer precise and personalized skin rejuvenation. By causing controlled peeling of the skin’s outermost layers, old, dull cells peel away to reveal firm, radiant skin beneath. Can be used to treat almost all skin conditions ranging from acne to fine lines and pigmentation.  Safe for all skin types and ethnicities including sensitive skin.

What can I expect during a chemical peel?

Before your chemical peel begins, we will cleanse and degrease your skin to prepare it for treatment. We will then apply the peel directly to your skin. Once the peel has been on your skin for the right amount of time, we will remove it and begin infusing your skin with topical products to enhance your results.

What to Expect After a Chemical Peel

cosmelan® Peel

Following a cosmelan® Peel, mild redness, peeling, and sensitivity may persist for up to two weeks. Initial improvements in skin pigmentation often emerge within the first week, while the most noticeable results develop over four to six weeks. Adherence to the recommended skincare regimen is essential to prolong the benefits and prevent new discoloration.

Dermamelan® Peel

Recovery from a Dermamelan® Peel typically involves moderate peeling and redness lasting between 7 to 14 days. Deeper pigmentation concerns begin to show improvement within the first two weeks, with optimal results appearing over two to three months. Consistent post-treatment care is key to maintaining a luminous, even complexion.

ZO® 3-Step Peel

After undergoing the ZO® 3-Step Peel, expect moderate peeling for approximately 5 to 7 days, accompanied by temporary redness and mild discomfort. Within a week, skin texture will become smoother, fine lines will appear diminished, and overall brightness will improve. Continued use of targeted skincare enhances and sustains these results over time.

The Perfect Derma Peel®

With The Perfect Derma Peel®, peeling, redness, and mild sensitivity can last 5 to 7 days. As the peeling subsides, skin texture refines, pigmentation fades, and fine lines become less visible. Optimal results typically appear within 2 to 4 weeks, revealing a refreshed, youthful glow.

AlumierMD® Peels

AlumierMD® peels generally cause mild redness and peeling for 3 to 7 days, depending on the specific treatment. Over the following weeks, the skin appears softer, more hydrated, and radiant. Routine follow-up treatments and a customized skincare routine are recommended to maintain these improvements.

General Post-Peel Care Guideline

For the best recovery and long-lasting results, gentle cleansing and deep hydration are essential. Protect your skin by avoiding direct sun exposure and applying broad-spectrum SPF daily to safeguard your newly revitalized complexion.
