What is a Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel is a skin resurfacing procedure that uses a chemical solution to exfoliate and remove the outer layers of the skin. This treatment promotes the regeneration of new, healthier skin cells, resulting in a smoother, more radiant complexion. Chemical peels can address various skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, uneven skin tone, and sun damage.

What are the Different Types of Chemical Peels?

Chemical peels are categorized into three main types based on their depth of penetration and strength:

Light

Light peels use mild acids such as lactic, glycolic, citric, and salicylic acids to gently exfoliate the skin. These peels can be incorporated into facial treatments and require no downtime.

Medium

Medium peels typically use trichloroacetic acid (TCA) to penetrate deeper into the skin. The recovery time for medium peels is longer, with symptoms lasting about 1-2 weeks.

Deep

Deep peels involve more potent acids, such as phenol, and higher trichloroacetic acid (TCA) concentrations to achieve more dramatic results. Recovery from a deep peel consists of peeling, flaking, redness, and dryness lasting 1-3 weeks.

What to expect

  • Is There Any Downtime After a Chemical Peel?

    The downtime after a chemical peel varies depending on the type. With a light peel, you may experience slight pinkness or redness for the first 24 hours, and your skin may feel dry, but there is typically no significant downtime.

    For a medium peel, you can expect peeling, flaking, redness, and dryness to last about 1-2 weeks. Deep peels involve the most extensive downtime, with peeling, flaking, redness, and dryness lasting 1-3 weeks.

  • What are the Side Effects of a Chemical Peel?

    While chemical peels are generally safe, there are some potential side effects, including:

    • Hyperpigmentation (rare)
    • Pore purging or breakouts due to deep cleaning of the pores
    • Temporary redness and irritation
    • Dryness and flakiness as the skin heals
  • How Often Should I Have a Chemical Peel?

    The frequency of chemical peels depends on the type and your skin’s needs. Light peels can be performed every 15 to 30 days, providing regular maintenance for your skin.

    Medium peels are typically recommended every 30 days to address more substantial skin concerns. Deep peels have varying frequencies, so it’s best to seek personalized advice tailored to your skin requirements.

  • How Should I Care for My Skin Following a Chemical Peel?

    It’s essential to avoid sun exposure for 7 to 14 days following the peel and apply sunscreen daily to shield your skin from UV damage. Post-operative treatment skin care is essential for healing and safe outcomes. Our practitioners will curate a post-operative treatment designed to meet your specific needs.

Chemical Peel FAQs

Frequently asked Questions

Can you wear makeup after a chemical peel?

After undergoing a chemical peel, it's generally advised to avoid wearing makeup for a short period to allow your skin to heal properly. Typically, this waiting period depends on the strength of the peel. For light or superficial chemical peels, you might be able to resume wearing makeup within 24 to 48 hours. However, for medium or deep peels, it is often recommended to wait a longer duration, potentially up to 5 to 7 days, to ensure optimal healing and to prevent irritation to the newly exposed skin.

How long does it take for your face to stop peeling after a chemical peel?

After undergoing a chemical peel, it is common to experience peeling as part of the skin's natural rejuvenation process. How long your peeling lasts can vary depending on the type and depth of the chemical peel. Generally, for superficial peels, peeling may last for 3 to 5 days, while medium peels can last for up to 7 days.

How many sessions do you need for a chemical peel?

The number of sessions required varies depending on the type and depth of the chemical peel, as well as the skin concerns being addressed. Generally, superficial peels may need 3 to 6 sessions spaced a few weeks apart to achieve optimal results. These lighter peels target the outermost layer of the skin and have minimal downtime. Medium-depth peels might require fewer sessions, about 1 to 3, as they penetrate deeper into the skin and promote more significant rejuvenation. Deep peels are usually a one-time treatment.

What does a chemical peel cost?

The cost of a chemical peel can vary significantly depending on several factors, including the type of peel and the number of treatment sessions. On average, light chemical peels can range from $150 to $300 per session, medium peels may cost between $600 and $1,000, and deep peels can range from $1,000 to $3,000.

Will chemical peels remove freckles or sun spots?

Chemical peels can be an effective treatment for reducing the appearance of freckles and sun spots. As the skin heals after treatment, freckles and sun spots become lighter or may even fade away altogether. It can depend on the depth of the peel used. More than one session may be needed for optimal results.

Are chemical peels safe?

Absolutely! Chemical peels are generally considered safe and effective for improving the appearance of the skin, reducing fine lines, and addressing issues like acne scars, sun damage, and hyperpigmentation. It's important to follow aftercare instructions and take precautions, such as avoiding sun exposure, to minimize potential side effects and enhance your results.

Are chemical peels good for acne scars?

Chemical peels are a popular non-surgical option for improving the appearance of acne scars. By applying a specialized solution to the skin, chemical peels help remove the damaged outer layers, promoting skin regeneration. This process can effectively reduce the appearance of shallow scars and improve overall skin texture and tone.

What are the benefits of a chemical peel?

Chemical peels offer a range of benefits for the skin, making them a popular choice for those seeking non-surgical facial treatments. One primary benefit is the improvement in skin texture and tone. Chemical peels can effectively reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, particularly under the eyes and around the mouth. They also help minimize sun damage, such as age spots and freckles, and are effective in improving mild to moderate acne scars. They can also address various forms of hyperpigmentation, resulting in an even skin tone with minimal downtime and long-lasting results.

How long does a chemical peel take?

A chemical peel typically takes between 30 to 90 minutes to complete, depending on the type and depth of the peel being applied, the specific chemicals used, the concentration of the solution, and the area being treated. Light peels are generally quicker and may take around 30 minutes, while medium and deep peels can require more time, extending the session to around 60 to 90 minutes.

How long do chemical peel results last?

Your chemical peel results and how long they last can vary based on the type of peel used and your individual skin characteristics, but generally, the effects of a chemical peel can last anywhere from a few weeks to a year or more. Light chemical peels typically offer results that last from a couple of weeks to a month, and you may need repeated sessions to maintain those results. Medium chemical peels can produce more noticeable changes that may last around two to six months. For those looking for longer-lasting results, deep chemical peels can deliver significant improvements, with effects lasting for several years.
