Chemical peels are a type of facial that uses a chemical solution to slough off older skin cell layers from your skin. The result is new skin cell growth and a younger-looking appearance. Chemical peels aren’t painful, but they can produce dramatic anti-aging results with little to no downtime. Chemical peels vary in strength as they are light, medium, or deep.

Improved Skin Texture: Chemical peels help exfoliate the outer layer of your skin, removing dead skin cells and revealing smoother, fresher skin underneath. This can make your skin feel softer and look more even in texture.

Reduced Acne and Breakouts: Chemical peels can be effective in treating acne and preventing future breakouts. The peels can help unclog pores, reduce oiliness, and minimize the appearance of acne scars.

Diminished Hyperpigmentation and Sun Damage: If you have dark spots, sunspots, or areas of uneven skin tone, a chemical peel can help lighten and even out those areas. It can reduce the appearance of sun damage and improve the overall radiance of your skin.

Minimized Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Chemical peels stimulate collagen production, which can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Over time, this can lead to smoother, more youthful-looking skin.

Enhanced Skin Radiance: By removing the dull, dead skin cells and promoting cell turnover, chemical peels can give your skin a brighter and more radiant appearance. It can help restore a youthful glow to your complexion.

Boosted Confidence: When your skin looks clearer, smoother, and more even, it can boost your self-confidence and make you feel better about your appearance.

Determining if chemical peels are right for you depends on several factors, including your specific skin concerns, skin type, and overall health. It's best to schedule your FREE consult with our qualified professional who can assess your skin and provide personalized recommendations. However, chemical peels may not be suitable for everyone. Individuals with certain skin conditions, such as eczema or rosacea, may need to avoid or proceed with caution when considering chemical peels. Additionally, those with extremely sensitive skin or a history of adverse reactions to skincare products should consult with a professional to determine the best course of action.

During the treatment, a special solution is applied to your face or other parts of your body. It might tingle or feel a little funny, but that's normal. Afterward, your skin might be red, flaky, or swollen for a little while, so you'll need to be careful and protect it from the sun.

Make sure to follow your post-care instruction after receiving a chemical peel. Keep your skin clean, and apply ointment to it as needed. Always protect your skin from the sun. After a peel, you can expect redness, swelling, tenderness, or scabbing in some cases. Take over-the-counter pain relievers if necessary, and avoid wearing makeup until Barbara says it’s okay.

Over time as your skin heals and cells regenerate, you can expect smoother, revitalized, younger-looking skin. Periodic repeat treatments offer the long-term results you deserve.
