Chemical Peels Q & A

What type of chemical peels do you offer?

We proudly offer a wide variety of chemical peels. You can choose the one that best fits your needs. After a quick exam and discussion of your concerns and goals for your skin, we can recommend the facial service that is best for you.

What are the types of Chemical Peels?

There are three main types of chemical peels. A superficial, or light, chemical peel is the mildest. It treats fine lines, acne, acne scars, uneven pigmentation, and dry skin. This is usually done with an alpha hydroxy acid like glycolic acid or salicylic acid. Patients may experience a slight stinging or warming sensation during the treatment. Afterwards, the clinician will wash the solution off and apply lotion to moisturize and sooth the skin.

Medium peels are slightly more involved, but not as intense as a deep peel. This peel targets the layers of skin below the surface. This is a great choice for treatment age spots, pigment discoloration and freckles. Patients may experience stinging and burning sensations. For optimal results, usually a series of 4-6 treatments is required, spaced 3-4 weeks apart.

Lastly, we have deep peels. These peels are stronger and remove more layers of skin. Therefore, they produce more dramatic results. However, they also have a longer recovery. Deep peels are best for treating stubborn blemishes like scarring, skin pigmentation, and fine lines and wrinkles. A deep peel can only be done once every 6 months, due to the intensity of the treatment.

If you want to improve skin blemishes or imperfections, a chemical peel or facial might be right for you. To learn more about your options for facial treatments, please contact us today.
