Chemical Peels

Trying to refresh the skin and improve sunspots and fine lines and wrinkles?

Chemical peels are a great option to improve pigment changes and tighten the skin overall. Chemical peel is an in-office procedure whereby acids and chemicals are placed on the skin to achieve a brightening and tightening of the skin. Depending on the chemical peel chosen, it may require several treatments spaced one month apart with minimal down time or may require just one treatment with more of a recovery.

What can I expect before and after a chemical peel?

Before:

  • Initial consult will be conducted and treatment options and anticipated recovery discussed. No treatment will be administered on initial consult
  • You will need to stop Retinols, tretinoin products 2 weeks before procedure
  • Ideally, chemical peels should be performed during fall/winter when sun exposure is minimal

After:

  • Depending on the depth of the peel selected, you may experience minimal to significant peeling of the skin afterwards for up to 1 week
  • Once the skin is fully healed (for some peels up to 2 weeks), make-up may be worn.
  • You can expect redness of the skin and dry skin for several days after the procedure
  • Keep skin moisturized with non-fragranced, water-based moisturizer or Aquaphor
