Treatment Description and Care
Treatment
We use self-neutralizing chemical peels. Chemical peels exfoliate dead skin cells, boosting skin cell turnover and stimulating collagen thereby smoothing out the skin, as well as improving skin tone and texture. Chemical peels can target several skin conditions, treat fine lines and winkles, skin discoloration, enlarged pores and sun damage.
Areas
Chemical peel treatments are generally used on the face, neck, and decolletage although some people do use chemical peels on the hands.
Results
Treatment results can vary from person to person. You will notice improved pores, smoothed out skin texture and tone, restored skin brightness. You will also notice an improvement in fine lines and wrinkles. In general your skin will have more glow and radiance.
Time
Chemical peel treatments take approximately 20 to 30 minutes.
Safety
There are a few temporary side effects with chemical peel treatments including skin flaking, sunburn like feeling, possible tenderness, and redness may occur. Any swelling typically lasts for a few hours to a couple days.
Skin flakiness and peeling usually starts three to five days after your treatment and can continue in some people for one to two weeks. Noting peeling does not occur for all people, this does not mean the peel has not been effective. Peeling of dead skin cells is sometimes macroscopic which means it is occurring on a cellular level not noticeable to the naked eye.
​
Chemical peel treatments are not suitable if you are pregnant, have cystic acne in the treatment area, allergies to topical lidocaine, if you are sunburnt, had Accutane within the past 6 months, have inflamed skin or you have an active infection.
