Question 1

What is a chemical peel?

Accepted Answer

A chemical peel is a skin resurfacing treatment that uses a chemical solution to exfoliate the outer layers of the skin. This process removes dead skin cells, stimulates cell turnover, and reveals smoother, more radiant skin underneath. Chemical peels can address various skin concerns including fine lines, uneven tone, acne, and sun damage.

Question 2

What types of chemical peels do you offer?

Accepted Answer

We offer three main types of chemical peels:  • TCA 25% Peel – A deep penetrating peel for significant skin rejuvenation and resurfacing • Glycolic 20-40% Peel – A medium-depth peel for improving skin clarity and reducing signs of aging • BioRePeel – An advanced bio-stimulating peel with TCA and amino acids that offers rejuvenation with minimal recovery

Question 3

How do I know which chemical peel is right for me?

Accepted Answer

The best peel for you depends on your skin type, concerns, and desired downtime. TCA peels are ideal for deeper concerns like wrinkles and acne scars. Glycolic peels work well for general rejuvenation and brightening. BioRePeel is perfect for those wanting results with minimal recovery time. During your consultation, we'll assess your skin and recommend the most suitable option.

Question 4

Are chemical peels safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes, when performed by a trained professional, chemical peels are safe and effective. We use medical-grade products and customize the treatment to your skin type and concerns. We'll review your medical history and skin condition before recommending a peel to ensure it's appropriate for you.

Question 5

Who is a good candidate for a chemical peel?

Accepted Answer

Good candidates for chemical peels include those looking to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, address acne or acne scars, even out skin tone, or brighten a dull complexion. You should avoid chemical peels if you have active skin infections, open wounds, or certain skin conditions. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult with their provider first.

Question 6

Can chemical peels be done on all skin types?

Accepted Answer

Most chemical peels can be safely performed on various skin types, though the type and strength of peel may vary. Some peels, like BioRePeel, are specifically formulated to be safe for all skin tones including darker complexions. During your consultation, we'll recommend the best option for your specific skin type.

Question 7

What happens during a chemical peel treatment?

Accepted Answer

Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed, and the appropriate chemical solution will be applied to your skin. You may feel a mild tingling or warming sensation. The solution is left on for a specific amount of time depending on the peel type, then neutralized or removed. The entire treatment typically takes 30–90 minutes depending on the peel.

Question 8

Does a chemical peel hurt?

Accepted Answer

Most clients experience mild tingling, warmth, or a slight stinging sensation during the treatment. Deeper peels may cause more intense sensations, but discomfort is generally manageable and temporary. We take steps to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.

Question 9

How many treatments will I need?

Accepted Answer

The number of treatments depends on your skin concerns and the type of peel. Light peels may be done in a series of 4–6 treatments spaced 2–4 weeks apart. Medium-depth peels typically require 2–3 sessions. Some clients achieve their goals with a single treatment, while others benefit from maintenance sessions every few months.

Question 10

What is the recovery time after a chemical peel?

Accepted Answer

Recovery varies by peel type:  • BioRePeel – Minimal to no downtime; you can return to normal activities immediately • Glycolic Peel – 3–7 days of mild peeling and redness • TCA Peel – 3–5 days of more noticeable peeling and redness  We'll provide detailed aftercare instructions specific to your treatment.

Question 11

What aftercare is required after a chemical peel?

Accepted Answer

Post-treatment care typically includes:  • Avoiding direct sun exposure and wearing SPF 30+ daily • Using gentle, hydrating cleansers and moisturizers • Avoiding retinoids, exfoliants, and active ingredients for 5–7 days • Not picking at peeling skin • Avoiding saunas, steam rooms, and intense exercise for 48–72 hours

Question 12

Can I wear makeup after a chemical peel?

Accepted Answer

For lighter peels like BioRePeel, you may apply mineral-based makeup the next day. For deeper peels, we recommend waiting until active peeling has subsided, typically 3–5 days. Using gentle, non-comedogenic products helps support the healing process.

Question 13

When will I see results from a chemical peel?

Accepted Answer

You may notice an immediate glow after lighter peels. For deeper peels, once peeling is complete (typically 5–7 days), you'll see smoother, more radiant skin. Full results, including improvements in tone, texture, and fine lines, develop over the following weeks as collagen production increases.

Question 14

How long do chemical peel results last?

Accepted Answer

Results can last several months to over a year depending on the peel depth and your skincare routine. Maintaining results requires sun protection, a good skincare regimen, and periodic maintenance treatments as recommended by your provider.

Question 15

Can I combine a chemical peel with other treatments?

Accepted Answer

Yes, chemical peels can be combined with other treatments for enhanced results. Popular combinations include pairing peels with microneedling, LED therapy, or facials. We'll create a customized treatment plan based on your goals during your consultation.
