Revitalize your skin with chemical peels at SpaSurgica. This non-surgical treatment effectively reduces fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, and uneven skin tone. By exfoliating the outer layers, you’ll reveal smoother, brighter skin and improve your complexion for a refreshed, youthful appearance with minimal downtime.
Overview
Chemical peels use acidic solutions to exfoliate damaged outer skin layers. Typically, alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs), or trichloroacetic acid (TCA) are applied, depending on the skin’s needs. These acids dissolve dead skin cells and stimulate cell turnover, promoting collagen production and revealing healthier, smoother skin. As the treated layer peels away, it diminishes fine lines, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and sun damage. The strength of the peel determines the depth of skin penetration and the results.
Indications for Chemical Peels:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Rough skin texture
- Acne scars and blemishes
- Sun damage and photoaging
- Hyperpigmentation, age spots, and melasma
- Enlarged pores
- Skin dullness
- Mild to moderate acne
- Lack of skin radiance and clarity
Procedure Details
During a chemical peel at SpaSurgica, your skin will first be cleansed to remove oils and impurities. A chemical solution is applied to the targeted areas, which may cause a mild tingling or stinging sensation.
Depending on the strength of the peel, the solution will remain on your skin for a few minutes before being neutralized or removed. After the treatment, you may notice some redness and mild peeling as your skin begins to heal and rejuvenate.
Chemical Peels FAQs
How Long Does a Chemical Peel Take?
A chemical peel typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the type of peel and the areas being treated. This makes it an ideal lunchtime procedure with minimal downtime.
How Many Treatments Do I Need to See Results?
You may notice improvements after just one treatment. However, a series of 3 to 6 treatments several weeks apart is often recommended for optimal, long-lasting results. The exact number of treatments depends on your skin type and concerns and the peel you choose.
Are Chemical Peels Painful?
Most chemical peels cause mild discomfort rather than pain. You may experience tingling, tightness, or stinging as the solution works on your skin. The intensity of these sensations depends on the strength of the peel. Stronger peels may feel more intense.
