Chemical Peels: The Key to Radiant Skin

Chemical peels are a powerful tool in rejuvenating and resurfacing the face, and are popular for those looking to refresh their appearance and achieve a new level of youthful radiance. Our specialists deliver radiant and clear skin with precision and expertise using our top three performing medical-grade peels. We offer several options for different skin types and concerns: The VI Peel, Refresh Peel, and Refresh Peel Plus. Medical-grade peels go beyond removing dead skin and work to refresh the skin by remodeling live skin. Our peels contain TCA, or trichloroacetic acid, Retin A, and Vitamin C at different percentages. TCA is non-toxic and has been used to perform chemical peels for years. It works by prompting the top layers of skin cells to peel off, exposing a new layer of undamaged cells, which give the skin a smoother texture and more even color.

Coming in For Your Chemical Peel

Chemical peels cause redness and flaking. We recommend planning them around a time in your schedule when you can avoid significant events or work engagements. Sun exposure is not advised. The VI peel is the lightest TCA peel, and the Refresh Peel is stronger. A consult is required before scheduling your first peel. Glycolic peels are available if you are looking for lighter peels. Also, check out our other treatments for dark spots and hyperpigmentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Have a Chemical Peel?

All skin tones can be treated; however, pre-treatment with Even & Correct Advanced Brightening Cream may be required. If recommended, use Even & Correct Advanced Brightening Cream twice daily (morning + night) for two weeks before and two weeks after the peel.
Some may experience discomfort during the peel depending on which strength of peel you are having done. Most patients will feel some stinging. Advil or Tylenol can be taken before the peel. For those with a low tolerance for discomfort, the VI Peel is the least aggressive of our medical-grade peels.
The length of time can vary from a few minutes to 5 hours. The provider will direct you at the time of your visit.
We recommend you return home after the treatment as your face should not be exposed to the sun; however, with general sun precautions, you can resume your normal activities.
Typically, the face will have a red appearance after the application. You can be functional during the week of the peel; however, you should avoid major social or business engagements for the week. You will experience sunburn-type flaking and peeling. Intense sun exposure should be avoided during that week. The use of SPF and moisturizer is strongly recommended. Please check out post-care chemical peel guidelines.
Chemical Peels can be implemented into your monthly beauty maintenance routine—the doctor can discuss a plan that best suits your skin type.
When compared to laser peels, chemcal peels don’t penetrate the skin as deeply. Mutiple treatments are typically required, compared to lasers that only require one yearly treatment.
