Chemical peels work by applying a chemical solution to the skin’s surface that removes the outermost layers of damaged skin. The solution contains one or more types of acid, such as alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA), beta-hydroxy acid (BHA), or trichloroacetic acid (TCA). These acids penetrate the skin and break down the bonds that hold dead skin cells together, allowing them to be sloughed off. The process stimulates cell renewal and collagen production, leading to smoother, firmer, and more youthful skin.
What to Expect During Your Chemical Peel Appointment
Your appointment begins with a comprehensive consultation to discuss your concerns, goals, and treatment options.
Before treatment, the skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove makeup, oil, and impurities. Once the skin is cleansed, the selected chemical solution is carefully applied to the treatment area. Depending on the peel being performed, patients may experience mild tingling, warmth, or temporary sensitivity while the solution works. Most treatments are quick, comfortable, and well tolerated.
After treatment, detailed aftercare instructions will be provided to help support healing and optimize your results.
