Chemical peels are a proven and effective way to reduce the visible signs of aging, acne, hyperpigmentation, rosacea, and dehydration. At Accent Aesthetics, we offer a range of chemical peels tailored to meet your unique skin care needs, helping you achieve smoother, more youthful-looking skin. By exfoliating the top layers of the skin, chemical peels stimulate cell turnover and reveal fresher, healthier skin beneath. Whether you’re looking to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, even out your skin tone, or improve overall texture, our expert aestheticians will guide you in selecting the right peel for your skin type and concerns.
Chemical Peels?
Chemical peels involve applying a specially formulated chemical solution to the skin, which works to exfoliate the outermost layers. This process promotes the shedding of dead skin cells and accelerates cell renewal, resulting in a more vibrant and youthful complexion. Depending on the strength and type of peel, the solution can target superficial, medium, or deep layers of the skin, allowing for customizable treatment options that address a wide range of concerns.
OF CHEMICAL PEELS
Reduces Appearance of Fine Lines & Wrinkles
Chemical peels are highly effective at reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating collagen production and encouraging the regeneration of new skin cells. This results in a smoother skin surface and a reduction in the visible signs of aging. With regular treatments, you can achieve a significant improvement in the depth and severity of wrinkles, leading to a more youthful, refreshed appearance.
Diminishes Age Spots and Pigmentation
Uneven skin tone, age spots, and pigmentation issues can all be addressed with chemical peels. The exfoliating action of the peel helps to lighten dark spots and even out pigmentation, giving your skin a more uniform appearance. Over time, this can result in a more radiant and even complexion, free from the discolorations that can make skin look aged or uneven.
Improves Skin Texture
One of the immediate benefits of a chemical peel is the improvement in skin texture. By exfoliating the outer layer of dead skin cells, chemical peels help to smooth rough patches and refine the overall texture of the skin. This results in a softer, more supple feel and a noticeable improvement in the skin’s overall appearance.
Increases Skin Hydration
Chemical peels also promote increased skin hydration by encouraging the skin to retain moisture more effectively. This is particularly beneficial for those with dry or dehydrated skin, as it helps to restore the skin’s natural moisture balance and improve its overall health and vitality. With hydrated skin, you’ll notice a plumper, more youthful look that enhances your natural glow.
Promotes a Radiant, Youthful Appearance
The exfoliation and renewal processes triggered by chemical peels leave your skin looking fresh, radiant, and youthful. By removing dull, dead skin cells and revealing the healthier skin beneath, chemical peels can dramatically enhance your complexion’s vibrancy and overall appearance. With each treatment, your skin will continue to look brighter, clearer, and more rejuvenated.
During a chemical peel, you may experience some degree of discomfort, such as stinging, a pin-prickling sensation, heat, or tightness. These sensations are normal and indicate that the peel is working to exfoliate and renew your skin. Depending on the type of peel you receive, your skin may peel for 5-7 days following the treatment. You may also experience increased redness, which usually dissipates within 7-10 days.
To ensure the best possible results and minimize side effects, it’s important to follow your aesthetician’s aftercare instructions closely. This includes avoiding direct sun exposure and refraining from exercise for at least 24 hours post-treatment. Proper aftercare helps to protect your newly treated skin and supports the healing process, allowing you to enjoy the full benefits of your chemical peel.
Pre-Treatment
prepare for your chemical peel, it is important to discontinue the use of certain topical medications, such as Tretinoin, Retin-A, Differin (adapalene), Tazorac (tazarotene), Avage, Epiduo, HQRA, or Ziana. These should be stopped 7-10 days prior to your peel to prevent any adverse reactions. If you have any concerns or are unsure about which products to stop using, please call our office for guidance.
If you have a darker skin tone, it’s especially important to discuss your peel options with your aesthetician or physician before scheduling your appointment. Certain peels may require special preparation to avoid over-lightening or darkening the skin. Our team will work closely with you to select the right peel and ensure that your treatment plan is tailored to your unique needs.
Additionally, please inform your aesthetician if you have any allergies, a tendency to develop cold sores or fever blisters, or if you have had recent facial surgery or treatments. This information is crucial to ensure that the peel is safe and effective for you.
POST-Treatment
For maximum safety and effectiveness, it’s essential to avoid tanning in tanning beds or outdoors for at least 14 days before and after your peel. Tanning increases the risk of skin cancer and accelerates the signs of aging, which counteracts the benefits you are seeking to achieve with your chemical peel. Protecting your skin from UV exposure is a key component of maintaining your results and keeping your skin healthy.
