Chemical Peel

Available in Centennial & Aurora, CO

Do you struggle with complexion issues despite taking good care of your skin? Perhaps you even invest in expensive skincare products but still can’t get the desired results. Chemical peels work wonders for many people’s lax, blemished, and unevenly toned skin. 

Chemical peels are specially formulated solutions applied directly on top of the skin. They remove the outermost skin layers to improve discoloration, wrinkles, redness, and scarring. Always Beautiful is a trusted provider of quality, professional face peels that can smooth and beautify the complexion. Our skincare experts are happy to tailor a treatment plan specifically for your needs to help you meet your aesthetic goals and feel confident in your skin.

Skin Conditions a Chemical Peel Treats

Chemical peels work by creating controlled damage in the outer layers of skin. The body responds to the damage by causing the old skin layer to peel away. This reveals the smoother, brighter, and more youthful skin layers just beneath the surface. With a chemical peel, you can improve:

• Acne or acne scars
• Age and sunspots
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Freckles
• Irregular skin pigmentation
• Rough skin and scaly patches
• Scars
• Sun-damaged skin
• Clogged pores
• Eczema 
• Dry skin

It is one of the least invasive ways to improve the appearance of your skin with dramatic results. Although chemical peels are used mainly on the face, they can also improve the skin on your neck, chest, back, and hands.

What Does a Chemical Peel Do?

Cell turnover slows down as we age and see changes in our aging skin. As dead skin cells build up, the result is noticeable in the skin’s texture and health. Chemical peels increase the skin’s cell turnover rate (also known as the cell renewal factor), preventing dead skin cells from getting built up. 

The skin’s texture improves by removing the excess accumulation of dead skin cells and encouraging new cells to grow and be seen at the surface. This treatment also increases hydration, barrier function, moisture retention, elastin, and collagen production. Regular chemical peels reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation. After treatment, the skin looks and feels smoother and softer.

Chemical Peel Benefits

A chemical peel is a complexion-restoring treatment that addresses many skin issues. Here are some of the top benefits this treatment delivers:

• Improves skin texture and tone
• Customizable treatment depths and intensities
• Treats fine lines and wrinkles
• Improves skin hydration
• Removes damaged outer skin cells 
• Reduces the appearance of acne scars and uneven skin tone

Whether you’re constantly struggling with acne or have noticeable hyperpigmentation, a chemical peel may give you the skin-clarifying desired results.

What to Expect During a Chemical Peel Session

Most chemical peel sessions take anywhere between 30 minutes to an hour. You may receive a sedative depending on the depth and intensity of the chemical peel you choose. During your session, your provider will apply a special chemical solution containing trichloroacetic acid and other ingredients to your face. After the solution sits for a few minutes, your provider removes it and applies cool compresses to relieve discomfort. 

The process for a deep chemical peel is a bit different. You’ll receive intravenous fluids, and your provider will break your treatment up into shorter sessions. Deep chemical peels are more intense but provide more dramatic and rapid results. 

Who Can Benefit From a Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel can benefit people with uneven skin tone, sun-damaged skin, fine lines, and scarring. Additionally, this treatment may benefit individuals who experience chronic acne problems. Chemical peels offer various benefits over other treatments. They provide deeper exfoliation than traditional topical exfoliation products. They also require minimal downtime and have fewer associated risks than surgical procedures. Finally, chemical peels can address very specific concerns like aging, blemishes, and scarring.

What Happens After a Chemical Peel?

Chemical peels will cause sloughing skin for several days, which is expected during healing. You should avoid the sun and any additional exfoliation other than what your medical esthetician recommends. It’s essential to use quality home care products you’ve purchased from your medical esthetician and wear sunscreen daily that includes zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. Peels dry the skin until the top layers slough off, so keeping the skin hydrated is important.

Many people need a series of chemical peels to get the results they want. Talk to your provider to learn how many treatments you’ll need based on your complexion concerns and goals.

Who Can Perform A Chemical Peel, and How Strong Can It Be?

A licensed esthetician can perform light peels, which are non-invasive and meant to remove the dead layer alone. Medical estheticians can use solutions to penetrate deeper, reaching both the dead and living layers to produce more effective anti-aging treatments. A physician must direct these deeper peels, which a licensed medical esthetician can administer. 

The doctor can prescribe chemical solutions customized to the patient’s specific skin care needs, condition, and skin type. At Always Beautiful Medspa, we offer light and deep peels under medical direction based on your specific skin care needs and desires.

How Can I Maintain My Chemical Peel Results?

We recommend scheduling a series of peels tailored to your needs for the best chemical peel outcome. You should follow a hydrating skincare routine and apply sunscreen every day to protect your results. Eating a nourishing, balanced diet will also help your complexion look clearer, smoother, and more youthful.
