Chemical Peels & Exfoliation

Benefits of Chemical Peels

A peel is a form of exfoliation by chemical means (as opposed to a physical scrub). At the highest level, this chemical reaction dissolves the 'glue' that holds our dead skin cells together, stimulating cell turnover to reveal smoother, more radiant skin underneath.

Chemical peels treat fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, pore size, acne, pigmentation, and more. These aesthetic treatments are some of the most sought-after, and millions of people are already enjoying the life-changing benefits.

Light chemical peel improves skin texture and tone and lessens the appearance of fine wrinkles. The results are subtle but increase with repeated treatments. If you have a medium chemical peel, treated skin will be noticeably smoother.

Benefits of Exfoliation Dermal Infusion

Dermal Infusion is a nonsurgical skin care treatment. It exfoliates dead skin, deep cleans pores and infuses your skin with a hydrating serum. It's a type of skin resurfacing procedure that can make your skin look and feel younger, smoother and softer.

Dermal Infusion utilizes microdermabrasion which is a way of gently removing the stratum corneum, the dead outer protective layer of the skin.

Dermal Infusion gives your skin additional volume, giving it a more youthful appearance. It also addresses dry skin, wrinkles, and acne. Dermal Infusion is typically applied to the patient's face, neck, and upper chest. The procedure can be used for various skin types and is generally safe.

Diamond Micro-Dermabrasion

Dermal Infusion Diamond Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive skincare treatment that combines diamond-tipped exfoliation, gentle vacuum extraction, and targeted serum infusion. The procedure works to improve skin texture, reduce pore size, and enhance hydration. By removing dead skin cells and extracting impurities, it promotes a brighter complexion and smoother skin. The customizable serums, tailored to individual concerns, are infused to address specific skincare goals, such as fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and acne. With minimal downtime, this non-surgical approach offers a versatile solution to achieve healthier and more radiant skin.

Benefits of Dermaplaning facial

A dermaplaning facial is a non-invasive exfoliation procedure that uses a surgical scalpel to gently remove dead skin cells and vellus hair, revealing smoother and brighter skin. The process enhances skin texture, improves product absorption, and provides a temporary solution for peach fuzz removal. With no downtime, this quick procedure offers immediate results, making it suitable for individuals seeking a refreshed complexion. However, individual experiences may vary, and consultation with a skincare professional is recommended to determine suitability based on specific skin needs.

FAQ

Find quick answers for most common questions about Chemical Peels & Exfoliation

How are chemical peels performed?

The chemical peel procedure encompasses various steps dependent on the type of peel—whether light, medium, or deep. Typically administered in a medical setting by a skilled cosmetic practitioner, the practitioner cleanses the patient's skin and applies a potent prescription numbing cream to the treatment area. The next phase involves the application of a specialized chemical peel solution tailored to the patient's unique needs and goals, often causing a tingling or stinging sensation. Once the peel solution has been on the skin for the designated duration, it is washed off, and a soothing ointment, frequently petroleum jelly post-TCA peels, is applied. The practitioner provides aftercare instructions, which may involve the use of mild pain relievers, emphasizing the importance of avoiding sun exposure during the healing period.

Will the chemical peel hurt?


Patients undergoing chemical peel treatments experience effective numbing of the treated area, ensuring a comfortable procedure. The use of a mild sedative promotes relaxation throughout the session. Typically, patients report only a mild stinging sensation during light or medium chemical peels, enhancing the overall comfort level. Post-procedure, practitioners may recommend a mild pain reliever to alleviate any potential discomfort, ensuring a smoother recovery experience for individuals seeking skin rejuvenation through chemical peel treatments.

How long will the recovery be after a chemical peel?

The duration of recovery following a chemical peel varies based on the peel's strength, as each strength impacts the skin differently. A Medium Depth TCA peel, for instance, requires approximately one week for recovery. The emergence of the new skin layer occurs within three to seven days post-treatment. After the initial 7-day period, makeup use, work, and normal activities can be resumed. Full healing of the skin is generally achieved around two weeks post-treatment. It's worth noting that the recovery period tends to align with the peel's strength, with stronger and deeper peels offering more substantial results albeit requiring a longer recovery duration.
