Frequently Asked Questions
What is it?
A chemical peel involves applying a chemical solution to your face to remove damaged skin cells and stimulate a fresher, younger-looking complexion. When the dull, damaged surface layer of your skin is removed, new, healthier cells grow in its place. Different types of chemical peels use various acids, some stronger than others. Our practitioners will help you understand the differences and suggest the peel that works best for your skin type and concerns.
How it works
On average, a chemical peel can take between 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the type of peel and the number of layers applied. During the application, you may feel a warming sensation. Light peels generally require little to no downtime, while medium and deep peels may require a few weeks to recover. It is essential to avoid the sun and active skincare ingredients (retinol, vitamin C, etc.) until your skin is fully healed.
