Chemical peels are a highly effective way to rejuvenate your skin by addressing common concerns such as uneven texture, discoloration, and fine lines. This skin resurfacing procedure involves applying a specialized solution to remove damaged outer layers, promoting natural regeneration and revealing smoother, healthier skin underneath.
At Inner Glow AestheticsMD, we offer chemical peels tailored for the face, back, neck, chest, and hands to help you achieve a refreshed and radiant appearance.
Our chemical peels are designed to improve multiple skin concerns, including:
Key Benefits Include:
During the procedure, a chemical solution is carefully applied to your skin after a thorough cleansing. This solution removes the outermost layer of skin to stimulate regeneration. Depending on the depth of the peel, you may experience dramatic results with varying levels of downtime.
For optimal results, our practitioners recommend combining chemical peels with a personalized at-home skincare regimen to maximize the treatment’s effectiveness.
The skin is cleansed to remove impurities before applying the peel solution. After a few minutes, the solution is neutralized to stop its effects. You’ll leave the office with detailed aftercare instructions.
Chemical peels may not be suitable for those who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have active skin infections, open wounds, or inflammatory skin conditions. Patients using photosensitizing medications may also be advised against this treatment.
For deeper peels, pre-treatment preparation may include using hydroquinone or retinoids for 4-6 weeks. Avoid direct sunlight and use sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) to prevent complications.
The procedure typically takes 20-35 minutes in-office, with additional at-home care as directed by your practitioner. Results often unfold over a 28-day process.
Depending on the peel, downtime may include 1-2 days of redness and swelling, followed by light flaking for up to two weeks as your skin renews. Many patients find this manageable and worth the results.
