Chemical peels are also commonly known as chemexfoliation or derma peeling, and involve the application of a chemical solution to your facial skin. Chemical face peels are meant to simulate irritation to the top layers of your skin, which are then peeled away to reveal youthful looking skin that is smoother, has fewer lines and wrinkles, has more color and brightens your complexion.

Who Should Get a Chemical Peel?

Chemical peels are best for people who want to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles. People with scars from trauma and acne are also great candidates for chemical peels. Chemical peels are great for people who have skin that has a uniformity challenge.

What are Chemical Peel Treatments Like?

It’s basically like hitting the restart button on your skin! Imagine a gentle chemical solution being applied, working its magic to dissolve dull, damaged layers. This triggers your skin to repair itself, revealing fresh, radiant cells underneath.

Remember, everyone’s skin is different, so it’s best to chat with a specialist about the perfect peel for you. At Solana’s Aesthetics we can customize the treatment to your needs and answer any questions you have. Ready to give your skin some TLC? Chemical peels might just be the magic touch you’re looking for!

Chemical peels are categorized into three types based on their depth of action:

  • Superficial Peels: Lightly exfoliate the outer layer of skin (epidermis) and are used to treat fine wrinkles, acne, and uneven skin tone.
  • Medium Peels: Penetrate the outer and middle layers of skin (epidermis and upper dermis) to treat wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven skin tone.
  • Deep Peels: Reach the deeper layers of the dermis and are used for more severe wrinkles, scars, and precancerous growths.

Chemical peels can treat a variety of skin conditions, including:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Acne and acne scars
  • Hyperpigmentation and melasma
  • Sun damage
  • Uneven skin texture
  • Age spots and freckles

During the procedure, your skin will be thoroughly cleansed. The chemical solution will be applied to the treatment area, causing a controlled injury. You may feel a warm or stinging sensation. For deep peels, you may receive local anesthesia to minimize discomfort.

Common side effects include redness, swelling, and peeling of the skin. There is also a risk of temporary or permanent changes in skin color, scarring, and reactivation of cold sores. It’s important to follow post-treatment care instructions to minimize risks.

Preparation may include avoiding certain medications, using prescribed topical treatments, and following specific skincare routines as advised by your dermatologist. It’s also important to inform your doctor of any history of scarring, cold sores, or facial X-rays.

After a chemical peel, it’s crucial to protect your skin from the sun by using broad-spectrum sunscreen and avoiding direct sun exposure. Follow your dermatologist’s post-care instructions, which may include using specific ointments and avoiding certain skincare products.
