What Are Chemical Peels?

Chemical peels are exfoliating treatments that dissolve the superficial layers of the skin with a combination of anti-aging and skin-safe acids. Unlike physical exfoliation treatments, chemical exfoliation requires no manual exfoliation methods or physical abrasives. Instead, it uses chemical processes to exfoliate dead and damaged skin cells from the superficial layers.

These peels come in various strengths and types and can improve skin health, tone, and texture to visibly reduce aging. At Phoenix MedSpa, we offer professional chemical peels that are safe for different skin types and design customized treatment plans to meet the needs of our patients with unique aging-related and aesthetic goals.

What Are the Treatment Benefits?

Chemical peels are quick, safe, and simple treatments that can significantly improve the overall health and appearance of your skin. They can address several skin concerns, including wrinkles, scarring, hyperpigmentation, large pores, acne, sun damage, and more. They can also help increase natural collagen and elastin production. Peels can also:

  • Increase the effectiveness of skincare products
  • Reverse sun damage
  • Help control and prevent acne
  • Brighten the skin
  • Destroy acne-causing bacteria
  • Balance skin pH levels
  • Tighten the skin
  • Stimulate collagen and elastin production

Jessner Peel

The Jessner Peel promotes glowing, healthy skin and is a good option for patients who want to target and eliminate hyperpigmentation. This chemical peel solution was originally developed over 100 years ago by a physician named Max Jessner, who created his solution to encourage cellular regeneration while eliminating the top layers of the skin to target the most common skin conditions. The modern version of this peel contains lactic acid, salicylic acid, and citric acid and can treat acne, acne scarring, fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin texture, age spots, melasma, and general hyperpigmentation.

Glycolic Acid and Salicylic Acid Peels

Our glycolic acid peels are lighter chemical peels that can rejuvenate the skin, treat sun damage, improve the appearance of discoloration, soften fine lines and wrinkles, and improve skin texture. Glycolic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid, also known as an AHA, that can effectively exfoliate the skin while improving texture and tone.

Salicylic acid peels are beta hydroxy acids, also known as BHAs, that can improve oily and acne-prone skin. Salicylic acid is known for its ability to cleanse, unclog, and shrink the pores. It’s also an anti-inflammatory acid that can help regulate oil production, treat active acne and blemishes, and prevent future breakouts.

TCA Peel

The TCA peel is a chemical peel containing trichloroacetic acid, which removes the uppermost layer and takes with it any dead or damaged skin cells. This medium-depth peel will dissolve the top layers of the skin and a small percentage of the layer beneath. The TCA peel can reduce the appearance of wrinkles, create a more uniform skin tone, and treat and eliminate blemishes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Once we confirm that you’re a good candidate for a chemical peel, we’ll provide instructions about preparing for your treatment so your skin is ready for the peel process.

You’ll need to temporarily avoid using exfoliating products and avoid scheduling exfoliating treatments at least one week before your appointment to prepare your skin and ensure it responds well to your chosen peel. You’ll also need to drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated, avoid excess sun exposure, and avoid shaving or waxing your skin pre-treatment.

There’s no significant social downtime after a chemical peel. Patients who undergo treatment with a light or medium-depth peel can resume most of their normal daily activities after the treatment. Patients who undergo a deep peel will need to plan around some downtime as their skin heals.

You will need to follow some aftercare instructions after your treatment to ensure the best results, including avoiding sun exposure, exfoliating treatments, harsh products, and anything that could irritate your skin or make it more susceptible to inflammation or delay healing. You’ll also need to use sunscreen daily to prevent discoloration and skin damage.

You can expect some immediate results after your chemical peel, and the best results will be visible within the first seven to ten days. You’ll see continuously improving results as your skin heals and your body increases natural collagen and elastin production in response to the treatment.

Patients can expect visible results from just one chemical peel, but these treatments are meant to be scheduled as monthly or bi-monthly maintenance treatments to keep your skin in the best condition year-round. We can give you details about how to space out your treatment to maintain healthy, glowing skin and prevent the dead skin cell barrier from building up and causing a dull complexion.

The right chemical peel should always make your skin better, not worse. When we customize your chemical peel treatment plan, we’ll take your skin type and your concerns into account to ensure that your peel rejuvenates your skin, eliminates imperfections, and promotes a healthy glow. We can give you more details about our peels and other professional skin care treatments at your initial consultation.
