About
Chemical peels are an effective method for rejuvenating and resurfacing the face, making them popular among those seeking to enhance their appearance and achieve a youthful glow. Our specialists use precision and expertise to deliver radiant, clear skin through our three top-performing medical-grade peels: the VI Peel, Refresh Peel, and Refresh Peel Plus. We offer various options tailored to different skin types and concerns.
Medical-grade peels do more than just remove dead skin; they also revitalize by remodeling the living skin. Our peels include TCA (trichloroacetic acid), Retin A, and Vitamin C in varying concentrations. TCA, a non-toxic substance used for years in chemical peels, encourages the top layers of skin cells to shed, revealing a new layer of undamaged cells. This process results in smoother texture and more even skin tone.
FAQS
Can I Have a Chemical Peel?
All skin tones can be treated; however, pre-treatment with Even & Correct Advanced Brightening Cream may be required. If recommended, use Even & Correct Advanced Brightening Cream twice daily (morning + night) for two weeks before and two weeks after the peel.
​
Do Chemical Peels Hurt?
Some may experience discomfort during the peel depending on which strength of peel you are having done. Most patients will feel some stinging. Advil or Tylenol can be taken before the peel. For those with a low tolerance for discomfort, the VI Peel is the least aggressive of our medical-grade peels.
​
How Long Is the Peel On?
The length of time can vary from a few minutes to 5 hours. The provider will direct you at the time of your visit.
Do I Need to Stay Home After Having the Peel Done?
We recommend you return home after the treatment as your face should not be exposed to the sun; however, with general sun precautions, you can resume your normal activities.
How Will My Face Look After the Peel?
Typically, the face will have a red appearance after the application. You can be functional during the week of the peel; however, you should avoid major social or business engagements for the week. You will experience sunburn-type flaking and peeling. Intense sun exposure should be avoided during that week. The use of SPF and moisturizer is strongly recommended. Please check out post-care chemical peel guidelines.
