Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are an advanced skincare treatment designed to rejuvenate the skin by removing damaged and dead skin cells by applying a chemical solution. At Thrive! MedAesthetics + Wellness, we provide customized chemical peel treatments that are tailored to meet your needs and goals.
What Are Chemical Peels?
Chemical peels use active ingredients such as glycolic acid, salicylic acid, lactic acid, and TCA (trichloroacetic acid) to exfoliate the top layers of the skin gently. This process stimulates the skin’s natural healing mechanism, encouraging the regeneration of fresh, healthy skin cells. Peels are highly versatile and can be used on the face, neck, chest, and hands to address various skin concerns.
Benefits of Chemical Peels
- Enhanced Skin Texture and Tone: Smoother, more even skin texture with a radiant glow.
- Reduction of Lines and Wrinkles: Minimized appearance of early signs of aging.
- Improvement in discoloration, dullness, and sun damage.
- Decreased Appearance of Pores: Cleaner, tighter pores for a more refined look.
- Control and Reduction of Acne: Reduced breakouts and improved clarity.
- Improvement in Hyperpigmentation and Dark Spots: Lightened dark patches and melasma.
- Increased Skin Hydration: Enhanced moisture retention and improved skin suppleness.
- Stimulation of Collagen Production: Firmer, more resilient skin over time.
- Reduction in Skin Inflammation: Calmed redness and irritation for healthier skin.
Ideal Candidates for Chemical Peels
Chemical peels suit individuals seeking a non-invasive solution to enhance their skin’s appearance. They are effective for:
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne and acne scars
- Hyperpigmentation and sunspots
- Dullness and lack of radiance
Before starting treatment, our skincare professionals will consult with you to determine the best type of peel for your skin type and concerns.
What to Expect During a Peel Session
Each peel session lasts approximately 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the type of peel and the areas being treated. During the procedure, a customized chemical solution is applied to the skin, causing mild tingling or warming. After the treatment, the skin may experience mild swelling, flaking, or peeling for 2 to 5 days as it renews.
Post-Treatment Care
Your chemical peel will be most effective if you properly treat it afterward. Here are some essential tips:
- Use gentle, hydrating skincare products.
- Sunscreen should be applied daily to prevent direct sun exposure.
- Refrain from picking or peeling flaking skin to prevent scarring.
- Avoid harsh exfoliants or abrasive treatments for at least one week.
- Stay hydrated and follow a nourishing skincare routine.
- Schedule follow-up appointments for ongoing care and maintenance.
Treatment Schedule and Maintenance
- Initial Treatment Protocol: Monthly sessions for 3 to 5 treatments, depending on your skin's condition and goals.
- Maintenance: Periodic sessions every 1 to 3 months help sustain the results.
