Chemical Peels

Introduction

Introduction to Chemical Peel

Chemical peels can effectively improve a wide variety of skin conditions, including fine lines and wrinkles, uneven pigmentation, shallow acne scars, sun-damaged skin, age spots, freckling, and more. At Lux Skin Lasers, we offer a variety of chemical peels in Bryn Mawr, King of Prussia, and the greater Philadelphia area. Chemical peels come in varying strengths, usually denoting the depth of skin penetration by the peel. These treatments can be effective in improving the appearance of fine surface wrinkles, superficial blemishes, complexion, and pigmentation problems. At Lux Skin Lasers, one of our experienced providers will blend a custom peel for you based on your specific needs. Please read below for more information.

What is a Chemical Peel?

Chemical peels are noninvasive treatments that use a chemical solution to exfoliate dead skin and uncover a new layer of skin beneath. They are usually used on the face but can also be used elsewhere on the body. Chemical peels have varying strengths. You may need to undergo the procedure more than once with a light or medium peel to get the desired results. Deeper chemical peels offer more significant results but take longer to recover.

Light Chemical Peel

Lighter chemical peels are excellent options for removing superficial brown spots, improving finer lines and wrinkles, and refreshing the appearance of your skin. This peel exfoliates a tiny layer of the outer skin and results in a rejuvenated glow.

Medium Chemical Peel

A medium chemical peel is stronger than a lighter peel in that it will go a bit deeper than the outer layer of the skin. They target the same symptoms as light peels.

Deep Chemical Peel

Deep chemical peels treat more stubborn brown spots, more difficult skin textural issues, and deeper lines and wrinkles. They are typically completed in 4 to 7 days, and very mild pinkness in the skin progressively thereafter. Given the depth of these peels, they might be performed with a local anesthetic to ensure comfort.

Chemical Peels We Offer:

Custom Chemical Peel

PCA and SkinCeuticals peels are blends of well-tolerated, safe, and effective acids that are not timed, neutralized, or removed from the skin. Instead, they are self-neutralizing and left on the skin. This peel is designed to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and uneven skin texture and improve acne scarring and mild sun damage. Our peels are customized to suit your skin’s specific needs. All skin types can benefit from these universal peels. They can be done on the face and other parts of the body. This superficial peel may also be used to prepare the skin for a deeper peel. This peel is best done in a series of treatments for optimal results.

The TCA Peel

The TCA peel is used to treat mild to moderate wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and long-term sun damage. It is a more in-depth treatment designed to remove aged and damaged skin layers while improving its appearance. A series of treatments can be very effective. Chemical peels are sometimes combined with dermabrasion or laser resurfacing for a more dramatic overall effect.

What’s the First Step?

The first step in getting a chemical peel in Philadelphia is to schedule an in-person visit at Lux Skin Lasers for a consultation with one of our certified providers. The appointment includes an evaluation of your skin and a discussion about your medical history, skin health, cosmetic goals, and concerns. If undergoing a chemical peel is right for you, we explain the treatment, its benefits, risks, and the expected outcome.

At the end of the consultation, we aim to arrive at a mutually agreed-upon treatment plan. After that, you can either receive your chemical peel immediately following your consultation or, if you prefer, schedule it for a later time.

What to Expect on the Day of a Chemical Peel Treatment

Chemical Peels involve the use of a chemical solution, such as glycolic acid, to improve and smooth the texture of the facial skin. Your provider will choose a solution and concentration based on your skin and the desired effects. Most peels involve very little discomfort or downtime. However, you and your provider may decide to pursue more aggressive and deeper peels for more dramatic results. Glycolic acid peels are an important part of skin rejuvenation regimens, in combination with sun protection and appropriate skin care products such as medical grade retinol or Retin-A products.

The results of a chemical peel depend in part on its depth. A chemical solution is applied to the skin, causing a superficial separation and peeling. New skin generation follows this over the next 3-7 days. This procedure destroys parts of the skin in a controlled way so that new skin can grow in its place. The new skin is smoother and less wrinkled than the old skin and may also be more even in color.

Today, with the public’s increasing interest in rejuvenating the skin and slowing the appearance of aging, chemical peeling has emerged as an exciting treatment option. Our laser or microneedling treatments may also enhance the results of chemical peels.

Chemical Peel Recovery

The downtime after a chemical peel varies and is based on the peel you receive and your skin assessment. Some require no downtime, while others may create some “bronzing” with subsequent peeling, which should diminish in 2 to 5 days.

If you receive the ReVitalize Peel, redness and peeling may occur 2 to 5 days after treatment and last 3 to 7 days.

If you receive a medium-to-deep chemical peel, it is typically completed in 4 to 7 days, and very mild pinkness in the skin will resolve shortly thereafter. Throughout the recovery process, you may notice your skin has a bronzed appearance, which is to be expected. If your skin looks bronzed, you can expect light peeling. It’s important to allow for ample recovery time and not pick at your skin or peel it.
