A chemical peel is a safe and effective treatment that will help improve the tone and texture of your skin. Chemical peels can provide noticeable results for your face along with your chest, neck, and even your hands.
However, similar to other cosmetic treatments, the key to achieving and maintaining optimal results from your chemical peel is knowing when it’s the right time for your next treatment.
What Is a Chemical Peel?
This is a cosmetic treatment where an aesthetician applies a safe chemical solution to your skin to remove the top layers that will soon reveal a smoother, younger-looking layer.
Chemical peels can treat:
- Wrinkles
- Skin discoloration
- Scars
- Uneven texture and tone
Patients who receive chemical peels may even combine them with other treatments like facials, to enjoy more rewarding results.
Chemical Peel Types and Frequency
Depending on your desired results, you may decide to choose one of three depths. The frequency of receiving a chemical peel depends on the depth you use. For example, aestheticians can perform light chemical peels more frequently than deep peels.
Light Chemical Peels
Light or superficial chemical peels remove the outer layer of skin. These treatments target wrinkles, acne, dryness, and uneven skin tone. With the light chemical peels, we recommend receiving one about every two to five weeks.
Medium Chemical Peels
Medium chemical peels remove the dead skin cells from the outer layer and the upper part of the middle layer of skin. This type targets wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven skin tone. Patients who would like to achieve or maintain their desired results may need to receive this treatment every three to nine months.
Deep Chemical Peels
A doctor may recommend a deep chemical peel for deeper wrinkles, scars, or precancerous growths. However, patients will generally only need to receive one deep chemical peel.
