What are chemical peels?

Chemical peels refresh aging skin using a chemical solution that promotes new cell generation. This treatment works by eliminating outermost skin cell layers, allowing smoother, younger-looking skin to emerge underneath. The treatment is simple and painless, offering flawless, long-lasting results.

What are the benefits of chemical peels?

Chemical peels may provide the following anti-aging benefits:

• Reduced scarring
• Smoother skin
• Fewer wrinkles and fine fines
• Improved skin tone
• Enhanced skin texture
• Fewer sun spots and age spots
• Less acne
• Reduction of precancerous spots
• Less melasma (dark patches)
• Increased collagen production 
• Fewer freckles

Chemical peels typically require minimal to no downtime and make excellent lunchtime treatments. 

What are the different types of chemical peels?

The three main types of chemical peels are the following:

Light peels

Light chemical peels remove outer skin cell layers to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, discoloration, acne, dryness, and more with minimal to no downtime. You might receive a light peel every 2-5 weeks.

Medium peels

Medium chemical peels remove skin cells from the upper part of the middle skin layer. They can treat acne scarring, uneven skin tone, and wrinkles. You might repeat medium peels, but less often than light peels. 

Deep peels

Deep peels remove deeper skin cells. They help reduce deep wrinkles, precancerous growths, and scarring. You can only have a deep peel one time, and the recovery time is longer than other peels. 

Which chemical peel is best for me?

The Beauty Bar 54 experts determine which chemical peel best suits you after discussing your goals, reviewing your medical history, and examining your skin. They review the benefits of each type of peel and make recommendations that provide outstanding results. 

What should I expect during a chemical peel?

Your specialist cleans your skin and numbs it as needed to enhance comfort. They apply chemicals to your skin while you relax, wait a period of time, and wash off or neutralize the solution. You might feel a mild stinging sensation. The length of time your peel lasts varies. It might take about 20-90 minutes.

What happens after my treatment?

You can expect redness, tightness, swelling, or irritation (similar to a sunburn) after undergoing a chemical peel. Follow your post-care instructions to keep your skin clean, protected, and moisturized. 

Over time, the treated skin heals, and cells regenerate. Light peels heal the fastest (a day or two), while it might take several weeks or months to completely heal from a deep peel.
