What is a Chemical Peel?

Chemical peels are a non-surgical treatment that rejuvenates your complexion by dissolving layers of old or damaged skin. This triggers the body to replace the skin with new, healthy skin cells and dramatically boosts the production of collagen and elastin.

Chemical peels can treat the skin at varying depths, from very light to deep. The deeper the peel, the greater the level of rejuvenation achieved. With a chemical peel, your skin is refreshed by removing the outer layer while it is restructured, plumped, and renewed from the inside out.

What Are The Benefits of a Chemical Peel?

Chemical peels are ideal for refreshing the complexion and clearing away debris, dead skin cells, dirt, oil, and damage. Each peel is customized to your unique needs and concerns, varying in intensity from mild to deep. Chemical peels help treat enlarged pores, age spots, acne scarring, surgical scars, fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, mild skin ptosis, freckles, melasma, uneven skin texture, and blemishes. A nice side benefit of a chemical peel is that it can trigger collagen regeneration, which leads to firm, tighter skin over time. Lastly, chemical peels can be well combined with other cosmetic treatments, such as injectables and dermal fillers.

What to Expect During the Peeling Process

The peeling process typically begins 2-3 days after the treatment and can last for up to a week. Here’s a day-by-day breakdown of what you can expect:

Days 1-2: Your skin may feel tight and slightly sensitive. You might notice some redness, similar to a mild sunburn.
  
Days 3-5: Peeling usually starts around the mouth and continues outward. The skin will flake off in small pieces, revealing fresh, new skin underneath. You may experience some itching or tingling.

Days 6-7: Peeling will begin to subside. The newly revealed skin may appear pink and feel sensitive, but it will gradually normalize.

Day 8 and Beyond: Most of the peeling should be complete, and your skin will look rejuvenated, smoother, and more even-toned. Continue to use gentle skincare products and sunscreen to maintain results.

Following the aftercare instructions and being patient during the peeling process will reward you with revitalized and youthful-looking skin. The results are well worth the wait – your facial skin will dramatically improve in quality, firmness, and tone. After a chemical peel in Friendswood, avoid sun exposure until fully healed.
