Which type of Chemical Peel is best for me?
Are you considering a Chemical Peel? How do you know which chemical peel is best for you? We’ve provided a guide to determine which peel would be best for you. Professional Chemical peels are a great option for many skin concerns, including texture, hyperpigmentation, age spots, scarring, sagging skin, acne, fine lines, and wrinkles.
WHAT ARE CHEMICAL PEELS?
Chemical peels have been around since the mid-1800s! They gained popularity in the ’90s and early 2000s. We cleanse and examine your skin followed by applying your chosen chemical peel. Your skin may feel warm with a slight burning sensation that can last a few minutes. After a peel, your skin can feel tight and look red or flushed. Some peels come with no downtime or peeling, others slough off the top layer of skin to reveal a healthy new layer!
Our mission at Haus of aesthetics is to make you ‘love the skin you’re in!’ From the second you walk in, to when you leave, chemical peels can offer a great experience for everyone.
WHAT’S THE BEST TYPE OF PROFESSIONAL SKIN PEEL?
The truth is, there is no one “best” chemical peel. Everybody’s skin is different, and no matter what type of skin you have, we have a medical-grade chemical peel for you! Our highly trained Master Estheticians will look at your skin type, skin goals, and determine the best type of chemical peel for you.
Chemical peels can be a standalone treatment, the perfect option to prep for more aggressive treatment, or an add-on! We love adding chemical peels to Hydrafacials, Diamond Glow Facials, IPL photo facials, and micro-needling! Ask your provider at your next appointment to elevate your next treatment with a peel.
WHAT KIND OF CHEMICAL PEEL SHOULD I GET?
AT HAUS OF AESTHETICS, WE HAVE 3 LEVELS OF THE BEST PROFESSIONAL CHEMICAL PEELS:
- Basic Chemical peels are a great place to start. You will see the best results with a series of multiple peels. Basic Chemical Peels produce a minimal amount of peeling, and in some cases, no peeling at all! You’re truly glowing after a basic chemical peel, Great for someone who is looking for little to no downtime. These peels help with fine lines, dryness, acne, and minor pigmentation concerns.
- Intermediate Chemical peels penetrate deeper into the skin for more dramatic results. Intermediate peels come with mild to moderate peeling. These peels are for someone who’s ready to see results, with minimal downtime. Peeling usually starts on day 2 post peel and can last up to 5 days. On top of the concerns that basic peels can treat, intermediate peels are amazing for acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and wrinkles.
- Advanced Chemical peels will slough off the dull, damaged top layer of skin, revealing a smoother more even complexion. Advanced peels give our most drastic results. These peels are best for someone who is committed and ready to peel. Peeling usually starts on day 3 post peel and can last 7-10 days. Pigmentation and sunspots can darken and slough off with the peeling process. Advanced peels are the best for those with darker pigmentation, deep wrinkles, and advanced scarring. This type is also the best chemical peel for sagging skin.
What to expect?
Chemical peels come with mild to no discomfort. At the Haus, we recommend the following:
- All chemical peels require that you limit sun exposure the week prior to and after treatment
- Discontinue use of tanning products, active skincare products such as Salicylic acid, Glycolic acid, Tretinoin and Retinoids
- Consistent at-home skincare is so important with any chemical peel. We always have recommendations if you’re not sure where to start!
- Last but not least, always wear a medical-grade SPF!
