What are Chemical Peels?

Chemical peels are cosmetic treatments that use a chemical solution to exfoliate the outer layers of the skin, promoting the growth of new, healthier skin. By removing dead skin cells and stimulating cell turnover, chemical peels can improve the texture and tone of your skin while reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, and acne scars. We offer different types of chemical peels, including:

  • Superficial Peels: These gentle peels use mild acids to exfoliate the outer layer of skin, making them suitable for all skin types. They can enhance overall skin texture and radiance with minimal downtime.
  • Medium Peels: These peels penetrate deeper into the skin and are effective for treating more pronounced concerns such as uneven pigmentation and moderate wrinkles. Recovery may involve some peeling and redness but generally resolves within a week.
  • Deep Peels: Designed for more severe skin issues, deep peels penetrate the dermis to provide significant results. While they require a longer recovery period, the effects can be transformative.

Benefits of Chemical Peels at Excel Medicine

  • Improved Skin Texture: Chemical peels help to refine and smooth the skin’s surface, giving you a more youthful and radiant complexion.
  • Reduction of Acne and Scarring: These treatments can effectively reduce the appearance of acne scars and active breakouts by promoting cell turnover and unclogging pores.
  • Even Skin Tone: Chemical peels can diminish the appearance of hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and age spots, resulting in a more uniform skin tone.
  • Customizable Treatments: Our expert practitioners will assess your skin type and concerns to recommend the most suitable chemical peel for your specific needs.

What to Expect During Your Chemical Peel Treatment

  1. Consultation: Your experience begins with a detailed consultation where we will discuss your skincare goals, evaluate your skin condition, and determine the most appropriate chemical peel for you.
  2. Preparation: Before the peel, the treatment area will be cleansed, and you may be advised on pre-peel care to optimize your results.
  3. Treatment: During the procedure, the chemical solution will be applied to your skin. You may experience a mild tingling or stinging sensation, which is normal. The length of the treatment will vary depending on the type of peel.
  4. Post-Treatment Care: After the peel, you will receive aftercare instructions to help ensure optimal healing and results. Some redness and peeling are common, especially with medium and deep peels, but these effects will gradually diminish.
