Peels can be done at different depths, including light, medium, or deep. While deeper peels produce more dramatic results, they also require a longer recovery time.

Chemical Peel Procedure

Skin Preparation

Before the chemical peel begins, the skin is carefully cleansed to remove oils, makeup, and impurities that could interfere with the process. Our qualified professional evaluates your skin type and condition to determine the right peel strength and formula for your desired results. This step ensures that the treatment is both safe and effective, allowing the chemical solution to penetrate evenly across the top layer of skin.

Application of the Chemical Solution

Once the skin is prepared, a customized chemical solution is applied to the treatment area. The solution works by gently exfoliating the top layer, removing dull and damaged cells while stimulating new cell growth underneath. During this stage, you may feel mild warmth or tingling as the solution activates. This controlled exfoliation helps improve the skin’s texture and tone while minimizing the appearance of wrinkles, discoloration, and blemishes.

Neutralization and Cleansing

After the solution has worked for the appropriate amount of time, it is neutralized to stop the chemical reaction. The skin is then cleansed again to remove any remaining residue. This careful approach ensures comfort and precision throughout the process, leaving the surface smooth and refreshed. The treatment helps enhance the overall appearance of the skin, promoting a more even, radiant complexion that reflects your desired results.

“I came in to Dr. Berardi’s for an appointment with their Nurse Injector Teresa. She was absolutely amazing! I received Neuromodulation, and lip filler and the outcome was amazing! She is the sweetest person and is so amazing at what she does!”

“This is the only place I trust for Neuromodulation! I’ve had bad experiences at other types of places like med-spas, but never here. Dr Berardi always does the injections himself and takes the time to go over what I want and do not want, and I always end with perfect results. I love this place.”

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Is the procedure painful?

Chemical peels are generally well-tolerated, although comfort levels can vary depending on the type of peel and individual sensitivity. Those with sensitive skin may experience mild tingling or warmth during the treatment; however, light peels are designed to be gentle and comfortable. Any temporary sensation typically fades quickly, leaving you with smoother skin and glowing results.

Do chemical peels address all skin conditions?

Chemical peels can be customized to target a variety of skin concerns. However, the best option depends on your specific goals and skin type. Light chemical peels help refresh dull skin and improve tone, while medium-depth peels can treat acne scars and uneven pigmentation. For those seeking a deeper treatment, stronger formulations can produce dramatic results by smoothing wrinkles and restoring great skin texture. Although not every condition can be fully resolved, chemical peels work effectively to reveal a fresh, more refined complexion.

Are the components of chemical peels (alpha-hydroxy acid and trichloroacetic acid) safe for cosmetic skin care?

Yes, these ingredients are commonly used and considered safe when applied by a qualified professional. Alpha-hydroxy acids, such as glycolic and lactic acids, help exfoliate the skin, improve collagen production, and enhance the overall tone and texture. Trichloroacetic acid and salicylic acid, used for your perfect peel, are also safe for use on the face, neck, and other areas when properly administered. Some temporary redness may occur after treatment, but it usually subsides quickly as the skin begins to renew and restore its healthy glow.
