chemical peels

---

A skin peel is an advanced treatment designed to exfoliate and promote skin regeneration by removing the outer layers of skin. Through the application of carefully formulated chemical exfoliants, peels help smooth the skin’s texture and reveal a more radiant complexion. These treatments stimulate the production of collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycans, improving skin texture, enhancing elasticity, and boosting overall skin health and resilience. Not only do peels rejuvenate the skin, but they also restore its physiological and mechanical properties for a smoother, more youthful appearance.

We offer two premium chemical peel brands, both suitable for all skin tones and types:

• Germain de Cappucini 

• Mesoestetic Chemical Peels

These options are tailored to meet your skin’s unique needs, promoting visible, long-lasting results.

Chemical peels offer a range of benefits for various skin concerns. Here are some of the most common conditions that can be improved with chemical peel treatments:

• Breaking down comedones (clogged pores)

• Reducing oil production

• Killing acne-causing bacteria

• Decreasing inflammation

• Enhancing absorption of topical acne treatments

Light and medium peels are often used to improve acne.

As acne heals, the skin produces new collagen fibers, which can lead to hypertrophic (raised) or atrophic (depressed) scars. Chemical peels exfoliate the top layer of skin, helping to smooth out these scars by removing excess collagen. Medium peels are typically recommended for treating acne scars.

Chemical peels can reduce signs of aging, including:

• Wrinkles and fine lines

• Age spots and liver spots

• Uneven skin tone

• Rough texture and dryness

The treatment stimulates collagen and elastin production, leading to smoother, more youthful skin. However, chemical peels are not recommended for deep wrinkles or sagging skin.

For those with mild to moderate rosacea, especially acne-like rosacea, chemical peels can help reduce redness, swelling, and bumps, providing relief from some symptoms.

Chemical peels are effective at addressing various types of hyperpigmentation, such as:

• Melasma

• Freckles

• Age spots and sun damage

• Scars from surgery or injury

• Uneven skin tone

By promoting the regeneration of new skin, chemical peels can brighten the complexion, improve skin tone, and give skin a healthier, more radiant appearance.

After a chemical peel, it’s normal to experience some side effects. When you leave your appointment, your skin may appear red or flushed, similar to a mild sunburn. This redness usually subsides within 48 hours, but other effects, such as peeling and dryness, can take a bit longer to resolve.

Most visible recovery happens in the first few days, but the deeper layers of your skin will continue healing for several weeks. Some swelling or tightness is common in the first 48 hours after the treatment, and flaking or peeling skin is to be expected as your skin renews itself. Other possible side effects, such as minor breakouts or dryness, may occur but vary from person to person.

To minimize discomfort and aid recovery, it’s essential to follow the aftercare instructions provided by your aesthetician. Using a gentle cleanser and keeping your skin well moisturized will help manage the side effects. The good news is that the downtime after a chemical peel is relatively short, and with the right care, you’ll quickly start to see the benefits of the treatment.
