Chemical Peels
Conveniently located to serve Newport Beach
Skin rejuvenation with a chemical peel in Newport Beach can improve skin texture, tone, and overall health. Not only can it reduce the appearance of blemishes, it also promotes skin-cell renewal and diminishes wrinkles for a youthful glow. When integrated into your skincare routine, peels can effectively make your skin smoother and brighter.
Chemical peels should be performed by well-trained skincare professionals to prevent serious complications such as chemical burns and lasting damage. At FaceologyMD, our experienced and skilled licensed aestheticians are the perfect choice for your next chemical peel.
What Is a Chemical Peel?
Chemical peels involve the application of a chemical solution to the skin, which causes controlled exfoliation of dead skin cells. By removing damaged outer layers, chemical peels stimulate cell turnover and reveal fresher, younger-looking skin. Moreover, chemical peels stimulate collagen production, a vital protein responsible for the skin’s strength and elasticity.
At FaceologyMD, we perform superficial, moderate, and deep peels. Superficial peels have a shorter recovery time and address subtler skin issues. Moderate and deep chemical peels remove more layers of skin cells, not just top layer. This allows them to correct deeper-reaching skin issues for enhanced results.
Ideal Candidates for Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are suitable for you if you have concerns about skin texture, tone, and pigmentation irregularities. Ideal candidates are individuals who want to explore non-invasive skin-rejuvenation treatments. It is important to have realistic goals and a positive outlook.
Chemical peels cannot be applied where there is an active infection, sunburn, or open wound. If you have recently undergone radiation therapy or a surgical facial procedure, you may not be a good candidate for a chemical peel. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you may not be recommended for this treatment.
Your Consultation
To ensure you are eligible for a chemical peel at FaceologyMD, a skin examination will be performed during your consultation. You should discuss your desired results so that a treatment plan can be created to properly address your specific skin issues.
A review of your medical history will be conducted, discussing aspects such as scarring tendencies, current medications, and skin conditions. Make sure to mention any skin allergies or sensitivities to avoid complications. You may be advised to discontinue certain medications or skincare products in the days leading up to the procedure.
How Is a Chemical Peel Applied?
The first step in the chemical peel procedure is cleansing of the target area. The chemical peel solution is then applied to the cleansed skin. It will be left on the skin for a duration that is determined in advance based on the peel’s strength and the patient’s skin type. After this, the chemical solution is neutralized or removed using water or a neutralizing agent.
Recovery and Healing
The recovery period following a chemical peel can vary depending on the depth and strength of the peel. Mild redness, swelling, and a temporary stinging or burning sensation are common immediately after the procedure.
The skin may start peeling within a few days and continue for up to a week. It is crucial to avoid picking at the skin to prevent complications and ensure proper healing.
Sun protection measures, such as wearing sunscreen and avoiding direct sun exposure, are essential during the recovery phase to protect the newly revealed skin. Post-treatment instructions should be followed to optimize the effectiveness of the chemical peel and prevent unintended damage to the skin.
Cost of Chemical Peels
The cost of your chemical peel will depend on several factors, especially the type and depth of your peel. The overall price may be affected by the number of treatment sessions needed to achieve your desired results.
