A Fresh Start for Your Skin

What Is a Chemical Peel?

Chemical peels are cosmetic treatments that involve the application of a chemical solution to the skin, which causes controlled exfoliation and removal of the outermost layers. These peels can vary in strength, from superficial to deep, and are used to improve the appearance and texture of the skin. By promoting cell turnover and stimulating collagen production, chemical peels can effectively address concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone, resulting in a smoother, more youthful complexion. At Nuance, we provide a wide range of chemical peels to address all skin conditions and concerns.

Resurfacing With Precision

What Is the Chemical Peel procedure like?

During your session, your skin is thoroughly cleansed before the chemical solution is applied. You may feel a warm or tingling sensation as the peeling agent interacts with the skin layers. For medium-depth peels, you might experience a more intense heat, but our team ensures your comfort throughout the process. Unlike cosmetic surgical procedures, a peel is an outpatient procedure that typically takes 30 to 45 minutes. Once the solution has reached the desired depth, it is neutralized or cleansed away, and a soothing skin care protocol is applied.

The Multi-Depth Advantage

What are the benefits of Chemical Peels?

The primary benefit of a professional chemical peel is its ability to treat wrinkles and skin texture without the downtime of laser resurfacing. By precisely removing damaged skin cells, these treatments reveal a new skin layer that is naturally more radiant and uniform in skin color. Superficial peels provide an immediate boost to a dull complexion, while medium-depth peels can penetrate deeper to address lines and wrinkles and deep scars.

  • Helps acne-prone skin
  • Improves sunspots
  • Improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
  • Improves skin texture
  • Boosts collagen production
  • Peels give your skin a healthier and more vibrant appearance.

Peels can be easily integrated with other cosmetic treatments like soft tissue filler or lip augmentation for a total facial refresh. Because we can customize the formula from lactic acid for hydration to trichloroacetic acid for correction, the benefits are specifically tailored to your most pressing skin concerns.

Tailored to Your Skin

Am I a Candidate for a Chemical Peel

Chemical peels are a popular choice for individuals seeking to rejuvenate their skin's appearance. Ideal candidates are those with mild to moderate skin concerns such as uneven texture, fine lines, or sun damage. If you're between 30-50 years old and have generally healthy skin without active infections or conditions like eczema, you might be a great fit. It's important to have realistic expectations and a commitment to post-procedure care for the best results. Our team will learn about your goals, assess your skin, and ask about your tolerance for downtime to pair you with the safest and most effective peel for you.

The Peeling Process

Chemical Peel Recovery

Depending on the strength of your peel, you may experience anything from mild flaking to more significant peeling for 3 to 7 days. During this time, your main priority is protection: do not pick or pull at the skin, as this can cause scarring or pigmentation issues. Keep the area hydrated with a gentle cleanser and moisturizer, and avoid direct sun exposure. Think of this as a brief phase that paves the way for your freshest skin to emerge.

The Reveal of Radiance

Chemical Peel Results

The results of a chemical peel are truly transformative. Once the peeling phase is complete, you will see a visible glow as the dull, dead surface layers are replaced by new tissue. You’ll notice a significant improvement in skin texture, a reduction in dark spots, and a more even toned skin appearance.

While a single peel provides a beautiful refresh, a series of treatments offers the best long-term results for deeper acne scars or persistent signs of aging. With proper skin care and sun protection, the brightening and smoothing effects can last for several months, helping you maintain a clear and healthy complexion.

Chemical Peel Frequently Asked Questions

Prior to our peel treatments, your skin will be cleansed to promote maximum skin penetration. In the next step, peel solution will be applied to treated areas in layers depending on the strength of the treatment. The solution is left to absorb into the skin for a designated amount of time and is then neutralized, aiding the skin in sloughing off the outermost layers of rough, uneven skin and revealing fresh, bright skin underneath.

Your degree of peeling may vary depending on the degree of peel, and the condition of your skin.

Yes, chemical peels are considered safe when performed by a qualified and experienced medical professional. It is important to remember to follow pre and post-procedure instructions from your provider to ensure the best possible results with minimal side effects. Sun protection is also important before and after the procedure to help protect your skin from further damage. The most common side effects are minor redness, swelling, and peeling, which should subside within a few days.

Even though a single peel can reduce some of the signs of aging, the aging process begins again once the skin has healed. Therefore, to maintain long-term improvement, you will need to plan on going maintenance treatments, and proper skincare.

Chemical peels address the visible skin imperfections that result from skin aging and sun exposure, such as fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin tone, and texture. Peels also address skin tone unevenness, melasma, and acne.

Since the new skin is more susceptible to sunburn, extra precautions should be taken to limit sun exposure for at least one week after the peel. It is imperative to use a broad-spectrum sunscreen product with an SPF of 30 or higher.

Best results are achieved by doing a series of 3 peels initially followed by maintenance peels every 3-4 months.
