How does chemical peel work in Los Angeles?

During a chemical peel, we apply the exfoliant acid on to the thicker areas of skin first, such as the chin, nose, and cheeks. Then we will apply it to the thinner areas such as around the eyes and mouth. After the chemical peel, we use cool saline compresses to remove any remaining exfoliant.

Chemical Peel Types: A Comprehensive Guide 

There are various types of chemical peels available, each with their own unique formula and level of intensity. The three main categories of chemical peels are:

  1.  Superficial peels - the mildest form and are often used to improve the texture of the skin and give it a brighter appearance.

  2.  Medium peels - more intensive and can be used to improve the appearance of sun damage, uneven skin tone, and fine lines.

  3.  Deep peels -the most intensive and are used to treat deep wrinkles and scars. 

It is important to choose the right type of chemical peel for your specific skin concerns and skin type.

Chemical Peels for Acne: Is it Effective?

Yes,  Chemical peels can be an effective treatment option for acne, as they can help to unclog pores and remove dead skin cells that can contribute to breakouts. There are different types of chemical peels available that can be used to treat acne, including salicylic acid peels and glycolic acid peels. It is important to schedule a consultation with our professional to determine the best type of chemical peel for your specific acne concerns.

Chemical Peels vs. Microdermabrasion: Which is Right for You?

Both chemical peels and microdermabrasion are popular treatment options for improving the appearance of the skin. However, they work in slightly different ways and are suitable for different skin concerns. Chemical peels use a chemical solution to remove the outer layers of the skin, while microdermabrasion uses a handheld device to physically exfoliate the skin. Chemical peels are typically more intensive and are used to treat deeper wrinkles, scars, and uneven skin tone, while microdermabrasion is often used for more mild skin concerns, such as uneven skin texture and minor blemishes. Scheduling a consultation is very important to determine which treatment option is best for your specific skin concerns.
