What exactly is a chemical peel?
A chemical peel is like a spa day for your skin! It is a unique treatment that uses a special solution to exfoliate and remove dead cells, leaving you with a smoother, rejuvenated glow. It is a great way to refresh your facial skin and pamper yourself simultaneously!
Are chemical peels painful?
Not usually. Most of our patients at Revive RX Med Spa describe the sensation as a slight tingling or warmth, but it is well tolerated in light or “superficial” peels. Deeper chemical peels might feel a bit more intense, but your skincare professional at our office will make sure you are comfortable.
Will I look red and unsightly afterward?
It depends on the type of chemical peel that is performed. With our milder peels, you might have a little pink glow like you have just returned from a brisk walk. There might be some redness and peeling for stronger, deeper peels, hence the name. But that’s all part of revealing fresh, glowing skin.
Who can get a chemical peel?
Chemical peels are versatile and help with various skin types and concerns, like acne, wrinkles, or uneven tone. Whether aiming for a complexion pick-me-up or tackling a deeper skin concern, there’s a chemical peel right for you. Just chat with our professionals to find the right fit!
How long does it take to see the final results?
Results depend on the peel type. Some patients see a glowing difference after just one session, while others notice changes as their skin heals over the next few days. Trust the process, as your radiant skin is worth the wait!
Will I need to hide indoors after a peel?
Hiding indoors and avoiding social contact is not necessary for most of the chemical peels at our practice. You can carry on with your day as usual for lighter peels, but do not forget the sunscreen to protect your sensitive skin during this time. With our deeper chemical peels, you should lay low for a few days while your skin heals and peels. It is the perfect excuse for relaxing at home!
Can I get a chemical peel at home?
While “DIY” options are available, it’s always safer to leave professional-grade chemical peels to experts. They can assess your skin’s needs and customize the treatment to avoid complications. Self-care is important, but safety must also be a priority. If you have questions about chemical peels and their benefits, we encourage you to schedule a consultation at Revive RX Med Spa. Our providers can discuss which skincare services best suit your unique needs.
