What is a Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel is a cosmetic treatment that involves applying a specially formulated solution to the skin, which exfoliates and removes the damaged outer layers. This process promotes the regeneration of new skin cells, resulting in a smoother and more refined texture. Chemical peels can be customized based on the specific needs of each patient, ranging from superficial peels for mild exfoliation to deeper peels that target more severe skin issues.

Why Choose Chemical Peels?

  • Improves Skin Texture and Tone: Chemical peels effectively remove dead skin cells, smoothing rough patches and improving the overall texture of the skin.
  • Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles: By stimulating collagen production, peels help reduce the appearance of fine lines, particularly around the eyes and mouth.
  • Treats Acne and Acne Scarring: Peels help unclog pores, reduce inflammation, and promote healing of acne scars, leaving the skin clearer and more balanced.
  • Evens Out Pigmentation: Chemical peels lighten dark spots, melasma, and other forms of hyperpigmentation, leading to a more uniform skin tone.
  • Enhances Skincare Absorption: By removing the outer layer of dead skin, peels enhance the absorption of skincare products, maximizing their effectiveness.

Chemical Peels Options at Revive Cosmetic Clinic Edmonton

  • Superficial Peels: Use mild acids like glycolic or salicylic acid to gently exfoliate the outer layer of the skin, improving minor discoloration, rough texture, and fine lines.

  • Medium Peels: Utilizing stronger acids such as trichloroacetic acid (TCA), these peels penetrate deeper to address moderate wrinkles, age spots, and uneven skin tone.

  • Deep Peels: The most intensive option, deep peels use potent acids like phenol to treat severe wrinkles, scars, and sun damage, delivering dramatic results but requiring longer recovery.

Who Should Consider a Chemical Peel?

Chemical peels are suitable for a wide range of individuals looking to improve their skin’s appearance. Ideal candidates include those dealing with:

  • Acne and Acne Scarring: Peels help reduce breakouts and improve skin texture damaged by acne.
  • Fine Lines and Sun Damage: Peels are an excellent solution for reducing signs of aging and sun exposure.
  • Hyperpigmentation and Melasma: Chemical peels can help lighten dark spots and even out the skin tone.
  • Dull, Uneven Skin: For anyone seeking a radiant, youthful glow, chemical peels provide a noticeable boost in skin clarity and brightness.

What to Expect During Your Chemical Peel

Step 1: Consultation
We start with a personalized consultation to assess your skin and discuss your goals. Our experts will guide you through your options and recommend the best peel for you.

Step 2: Treatment
The procedure begins with a thorough cleanse and prep. The peel solution is then carefully applied to your skin, where it works its magic, breaking down damaged cells and encouraging new growth.

Step 3: Aftercare
You might experience some mild redness or tingling, but most clients describe it as feeling like a mild sunburn. Don’t worry we’ll provide you with all the aftercare tips you need to keep your skin protected and glowing.

How to Prepare for Your Chemical Peel

  1. Protect Your Skin: Avoid sun exposure and wear sunscreen daily to prevent any pigmentation issues before and after your peel.
  2. Skip the Scrubs: Hold off on exfoliating products or retinoids a week before your appointment to avoid over-sensitizing your skin.
  3. Stay Hydrated: Hydrated skin responds better to peels, so drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your treatment.

Aftercare Tips for Optimal Results

  • Use Sunscreen: Your skin will be more sensitive to sunlight after a peel, so apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen regularly.
  • Avoid Scrubbing or Picking: Let the skin naturally peel off; avoid using abrasive tools or touching the treated area.
  • Moisturize: Keep your skin well-hydrated with gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizers to soothe and support healing.
  • Follow Post-Treatment Instructions: Adhering to aftercare guidelines will help minimize side effects and ensure the best results.
