WHAT ARE CHEMICAL PEELS?
To provide the highest quality results from chemical peel facial treatments, Clique Salon and Med Spa provides you with several options. Your individualized chemical peel with exfoliating solutions (such as glycolic, salicylic, trichloroacetic, and lactic acids) will give you more radiant skin. At our Lakeland, FL office, registered nurse Racheal R. Santarpia offers chemical peel treatments, like the VI Peel or SkinBetter Science® formulas, that solve skin abnormalities, including fine lines, wrinkles, scars, uneven patches, hyperpigmentation issues, and more. Chemical peels remove dead, damaged skin cells with the application of a special solution on the skin that causes the upper layer to slough off. When your skin recovers and begins to repair and rejuvenate itself, you should see a clearer, smoother complexion. A chemical peel treatment is a nonsurgical method to make your skin bright and may be appropriate for the face, neck, and décollatage.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM A CHEMICAL PEEL
At your appointment at Clique Salon and Med Spa, we will have you lying down in a relaxed position to administer your treatment. A team member will ensure the skin is cleansed before applying the personalized solution to the face and/or neck. We will massage the solution onto the skin and let it work for an appropriate amount of time, which will be discussed in your treatment consultation. Then, we will wash the solution off your face and apply a neutralizing agent. Patients may want to bring light sunscreen or a hat to wear outside after the procedure to avoid UV exposure. We offer the following chemical peels:
- VI Peels: This is a medium-depth chemical peel that exfoliates the skin and encourages collagen and elastin development. It can be used on all skin types and tones and is gentle enough to be used on sensitive areas, like the eyelids.
- Skinbetter Science: These formulas feature a three-step peel system blend of lactic, glycolic, and salicylic acids that improves overall skin tone and texture for patients showing early signs of aging or blemishes.
CHEMICAL PEEL FAQS
What level should I choose for my chemical peel?
The best chemical peel at Clique Salon and Med Spa for you will vary based on your unique skin issues and cosmetic goals. In your consultation with our team, we will help you choose which chemical peel is right for your skin. A few things we might consider are your overall health, your skin type, the depth of your skin concerns, how long you would prefer to spend in recovery, and what concerns you have about the appearance of your skin. For first-time patients, it may be better to select a light chemical peel and decide what you think of the results. After this, we can adjust your treatment plan to find the best type of peel for your skin.
Should I get a chemical peel or dermabrasion treatment?
Dermabrasion and chemical peels are both facial rejuvenation procedures that address surface blemishes to give your skin a rejuvenated appearance. The difference is that dermabrasion requires surgical tools (a shaving instrument or rotating brush ) to remove the surface skin layer through a careful scraping process. A chemical peel at Clique Salon and Med Spa applies a caustic solution to your skin to dissolve damaged skin cells. In your initial consultation, our team will go over the pros and cons of both options and help you choose whether dermabrasion or a chemical peel is better for achieving your needs and goals.
Will my face hurt after a chemical peel?
Depending on the peel selected, you may have mild discomfort throughout the treatment and shortly after. If you get a light peel, you may notice a little stinging, but it can go away quickly with the use of a handheld fan. Medium and deep peels are good for deeper skin issues and offer results that last a long time; however, they typically are more uncomfortable. Topical anesthetics and ointments can be used to help you feel more comfortable during your treatment. A member of our team will explain the best approaches to skin care after your chemical peel to maintain your results.
