Chemical peels are when a chemical solution is applied to the skin in order to create a controlled wound. The chemicals or acids dissolve the "glue" that holds skin cells together.   Why do we want to create a wound to our skin? Our skin has an incredible rate of repair. When you create a wound to your skin you are forcing the dead and damaged skin cells to slough off thus leaving the skin healthier with a more youthful appearance. How do chemical peels work? In order to understand how chemical peels work you need to understand a little bit about the different acids we use. Alpha and beta hydroxy acids are the most common used for chemical peels. AHA's work from the inside out by penetrating into the skin and essentially pushing things out. BHA's or salicylic acid works from the outside in and "melts" your top layers of dead skin. BHA's work very well for acne as they are anti-microbial and anti-bacterial. How can chemical peels help with fine lines and wrinkles? Our body has an elaborate wound healing process. Once we create the wound our body will immediately send fibroblasts to the area. A fibroblast is cell produced in our body that is responsible for making collagen and elastin. So essentially you are creating a wound and so forth creating more collagen and elastin. The wound healing process can take up to 6 months to complete and that is why some will see delayed results. Why would I want to get a chemical peel? Chemical peels can help with the appearance of certain types of acne, fine lines and wrinkles, pigmentation, sun damaged skin, age spots, mild scarring, and improve the look and feel of the skin. How many chemical peels do I need to see results? We usually recommend a series of 3-6 peels depending on the level of damage present on your skin. Once your series is complete we suggest you do quarterly refresher peels to maintain your results. How do I know what kind of chemical peel to get? The best thing to do is schedule a facial and we will do a thorough skin analysis. We will determine how deep and severe the damage is and create a plan for your skin. We will determine how many chemical peels you will need and at what level. Don't have time for a facial? We offer free consultations.
