What is a Chemical Peel
A chemical peel is a cosmetic skin treatment that uses a specialized solution to gently remove the outer layers of damaged skin. This process encourages new skin cells to form, revealing a smoother, more even, and youthful complexion.
Chemical peels can be customized to target various concerns, including:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Sun damage and age spots Uneven skin tone and texture Acne scars and blemishes Dull or tired-looking skin
Depending on your skin needs, Dr. Sears may recommend a light, medium, or deep chemical peel to achieve optimal results.
Benefits of a Chemical Peel
- Brighter, smoother skin with improved texture
- Reduction in fine lines and wrinkles
- More even skin tone and pigmentation
- Refreshed, rejuvenated appearance Improved absorption of skincare products
Chemical peels offer a non-surgical, minimally invasive way to restore youthful radiance and confidence.
Aftercare and Recovery
After a chemical peel, proper aftercare is essential to ensure optimal healing and results. Your skin may appear red, feel tight, or experience mild flaking as it renews itself.
Aftercare recommendations include:
- Keep skin clean and moisturized with gentle products recommended by your provider
- Avoid direct sunlight and wear broad-spectrum SPF daily
- Do not pick or peel flaking skin
- Avoid harsh skincare products or exfoliants until cleared by your doctor
- Follow all post-treatment instructions provided by Dr. Sears and her team
Recovery time varies depending on the depth of your peel. Light peels may require minimal downtime, while deeper peels can involve several days of healing.
