What to Know About Chemical Peels for Facial Rejuvenation
Having line-free, plump, and supple skin is a hallmark of youthful beauty. However, natural aging and years of sun exposure can cause significant damage to your skin layers. This leads to the appearance of unwanted wrinkles, acne, uneven skin tone, pigmentation, and skin laxity.
Since skin care products can only do so much to conceal your facial impurities, getting a chemical peel is the best solution to maintaining healthy and beautiful skin. This cosmetic procedure is minimally invasive and uses a special chemical solution that helps exfoliate dead skin cells at varying depths of the dermis.
Through chemical peeling, the damaged outer layers of the skin are removed which makes way for the growth of healthier and smoother skin. This is an amazing facial treatment on its own but can also be used with other cosmetic procedures to provide more dramatic results.
At BellaNess Med Spa, you can have the best chemical peel treatment with our experienced cosmetic providers. We’re committed to providing the highest standard of care and ensuring your safety and comfort in every chemical peel session. Whether you’re addressing facial wrinkles, skin discoloration, or acne scarring, our team will provide you with a personalized plan to help you achieve your desired outcome.
Common Skin Problems That Chemical Peels Can Treat
With a chemical peel, you can revitalize your appearance without undergoing cosmetic surgery. It’s one of the most versatile aesthetic treatments that can be used on a wide range of skin concerns. Here are some of the common issues that a chemical peel treatment can help improve:
- Facial wrinkles and fine lines: Improve the appearance of your frown lines, forehead wrinkles, and other facial folds with chemical peels. This treatment works wonders for achieving smoother and crease-free skin.
- Hyperpigmentation: If you notice a sudden increase in brown spots, dark patches, and areas of discoloration in your skin, a chemical peel can help get rid of the damaged skin layers and stimulate cell regeneration to correct your pigment irregularities.
- Rough skin texture: Aging and sun damage can also cause changes in the texture of your skin. A light chemical peel procedure can remove the top layers of rough and damaged skin to restore its smoothness and improve its dull and dry complexion.
- Acne breakouts: With their deep exfoliating and cleansing action, chemical peels can help unclog your pores and removes the buildup of dirt and debris to minimize your blackheads, whiteheads, and pimples. This treatment is also a great solution for reducing the appearance of acne scars.
- Precancerous skin lesions: Certain types of chemical peels can also treat precancerous growths on the skin. Along with laser skin resurfacing, a peel treatment can help improve the spots and get rid of dead cells to slow the progression of skin cancer.
How to Find the Right Facial Peel for You
Every chemical peel treatment begins with a consultation with one of our skin care experts. We’ll assess your skin condition and determine the right type of peel that will work for your specific concern. Your treatment plan may use any of the common types of chemical peels:
1) Superficial Chemical Peel: For Minimizing the Signs of Aging and Wrinkled Skin
If you struggle with visible wrinkles, unevenness, dryness, and light acne on the skin, you can benefit from a superficial peel procedure. This treatment uses low-strength solutions, such as lactic acid, salicylic acid, or glycolic acid peel, to exfoliate the skin’s outer layers and give back its smooth and luminous appearance. It can also stimulate increased collagen production to enhance your skin’s overall tone and texture.
2) Medium Chemical Peel: For Improving Skin Pigmentation and Discoloration
With a medium chemical peel, you can expect deeper exfoliation that affects both the epidermis and the upper layers of the dermis. This type of chemical peel is best suited for addressing hyperpigmentation, age spots, acne scars, and moderate wrinkles and fine lines. This can also be used for treating precancerous skin growths. Some of the common medium-depth peels are glycolic and trichloroacetic acid (TCA peel).
3) Deep Chemical Peel: For Correcting Acne and Reducing Severe Sun Damage
Deep chemical peels use stronger solutions that can reach the innermost or reticular layers of the skin. This type of facial peel is commonly used to reverse moderate to severe sun damage, deeper wrinkles, and acne scarring. It can also provide some firming effect on people with sagging skin. A phenol peel is the most common type of deeper peel that can provide significant skin transformation.
What to Expect From a Chemical Peel Procedure
Unlike plastic surgery, most facial peel treatments are outpatient procedures and can take anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour. Your chemical peel experience will depend on the strength of the solution used for your skin concerns. Here’s an overview of how a chemical peel session goes:
- You’ll be asked to sit or lie down comfortably as the provider prepares the peel.
- First, the skin will be thoroughly cleansed to remove excess oil, dirt, and other debris.
- The use of a topical anesthetic or numbing agent is usually optional, especially for light- and medium-strength peels. However, you’ll be given a sedative or local anesthesia if you’re getting a deep peel.
- Once the face is clean and fully numbed, the chemical peel solution will be applied to the skin.
- You may feel a slightly warm, tingling, or burning sensation as the chemical peel stays on your skin.
- After the appropriate time has passed, the acid solution will be neutralized with another agent. The purpose of a neutralizer is to help reduce the stinging and discomfort after the peeling.
- To help soothe and protect your skin after the peel treatment, a moisturizer or petroleum jelly will be applied after cleansing.
Top Benefits of Chemical Peels
A chemical peel treatment can help unveil a newer and healthier skin layer so you’ll feel more confidently beautiful. Here are the other benefits that you can expect from regular chemical peeling:
- Helps maximize the absorption and effectiveness of your skin care products
- Minimally invasive and low-risk treatment for facial rejuvenation
- Can be fully customized depending on your skin needs and concerns
- No need for a long downtime or recovery period
- Boosts your body’s production of collagen for long-lasting skin improvements

FAQs About Chemical Peels
Q: What side effects can you experience from chemical peels?
A: The side effects of the cosmetic treatment will depend on the strength of the peel used. Light and medium peels may cause mild skin irritation, dryness, swelling, and redness for a couple of days after the procedure. Deeper chemical peels may cause skin crusting, swelling, and prolonged redness. People with a darker and sensitive skin type may also experience hyperpigmentation with a deep peel treatment.
Q: How often should you get a chemical peel?
A: The results of chemical peels can last anywhere from several months to years. To maintain its effects, you can have repeat treatments every 4 to 6 weeks for light peels, 4 to 6 months for medium peels, and once every 2 to 3 years for deeper peels. You can always consult with our specialist for the recommended schedule of your chemical peels.
Q: How soon will you see results from a chemical peel session?
A: After a chemical peel treatment, your skin may look a bit sunburned and it may cause flaking as the damaged outer layers are peeled away. This can last for 3 to 5 days and once the skin begins to heal, new skin cells will form on the treated areas. You may expect the full results of a chemical peel treatment within 2 to 4 weeks after the procedure.
