Here’s a guide for determining your peel treatment plan. Consult with a professional for more personalized information.
Not all chemical peels are the same. The strength of the peel plays a key role in determining how often you should schedule treatments.
Your skin type, concerns, and how your skin reacts to treatments all play a role in how often you should get a chemical peel. Those with sensitive skin may need more time between treatments, while those targeting acne or pigmentation may benefit from a more frequent schedule.
For the best results, consult a professional to determine your skin type’s ideal peel and frequency. Following a proper post-peel skincare routine, including hydration and sun protection, will help maintain the benefits of your treatment.

Happy New Year! Wouldn’t it be great to look better with a cosmetic procedure? Look no further than a chemical peel! A chemical peel improves the look of skin on the face, neck, or hands. As a result of applying a chemical solution, the skin becomes irritated, blisters, and eventually peels off. The new skin usually appears smoother and less wrinkled.
Different types of chemical peels are available, and the type you receive will depend on your desired results. The alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) peel is the most common peel, designed to treat wrinkles, sun damage, and acne.
If you’re considering a chemical peel, you’ve come to the right place! In this article, we’ll give you everything you need to know about chemical peels – from the types of peels available to the risks and side effects associated with the procedure.
Chemical peels fall into three main categories:
Superficial peels are the most common peel and are often referred to as “lunchtime peels” because they take place in as little as 30 minutes. They can treat fine wrinkles, sun damage, and mild acne.
Medium peels help treat wrinkles, sun damage, and moderate acne. They penetrate the skin deeper than superficial peels and often require anesthesia. Medium peels can cause some redness and swelling, usually taking 7-10 days to heal.
Deep peels are the most aggressive peel to treat deep wrinkles, severe sun damage, and advanced acne. They penetrate the skin deeply and often require anesthesia. Deep peels can cause extensive redness and swelling, taking 14-21 days to heal.
After a chemical peel, it is crucial to avoid sun exposure as much as possible. If you must go out in the sun, wear sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher.
