What Is a Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel is a skin-enhancing procedure that employs a chemical solution to enhance the outer layers of the skin. It can be used to reduce age spots, acne scars, uneven skin tone, and cold sores. The solution removes dead skin cells and reveals new healthy skin underneath.

Chemical peels can range from light to deep, depending on the desired result. Light peels use alpha hydroxy acids such as glycolic acid or lactic acid to remove superficial layers of the skin. These are often used for reducing wrinkles, fine lines, and dark spots. Deeper peels use trichloroacetic acid (TCA) or phenol for more severe sun damage or acne scarring.

Deep chemical peels have the most dramatic results, but they may require sedation or topical anesthetic due to their intensity. It is important to consult with a licensed esthetician before undergoing any type of chemical peel so that a proper consultation can be performed and realistic results can be achieved safely and effectively.

Types of Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are a popular cosmetic treatment that helps improve the appearance of the outermost layers of skin. Depending on the desired result, they range from light to deep in intensity.

Light Peels

Light chemical peels use alpha hydroxy acids such as glycolic acid or lactic acid to gently remove superficial layers of skin. These are often used for reducing wrinkles, fine lines, and dark spots. Superficial chemical peels also help promote a healthy glow by removing damaged skin cells and revealing new ones underneath.

Medium Peels

Medium chemical peels penetrate deeper into the middle layers of the skin and are used to treat more severe sun damage or acne scarring. They can even out skin tone and reduce hyperpigmentation caused by sun exposure. Commonly used medium-depth peels include salicylic acid, glycolic acid, and lactic acid.

Deep Peels

Deep chemical peels penetrate the deepest layer of the skin and have more dramatic results than light or medium-depth peelings. These types of treatments may require sedation or topical anesthetic due to their intensity. The most common deep peel is called TCA (trichloroacetic acid). It is very effective for eliminating signs of aging, such as wrinkles, age spots, and deep facial lines.

No matter what type of peel you choose, it is important to consult with a licensed esthetician before undergoing any type of chemical peel so that realistic results can be achieved safely and effectively.

How to Get Ready for a Chemical Peel Treatment

Before undergoing a chemical peel in New Jersey with our team, it is important to properly prepare for the treatment. This will ensure that the results are achieved safely and effectively. Here are some tips for preparing for a chemical peel.

1. Consult with an expert esthetician.

Consulting with an experienced esthetician before your facial treatment can help determine the best type of chemical peel for your specific skin issues and skin texture. Your esthetician may also recommend further treatments depending on your medical history and facial skin condition.

2. Cleanse your face.

Before the procedure, you should thoroughly cleanse your face to remove any makeup or other impurities from the surface of your skin. This helps ensure that all layers of skin are properly exfoliated during the treatment process.

3. Avoid sun exposure.

It is important to avoid direct sun exposure for at least a week before undergoing any type of chemical peel, as this can increase sensitivity and lead to adverse reactions during the procedure. Sunscreen is also recommended afterward to protect newly revealed skin from UV damage.

4. Prepare for peeling.

It is normal for your facial skin to start peeling within a few days after the procedure, especially if you have undergone deeper peels such as TCA or phenol peels. To reduce discomfort and speed up healing time, it is advisable to keep your face moisturized with hydrating products and protect it from further irritation by avoiding harsh soaps or cosmetics until all layers of skin have fully healed.

Skin Type and Conditions Assessment​

As an experienced esthetician, it is important to be able to properly assess a client’s skin type and condition before performing any chemical peel treatment. This will allow us to determine the best type of peel for their specific needs and ensure that the desired results can be achieved safely and effectively.

When assessing a client’s skin type and condition, we start by discussing their lifestyle habits such as diet, sun exposure, smoking habits, etc. This helps us get an idea of how their skin behaves daily and what we can expect from the treatment. We also carefully examine the skin surface with a magnifying lamp to check for signs of dehydration, oiliness, texture irregularities, acne, or other blemishes. When evaluating a client’s skin condition, we look for signs of aging, such as wrinkles, age spots, or discoloration due to sun exposure or hormonal changes.

Depending on what we find during this assessment phase, we may recommend light chemical peels such as glycolic acid or lactic acid for treating superficial wrinkles and hyperpigmentation or medium-depth peels like salicylic acid for severe sun damage or acne scarring. In some cases, we might even suggest deep peels like TCA (trichloroacetic acid) if the client wishes to target deeper facial lines or more advanced signs of aging.

It is also important to consider any underlying medical conditions before performing any chemical peel procedure. For instance, clients who take certain medications may not be suitable candidates for certain types of treatments due to potential reactions with the acids used in the peelings. In these cases, alternative treatments such as microdermabrasion may be recommended instead to achieve safer results without risking further complications.
