Chemical Peel Treatments in Katy, TX

What is a chemical peel?

Chemical peels are skin rejuvenation procedures that can be used on the face, hands, neck, and body. They are used to enhance the look or feel of the skin. A chemical peel treatment improves the look of your skin by using a chemical solution. The chemical solution will be administered to the region being treated during the chemical peel treatment, causing the skin to exfoliate and finally peel off. When this occurs, the new skin beneath is frequently smoother, less wrinkled, and has less damage.

What conditions are treated with a chemical peel?

Chemical peels are used to treat certain skin disorders or to improve your appearance by enhancing your skin’s tone and texture. Chemical peels remove fine lines behind the eyes and around the lips, as well as wrinkles caused by sun exposure, aging, and genetic causes. Sun spots, age spots, liver spots, freckles, and uneven skin color are all examples of skin imperfections that can be reduced by chemical peel treatment. Melasma (dark spots) caused by pregnancy, birth control pills, or hormonal fluxes can also be treated with a chemical peel.

 

We will work with you to select the depth of your peel. This mutual choice can differ based on your skin’s condition and treatment goals.

Is chemical peel treatment good for all skin types?

In general, superficial peels are suitable for all skin types. However, if you have a darker skin tone, you are more likely to have skin darkening following treatment due to rapid cellular turnover. As you continue getting a peel series, the prescribed Homecare products will help to lighten and break up the existent pigment on the skin. Also, the peels will help to minimize acne marks known as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

How are chemical peels performed?

The chemical peel treatments begin by completely cleansing your skin with an agent that eliminates excess oils while your eyes and hair are protected. After that, a chemical solution is administered to your skin. Typical chemical solutions include glycolic acid, trichloroacetic acid, salicylic acid, lactic acid, and carbolic acid (phenol). The various chemicals induce regulated harm by entering a variable skin depth and then peeling away to show a fresh layer of skin.

 

A solution is applied to your skin during a chemical peel. You may experience a warm to a slightly heated sensation that lasts for a few minutes. A stinging feeling then follows. A cold compress can be applied to your skin to ease the sting. After that, the chemical is rinsed away and/or neutralized.
