What Is A Chemical Peel?

Through the process of chemical exfoliation, chemical peels vaporize the outermost damaged layer of skin, removing blemishes, dirt, debris, oil, and makeup to reveal a more luminous, rejuvenated complexion. A chemical peel also helps to firm and tighten lax skin. Each treatment is carefully tailored to your individual concerns and comfort levels, and our providers will select the best approach for you after conducting a thorough consultation in The Woodlands. Peels come in three different types:

Light peels

Made with alpha-hydroxy acid, light peels refresh the appearance with minimal discomfort or downtime. Patients can undergo light peels every 4-6 weeks.

Medium peels

Formulated with trichloroacetic or glycolic acid to treat the skin’s middle and outer layers, medium peels provide more dramatic resurfacing results but also come with more downtime. Patients can undergo medium peels every 4-6 months.

Deep peels

Patients should only undergo a deep peel every few years, as it uses phenol or trichloroacetic acid and, therefore, requires a longer recovery period. Deep peels are ideal for treating entrenched skin folds, acne scarring, and sun damage.

Determining Your Candidacy – Is A Chemical Peel The Right Solution For Your Concerns?

During your private consultation in The Woodlands, our team will analyze your complexion and ensure the treatment will be safe and effective for you. Some skin tones are more vulnerable to hyperpigmentation, which is why it is essential that you are evaluated for a chemical peel in person. In general, healthy patients with realistic expectations make the best candidates. A chemical peel is not recommended for those with sunburnt skin, open sores, autoimmune disorders, or certain cancers. Additionally, pregnant or nursing women and those who have taken Accutane in the past six months should avoid chemical peels.

How is a chemical peel performed?

During a chemical peel session, your provider applies a specialized solution to the skin with a sponge. The solution’s strength correlates to your personal goals for improvement. Once the solution has stayed on the skin for a certain amount of time, it is washed off, and the face is soothed with a cold compress. You will then receive detailed aftercare instructions based on whether your peel was light, medium, or deep.

What will my recovery entail?

Recovery time after a chemical peel will be based on the peel’s intensity. With light peels, patients are able to resume normal activities right away, while with a deep peel, it can take several weeks for the skin to fully heal due to swelling, tenderness, and facial redness. As with all treatments, Dr. Kim and her team of experienced aesthetic practitioners will support you long after you leave the office, answering any questions that arise and guiding you along the path to preserving and maintaining the positive changes in your complexion.
