Chemical Peels

Individuals looking to improve skin texture, tone, or appearance are good candidates for chemical peels. Our experts at Tru Beauty by Trevor Medical Spa will tailor the best approach for your specific needs.

You will usually see results after the peeling process (approximately seven days), with improvements continuing over the following weeks.

Results can last anywhere from a few months to several years, depending on the type and depth of the peel and the regularity of maintenance treatments.

After the treatment, you may experience some redness, swelling, or peeling, but these effects are temporary. Our skilled Tru Beauty professionals will provide aftercare instructions.

Before a chemical peel, avoiding exfoliating treatments or products for at least 48 hours prior is essential. Sun exposure should be minimized, and retinoids or other potentially irritating skincare products should be discontinued several days before the procedure. After the peel, the skin might be sensitive and red, so it’s important to avoid direct sun exposure, use broad-spectrum sunscreen, and refrain from using harsh or exfoliating products for a few days. Keep the skin moisturized and do not pick or peel any flaking, as it could lead to scarring.

A chemical peel involves applying a safe chemical solution to the skin, causing it to exfoliate the outermost layers and eventually peel off. This process removes the top layers of damaged or dead skin cells, revealing a newer, smoother, and more radiant layer of skin beneath. The strength and depth of the peel depend on the type and concentration of the chemicals used. As the old skin peels away, the body’s natural healing processes stimulate collagen production and new skin cells, improving skin texture, tone, and appearance. The treatment can address various skin concerns, including wrinkles, discoloration, and acne scars.
