What is a Chemical Peel?

Chemical peels are a cosmetic treatment that involves the application of one or more specially prepared chemical solutions to the skin to exfoliate it and reveal the more youthful, smooth, and healthy layer of skin beneath.

There are three types of chemical peels that vary in intensity depending on the result the patient desires: Light, medium, and deep.

The most common and least invasive is the light peel. When it is administered, the skin is first thoroughly cleansed before the chemical solution is applied. Solutions used include glycolic acid, trichloroacetic acid, salicylic acid, lactic acid, or carbolic acid, and are applied to a small part of the skin to create a controlled wound. It is through this process that the skin is blistered and exfoliated, revealing a younger and smoother texture underneath.

What is the First Step?

Following a chemical peel, patients may need to wear bandages for several days on some or all of the treated skin, depending on the type of peel performed. Pain and discomfort following the procedure can be easily mitigated with pain medication. Patients should keep their faces moisturized and use ice packs to ease discomfort while at home during the healing process.

Following treatment, the skin will be much more sensitive to the sun, so be sure to avoid harmful UV rays, particularly at their peak intensity, between 10 am and 2 pm. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher to protect your skin from UVA and UVB rays. Additionally, refrain from using makeup and other cosmetic products during the healing period.

What to Expect on the Day of a Chemical Peel Treatment

When you visit our Los Angeles office for a customized chemical peel, you will lie down comfortably on our treatment table, with your eyes shielded by protective eyewear. Your skin will be coated with a numbing agent to reduce any discomfort. We may also apply a soothing gel around the eyes and the lips. Next, your chosen chemical solution is gently applied to the skin, where it begins working immediately to remove the outermost damaged layer. Once your treatment is finished, we will use a cold wash to remove the solution, and you will be free to return home.
