Chemical peels are a cosmetic treatment that can be applied to the hands, neck, and face, and the main goal of this procedure is to improve the appearance of the skin.

There are several types of chemical peels, ranging in strength from mild to deep. The three main types are:

Mild or Superficial Peels: These peels use mild acids, such as alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), to gently exfoliate the skin and improve its texture and tone.

Medium Peels: These peels use stronger acids, such as trichloroacetic acid (TCA), to penetrate deeper into the skin and treat more severe skin concerns, such as sun damage and age spots.

Deep Peels: These peels use phenol, a powerful acid, to penetrate deep into the skin and treat more severe skin concerns, such as deep wrinkles and scars.

Chemical peels can provide all sorts of benefits:

Improved Skin Texture and Tone: Chemical peels can help to exfoliate the skin, removing dead skin cells and leaving the skin smoother and brighter.

Reduced Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Chemical peels can help to stimulate collagen production, which can result in a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Improved Skin Hydration: Chemical peels can improve the skin’s ability to retain moisture, resulting in a more hydrated and plumper complexion.

Reduced Acne and Hyperpigmentation: Chemical peels can also help to reduce the appearance of acne and hyperpigmentation, resulting in a more even skin tone.

Improved Skin Firmness and Elasticity: Chemical peels can help stimulate collagen production and improve skin elasticity, resulting in a firmer and more youthful complexion.

Overall, chemical peels can provide a safe and effective way to improve the texture, tone, and overall appearance of the skin. It is important to consult with a qualified healthcare professional to determine the best type of peel for your skin concerns and to ensure that the procedure is performed safely and effectively.

The cost of a chemical peel can vary greatly. Mild or superficial peels typically cost less than medium or deep peels. On average, a chemical peel can cost anywhere from $150 to $1,500, or more.

It is important to keep in mind that chemical peels are considered cosmetic procedures and are typically not covered by health insurance. However, some medical insurance plans may cover peels if they are performed to treat a specific medical condition, such as acne or hyperpigmentation. A New You Day Spa offers pre-approved financing for those who need help with costs.

During a chemical peel, a solution is applied to the skin, causing it to peel and eventually peel away, revealing new, smoother, and more radiant skin. The length of the procedure and the amount of solution used will depend on the type of peel being performed.

After the procedure, it is normal for the skin to be red, swollen, and even sensitive. Over the next few days, the treated skin will begin to peel, revealing new skin underneath. The actual extent of peeling will depend on the type of peel performed. Mild or superficial peels may result in only slight flaking, while medium or deep peels can result in more significant peeling.

It is important to follow the aftercare instructions provided by your healthcare provider in order to ensure optimal results and minimize the risk of complications. This may include avoiding sun exposure, using a gentle cleanser and moisturizer, and applying a protective ointment to the treated skin.

Multiple treatments might be recommended for desired results, and the results may vary from person to person.
