Everything You Need to Know About Chemical Peels

At Dr. Phillips Aesthetics, we offer personalized skincare solutions, including advanced chemical peels, to improve the appearance and texture of your skin. This effective treatment targets concerns like acne, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and uneven skin tone by gently removing the outer layers, revealing radiant, youthful-looking skin.

We personalize chemical peels for your skincare needs. Our superficial peels are perfect for refreshing your complexion with minimal downtime, addressing minor imperfections like fine lines and mild discoloration using gentle acids such as glycolic acid. For more significant results, our medium peels penetrate deeper to treat moderate concerns like wrinkles, acne scars, and sun damage, effectively rejuvenating the skin.

For more severe conditions, such as pronounced wrinkles or substantial sun damage, our deep peels offer transformative results. Using phenol, these treatments remove the top three layers of skin, improving texture and tone dramatically. Dr. Phillips Nagsuk, MD will carefully assess your skin type and condition to recommend the most suitable peel for you. Following the procedure, we provide comprehensive aftercare guidance to ensure optimal healing and protection of your newly revealed skin.

At Dr. Phillips Aesthetics, our team offers advanced aesthetic treatments, including chemical peels, to help you achieve your skincare goals. This popular, non-invasive procedure exfoliates and removes outer skin layers with a specific chemical solution, revealing smoother, younger-looking skin.

Our chemical peels are designed to address various skin concerns. They help reduce acne scars, unclog pores, and prevent breakouts, promoting clearer skin. The treatments also fade sun spots, age spots, and melasma for a more even skin tone. By stimulating collagen production and removing dull surface skin, our peels target fine lines caused by aging and sun damage, leaving skin smoother and more youthful. Additionally, they help remove rough patches, like actinic keratosis, reducing the risk of skin cancer progression.

Our chemical peels refine skin texture, making it softer and more radiant while reducing the appearance of large pores and enhancing clarity for a brighter complexion. They are also effective for conditions like rosacea, helping to reduce redness and inflammation. Whether you have dry or oily skin, our peels are tailored to your needs, removing dead skin for better moisturizer absorption in dry skin or reducing excess oil and pore size for oily skin.

At Dr. Phillips Aesthetics, we’re committed to helping you achieve your skincare goals with personalized treatments. Preparing for a chemical peel begins with a consultation to assess your skin type, medical history, and goals, ensuring we recommend the most suitable peel for optimal results and comfort.

To prepare for your chemical peel, use gentle cleansers and moisturizers, avoiding exfoliating scrubs, retinoids, and AHAs/BHAs at least a week prior. Protect your skin with broad-spectrum SPF 30+ and wear protective clothing outdoors. Discontinue retinoid use two weeks before the peel, and consider smoking cessation to aid healing. Arrive with clean skin and wear loose clothing to prevent irritation. For deeper peels, pain relief may be recommended, and avoid alcohol and blood thinners to reduce bruising. During the peel, safety is prioritized with protective eyewear, and temporary tingling or burning sensations.

Post-treatment care is essential for achieving the best results after your chemical peel. Stick to gentle skincare products and avoid exfoliating until advised. Be sure to schedule follow-up appointments to track your progress and adjust your skincare plan as needed.

At Dr. Phillips Aesthetics is committed to ensuring you achieve the best outcomes from your chemical peel treatments. Our tailored post-care regimen is designed to support your skin’s healing process and enhance the results of your procedure.

After a chemical peel, protect your skin from direct sunlight for at least two weeks using broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen, and consider wearing a wide-brimmed hat. Keep your skin hydrated with a fragrance-free, non-comedogenic moisturizer. Cleanse your skin twice daily with a mild cleanser and lukewarm water, avoiding exfoliating products to prevent irritation during the initial recovery period.

Once your skin has healed, typically within 4-6 weeks, you can gradually reintroduce gentle exfoliation with guidance from our professionals to maintain your skin’s health. It’s crucial not to pick or peel any flaky skin, as this could lead to scarring or infection. If you experience itchiness, soothing gels or calming creams with aloe vera or chamomile will help provide relief.
