Chemical Peels

Unlock Radiant Skin: The Power of Chemical Peels

Looking to refresh your complexion and reveal a more luminous you? A chemical peel could be your answer. This sought-after cosmetic treatment rejuvenates your skin by effectively exfoliating the outermost layer, paving the way for a smoother, more radiant appearance.

The Laser Institue of Pinehurst Process:

A specialized chemical solution containing potent ingredients like alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), or trichloroacetic acid (TCA) is applied to your skin. This carefully crafted formula gently exfoliates the surface layer, encouraging the skin to shed and uncover a fresh, youthful layer underneath—think of it as a revitalizing reboot for your skin.

Chemical peels are customizable to suit your skin’s unique needs, offering options from mild treatments for a subtle glow to more intensive peels for deeper renewal. No matter your skin type or concern, there’s a peel designed for you.

And the benefits don’t stop there—chemical peels go beyond just exfoliation. They enhance your skin’s overall health by promoting cell turnover, eliminating dead skin cells, and stimulating collagen production. The result? Smoother texture, firmer skin, and a more even, radiant complexion. Say farewell to fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone, and embrace the youthful, glowing skin you’ve always desired.

During a chemical peel, patients can expect a relatively straightforward procedure. The process typically begins with a skincare provider cleansing the skin thoroughly. Then, depending on the type of peel (superficial, medium, or deep), a chemical solution is applied to the skin. Patients might feel a slight tingling or stinging sensation as the solution interacts with the skin. Following this, the solution is neutralized or removed, and a soothing ointment or moisturizer may be applied.

The entire procedure usually lasts around 15 minutes for superficial peels and 30-60 minutes for deeper peels, depending on the depth of the peel. Our skin care team will provide specific post-peel care instructions to ensure optimal healing and results.

Follow these maintenance recommendations to optimize the results of your chemical peel and promote healthy, rejuvenated skin:

• Follow Post-Peel Care Instructions: Adhere to the specific aftercare guidelines provided by your dermatologist or skincare professional. This often includes gentle cleansing, moisturizing, and sun protection to aid in healing and prevent complications.
• Avoid Sun Exposure: Shield treated skin from direct sun exposure and ultraviolet (UV) rays. Use broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher daily, and wear protective clothing, hats, and sunglasses when outdoors.
• Moisturize Regularly: Keep the skin adequately moisturized to maintain hydration and support the healing process. Use gentle, non-irritating moisturizers recommended by your dermatologist.

The number of sessions needed depends on the specific skin concerns and the type of peel used. Some individuals may see noticeable improvements after just one session, while others may require a series of treatments for optimal results.
