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.

Chemical Peel Examples
Benefits of Chemical Peels
- Promote skin renewal by removing dead skin cells and stimulate the production of collagen.
- Can be a valuable tool in the treatment of acne and help prevent future breakouts.
- Regular treatments can minimize the appearance of scars and reduce hyperpigmentation.
- Removing the outer layer of dead skin cells during this treatment allows skincare products to penetrate more effectively, maximizing the benefits of serums, moisturizers, and other products in your routine.
Side Effects from Chemical Peels
- Skin may appear red or flushed after the procedure, lasting for a few days to a week depending on the depth of the peel.
- Mild to moderate peeling or flaking of the skin is typical, especially with medium or deep peels, as the outer layers of skin shed.
- Skin might feel dry or tight following the peel, which usually resolves with proper moisturization.
- Some swelling, particularly in the treated area.
- Skin becomes more sensitive to the sun, so it's crucial to use sunscreen as recommended.
What to Expect During Your Chemical Peel
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.
Maintenance Recommendations for Chemical Peels
- 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.
