Read on for a complete guide to chemical peels from the cosmetic experts at Dr. Lanna Aesthetics.

What Are Chemical Peels and How Do They Work?

Chemical peels are cosmetic treatments that use a chemical solution to exfoliate and peel off the outer layers of skin, promoting renewal and regeneration. They work by causing controlled damage to the skin, triggering increased cell turnover and collagen production. As the damaged skin peels away, fresh new skin is revealed underneath with improved tone and texture.

There are several types of peels that work at different depths:

• Light peels - Also called superficial peels, these treat the outermost layer of skin. They improve texture, pigmentation, and address fine lines.
• Medium peels - Penetrating the epidermis and papillary dermis, medium depth peels stimulate collagen and treat pigmentation, wrinkles, acne, and scars.
• Deep peels - The most intensive option, these penetrate deepest to fully resurface the skin. They address severe photoaging, deep wrinkles and scars.

The chemical solution applied triggers this controlled damage to the skin layers. Common active ingredients include alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), trichloroacetic acid (TCA), and phenol. The depth reached depends on factors like chemical concentration and pH.

What Skin Conditions Can Chemical Peels Improve?

Chemical peels are highly versatile treatments that can improve many skin concerns through exfoliation and stimulation of new skin growth. They are excellent options for:

• Acne and acne scarring
• Fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity
• Dull, uneven complexion and skin texture
• Pigmentation issues like melasma, age spots, and hyperpigmentation
• Active and early signs of aging
• Sun damage
• Enlarged pores

The type of peel and concentration of acid determines which conditions it can best treat. A customized approach based on your individual skin analysis ensures optimal results.

What Are the Benefits of Chemical Peels?

Chemical peels offer a wide array of benefits for those seeking cosmetic skin rejuvenation and enhancement:

• Improves tone and texture - Exfoliates away dull surface skin for a smooth, glowing appearance.
• Evens skin tone - Diminishes dark spots and pigmentation issues.
• Reduces acne - Clears pores and prevents future breakouts.
• Minimizes scarring - Lightens the appearance of acne scars.
• Softens fine lines and wrinkles - Stimulates collagen production for firmer skin.
• Enhances absorption of skincare - Allows better penetration of topical products.
• Non-invasive with minimal downtime - Little recovery needed compared to more invasive procedures.

The right peel provides beautiful, youthful looking results without extended downtime.

What Should I Expect During a Chemical Peel Treatment?

The chemical peel process is straightforward, non-invasive, and customized for your needs:

• Your skin is cleansed and prepped for treatment. For deeper peels, a primer may be applied first.
• The chemical solution is applied and allowed to penetrate for 2-5 minutes. You'll feel a stinging or warming sensation.
• The peel solution is neutralized and removed. Additional soothing products may be applied.
• For light peels, the process takes about 30 minutes. Deeper peels can take up to two hours.
• Following your peel, your skin may be red, raw, and mildly swollen temporarily before flaking off over the next few days.

Dr. Lanna Aesthetics ensures your comfort and safety throughout chemical peel treatments. Their medical expertise provides the most effective results.

How is Recovery After a Chemical Peel? Downtime and Aftercare Tips

Recovery time varies based on the type and depth of your chemical peel:

• Light peels - Redness subsides within 1-7 days. Exfoliation occurs over the next few days.
• Medium peels - Moderate redness, swelling, and flaking for up to 2 weeks.
• Deep peels - More intense redness, swelling, oozing, and prolonged peeling for several weeks.

Following your peel, it's important to:

• Avoid direct sun exposure and use SPF 30+.
• Gently cleanse and apply anti-inflammatory creams. Avoid irritating products.
• Stay hydrated and moisturize frequently.
• Avoid heat, sweating, and picking at peeling skin.
• Take prescribed medications to aid healing.

How Much Do Chemical Peels Cost?

Chemical peel costs vary based on the type of peel, number of treatments needed, and your provider.

The investment is well worth it for the dramatic yet non-invasive cosmetic improvements peels provide. Contact Dr. Lanna Aesthetics for exact pricing tailored to your needs.
