Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are topically applied Alpha Hydroxy acids that aid in the cellular turnover and rejuvenation of the skin’s surface. They focus on getting rid of the dead and dying skin cells and cause controlled shedding of several layers of the skin.

Depending on the nature and depth of the peel, a significant number of layers can be exfoliated. This allows new growth to be exposed, creating a fresh vibrant appearance.

At Advanced Laser Clinic, we can help you choose which chemical peel is best for you and your specific needs. Each chemical peel is chosen for your specific issues and can treat a variety of skin conditions.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

Anyone wanting to revitalize, regenerate, and repair their skin. Problematic and breakout prone skin will also benefit from regular peels.

Your skin type and the results you are aspiring to achieve will help us decide which class of peel is the most appropriate for your goals.

Light peels can be used by most anyone except the very sensitive skin type.

Medium depth peels can also be used by most people, but you cannot have sun exposure for a week before and a week after.

Types of Chemical Peels

At Advanced Laser Clinic, our chemical peels are divided into two categories:

Superficial Chemical Peels - The lightest category of chemical peels. These can be used regularly and have very little downtime.

Medium Chemical Peels - Contain a stronger potency of acids. This type of peel can be safely used once or twice a year. There is more downtime associated with medium depth peels.

Advanced Laser Clinic offers a variety of affordable chemical peels for skin rejuvenation. These peels can also be combined with other treatments for better Anti-Aging benefits.

How Often Is The Treatment Recommended?

Light peels can be used very regularly. Usually with the cellular turnover cycle, which is every 30 days. If your skin has been neglected, it is recommended to start a series of 4-6 treatments to be performed every two weeks to achieve the healthiest skin possible. Problematic skin will also benefit from this regimen.

Microdermabrasion Or A Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel is a chemical method of exfoliating the skin, while microdermabrasion is a mechanical method of exfoliating the skin. After a thorough skin analysis, our experienced medical esthetician will recommend the best choice for your personalized and unique skin type.

Can It Be Combined With Other Treatments?

For a more aggressive treatment, a chemical peel can be combined with microdermabrasion or dermaplane. This is recommended for combination or oily skin types. These skin types are usually less sensitive and can tolerate double exfoliation or more aggressive treatments. If you are wondering if you need this treatment, our expert medical estheticians will let you know if your skin needs a dual treatment.
