We are able to treat all skin types with our Chemical Peels, and a good candidate would be someone looking for a more even pigment, improvement in acne and acne scarring, skin texture and anti-aging. However, before scheduling your appointment, you must have realistic expectations from this treatment. One of our experts at Covet MedSpa will guide you to determine what peel is best for your skin type for the desired results.

Depending on the kind of peel you choose, your recovery may vary:

If you had a light superficial treatment, very little recovery time is required. Most patients return to their daily activities immediately following treatment.

If you opted for a medium or deep peel, the recovery period will be longer. There may be peeling for the first week or two over the treatment area. Any swelling or redness from the treatment will fade away on its own. You may have a pinkish skin tone following treatment, but this will fade away with time as well.

The formula of a Chemical Peel consists of phenol, trichloroacetic acid, and alphahydroxy acids. This formula can also be customized to best fit you and your skin, depending on your skin texture. Here are the 3 different types of Chemical Peels available:

• A light peel which offers subtle enhancement.
• A medium peel which gives you a smooth and fresh look.
• A deep peel which gives you dramatic results.

If you had a deep Chemical Peel treatment, you will see the full results of your peel once your skin has fully recovered. The results of a deeper peel are more drastic and last longer than other treatment options.

If you select a lighter Chemical Peel, you may have to receive periodic follow-up treatments to maintain the best results. Deep wrinkles will eventually return with aging, however, a Chemical Peel can bring you months or even years of youthful and rejuvenated skin.
