Beginner’s Guide To Chemical Peels
How chemical peels can help you achieve radiant skin…
Want vibrant, healthy-looking skin that feels smooth and hydrated? Struggling to find the right product or treatment to help reduce your stubborn wrinkles or acne?
A chemical peel is an effective way to treat common skin problems like acne, wrinkles, and facial scarring. Often, as we age, our skin inevitably experiences “wear and tear” that is just a natural part of life. Whether you are struggling with wrinkles, facial scarring, or acne, you shouldn’t have to fight these skin issues on your own.
Although concealer can temporarily “cover-up” the issue of scarring, hyperpigmentation, or acne, it doesn’t really fix the source of the problem. Chemical peels are the perfect solution to treat all these skin problems and more.
Here, you will learn how chemical peels work, and what chemical peels are used for. This way, you will fully understand how chemical peels can help you achieve flawless-looking skin.
How Do Chemical Peels Work?
A chemical peel is a treatment that uses a specially formulated chemical solution that is applied to the skin. This solution then removes the top layers of your face, causing your skin to grow back smoother and more rejuvenated than before. Essentially, a chemical peel creates a “blister” that eventually peels off, leaving you with new, silky-smooth skin.
Most chemical peel treatments last only 30 minutes, making them a great way to enhance the look and feel of your skin.
Chemical Peels are categorized according to the strength of the treatment. There are three main types of chemical peels that each help improve specific skin issues. These three types of chemical peels are light (superficial), medium, and deep chemical peels.
Light Chemical Peel
A light (superficial) chemical peel removes the outer layer of the skin. This treatment is great for reducing the look of fine lines, acne, and skin dryness.
Our AlphaRet® Professional Peel System 50 features a blend of lactic, glycolic and salicylic acid. It is effective in improving fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, blemishes, uneven skin tone and dullness, along with overall skin tone and texture for patients with moderate photo damage.
Schedule your light chemical peel every two to five weeks for the best results.
Medium Chemical Peel
A medium chemical peel removes skin cells from both the epidermis (outer layer of skin) and the upper parts of the dermis (middle layer of skin). This helps with reducing wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven skin tone.
The VI Peel formula contains a proprietary blend of active ingredients, including salicylic acid, trichloroacetic acid (TCA), phenol, vitamin C, and retinoic acid. VI Peel is safe and effective on all skin types and can be used on the face, neck, chest, arms, back and legs. It is a virtually painless treatment that requires no skin preparation and has little downtime.
Our VI Peel helps with more moderate to severe skin imperfections such as fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, acne and acne scaring, pore size, tone and texture.
What Are Chemical Peels Used For?
A chemical peel is a procedure that can greatly improve your skin’s appearance, giving your healthy, glowy skin no matter your age or skin history.
At SOesthetic Med Spa, we help all our patients achieve the look they want to feel their best. We love chemical peels because they help a wide variety of patients with varying skin needs.
These are just some common ways chemical peels can help your skin:
Reduce Your Fine Lines and Wrinkles
No matter if you are in your 60s or early 30s, fine lines and wrinkles are a natural part of the aging process. There’s little to be done to prevent wrinkles. Yet, chemical peels are an effective way to reduce and even eliminate these stubborn, troublesome lines.

Improve Your Mild Facial Scars
Whether you have pesky acne scars from your teenage years or scarring from another condition, chemical peels can help improve and fade signs of scarring.
Help Fight Your Acne
Acne is not just something teens go through. Everyone can experience breakouts, no matter their age. This is why you shouldn’t feel ashamed about having acne as an adult. However, if you are struggling with your acne, chemical peels are a great way to help treat your acne. This is done by reducing the severity, look, and resurgence of your pesky breakouts.
Reduce Hyperpigmentation
Skin discoloration as you age is common. This is because as we age, the cells that make melanin (the pigment that determines your skin color) in our body can become damaged and unhealthy, resulting in skin discoloration.
A chemical peel can help reduce signs of hyperpigmentation, making way for flawless, radiant-looking skin.
Boost The Overall Look and Feel Of Your Skin
As you age, your skin’s texture inevitably changes. This is especially true as your skin gets drier and more weathered looking, especially if your skin has significant sun damage. Chemical peels work at boosting the overall look and feel of your skin, providing you the rehydrated, dewy look your skin needs.
