Though a chemical peel is generally thought of as a facial procedure, other areas can benefit from this treatment. The complete list of chemical peel treatment areas includes:
- Face
- Neck
- Hands
- Smoothed skin tone
- Improved skin texture
- Clearer skin
- Skin tightening
- Increased collagen production
- Increased elasticity
- Breakout prevention
- Balanced skin tone
- Wrinkle and line reduction
- Improved skin firmness
First, you will have a consultation to determine what strength of chemical peel is appropriate for your needs. There are three types including light, medium, and deep. Only the deep peel requires a local anaesthetic. Otherwise, the procedure is quick and conducted by brushing the chemical solution onto the treatment area and applying a neutralizing agent upon completion. Light and medium peels are generally not considered painful by most clients. Depending on the strength of your peel, side effects and downtime will range from 0 to 3 weeks; that is, a light peel requires almost no recovery period, a medium peel may have a recovery period up to 2 weeks; and a deep peel may take up to 3 weeks to recover.
