This peel is especially helpful for dealing with active acne, overall skin tone and texture, deeper wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and a loss of elasticity.
Advanced chemical peels are in a league all of their own and should not be confused with some of the lower-level chemical peels that general estheticians can perform.
These chemical peels are typically more aggressive and, depending on the chemical and skin type, can have a dramatic peeling phase during the recovery and healing process.
Chemical peels have been the traditional go-to for anti-aging treatments. However, they offer benefits to many different skin conditions and can help improve acne, texture irregularities, pigmentation, and overall skin tone.
Acids typically break down into one of three different categories: Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs), Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHAs), and designer peels.
Alpha Hydroxy Acids have a smaller molecular size, allowing them to penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin and treat anti-aging conditions such as thinning skin, fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation, and elasticity.
Beta Hydroxy Acids have a larger molecular structure and treat more superficial conditions, such as acne, tone, texture, and superficial pigmentations such as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation due to acne or injury.
The last category of acid is considered “designer” or combination chemical peels, which consist of a combination of multiple acids.
This combination could contain an AHA and BHA together and is meant to treat particular skin conditions or skin types.
Depending on the skin’s condition and needs, a series of treatments can be recommended to achieve the desired results.
These chemical peels have a proliferative (or peeling phase) of 14-21 days, depending on skin type, condition of the treated skin, home care regiment, lifestyle choices, and age.
The client will want to consider all of these factors when anticipating recovery time when considering this service.
Setting up a consultation with a student esthetician is suggested prior to having the service for all first-time customers.
Not all chemicals are suitable for all skin types. Please discuss your skin care goals with your student esthetician to ensure you are a good candidate for this service.
Chemical peels can be a stand-alone service but can also be added to other advanced esthetics services (depending on the chemical).
Chemical peels can be used in conjunction with services such as dermaplaning, DiamondGlow Microdermabrasion, microdermabrasion, and microneedling for exceptional results (please note that this add-on option is not available to first-time clients).
Depending on the chemical peel, services can be booked every four to six weeks, depending on your recommended treatment plan.
