What is a Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel is a precision skin resurfacing treatment that uses a chemical solution to exfoliate and remove the outer layer of the skin.

This process stimulates cell turnover, revealing new skin that looks brighter, smoother, and more youthful.

At Avani Derm Spa, we offer a range of chemical peels, including:

  • Light Chemical Peels – Use alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), glycolic acid, lactic acid, or salicylic acid to gently exfoliate the skin, improving uneven skin tone, fine wrinkles, and rough skin with little to no downtime.
  • Medium Chemical Peels – Utilize trichloroacetic acid (TCA) or beta hydroxy acid to penetrate the middle layer of the skin, effectively treating moderate lines, age spots, and sun damage.
  • Deep Chemical Peels – Contain phenol and croton oil or carbolic acid, reaching the middle layer of the skin to correct deep scars, severe wrinkles, and dark patches. These peels require a longer recovery but provide dramatic, long-lasting results.

Elevate Your Skincare

What is the Chemical Peel procedure like?

Your chemical peel treatment begins with a thorough skin evaluation to determine the best chemical solution for your skin and concerns.

Your aesthetic specialist will help you select the type of peel that works best for your skin type and suits your preferences regarding the strength of the peel.

During the procedure:

  1. The skin is cleansed to remove oil and impurities.
  2. A chemical solution is applied to the treatment area, creating a mild stinging or burning sensation.
  3. The solution remains on the skin for a set period before being neutralized or removed.
  4. Over the next five to seven days, the treated skin will eventually peel, revealing fresh, new skin underneath.

Deep chemical peels may require a longer application process and post-treatment care, including antiviral medication to prevent cold sores in patients prone to outbreaks. Your provider will ensure you know what to expect from your treatment and how to care for your skin afterward.
