Chemical Peels

Do you have keratinized skin? Are your fine lines and wrinkles aging you? Do you have hormonal or cystic acne? Is your skin hyperpigmented from old acne scars or melasma? Does the texture of your skin or pore size bother you? A chemical peel could be your perfect treatment if you answered “Yes!” to any of these questions.

Not All Peels are Created Equal

PCA Peels at Smoothe LLC

We use a professional-grade peel line, not a medical-grade peel line. The big difference between these two types of peels is that professional-grade lines are not as strong. Therefore your face will generally not peel off all at once in a sheet. You may not see physical flaking at all with our peels. As mentioned before, we take a progressive, not aggressive, approach to skincare. We will never perform an extensive bang treatment on a first-time client. It is too risky for your skin. Instead, we analyze your skin and discuss your skincare issues, expectations, and homecare protocol. Please keep reading to learn more about what to expect at our appointments, the benefits of a chemical peel, and more.

The Benefits of a Chemical Peel

Chemical Peel at Smoothe

The point of the chemical peel is to bring out impurities and create skin cell turnover exposing beautiful skin. In addition, if you have fine lines or wrinkles, it promotes collagen and elastin production, softening fine lines and wrinkles.

If you have breakouts, acne, or hyperpigmentation, a chemical peel can lessen the appearance and clear up unwanted textured skin. In addition, if you have acne impactions or are an acneic client – it will soften the keratinocytes/stratum corneum, closed comedones, papules, and pustules. In addition, it will sloth off dead skin to bring impurities to the surface and clear out bacteria.

A peel is perfect for those who want anti-aging treatments and want to work on texture and fine lines because it dissolves desmosomes – these cells bind your skin together like glue.

With a peel, your products penetrate deeper into the skin, making them more effective.

Your skin will generally purge for four to six weeks. All client cell cycles are not the same. A younger client’s skin might show results quicker because of their increased cellular turnover time. As we age, cell turnover naturally decreases. There are specific products as you age that can be used to help promote faster turnover. Mature clients may see more timely results when appropriately used with homecare and peels.
Appointments cannot be made online for Chemical Peels. After doing the “Smoothe Start” Facial, your home care will be suggested.

These products your Smoothe Provider recommends are non-negotiable.

They must be purchased at the appointment for further, more in-depth treatments and Chemical Peels.
