Do you have keratinized skin? Are your fine lines and/or 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? If you answered “Yes!” to any of these questions, a chemical peel could be the perfect treatment for you.
Not All Peels are Created Equal
We use a professional-grade peel line, not a medical-grade peel line. The big difference in 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. In fact, you may not see physical flaking at all with our peels. As we mentioned before, we take a progressive not an aggressive approach to skincare. We will never perform a big bang treatment on a first-time client. It is too risky for your skin. We take our time analyzing your skin, discussing your skincare issues, expectations, and homecare protocol. 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

The point of the chemical peel is to bring out impurities and create skin cell turnover exposing beautiful skin. 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 issues, a chemical peel can lessen the appearance and clear up unwanted textured skin. If you have acne impactions or are an acneic client – it will soften the keratinocytes/stratum corneum, closed comedones, papules, and pustules, and it will sloth off dead skin to bring impurities to the surface and clear out bacteria.
For those who would like anti-aging treatments and want to work on texture and fine lines, a peel is perfect because it dissolves desmosomes – these are the cells that bind your skin together like glue.
With a peel, your products will 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. When used properly, in conjunction with homecare and peels, mature clients may see more timely results.
Appointments cannot be made online for Chemical Peels. After doing a Facial at Smoothe your home care will be suggested. These products suggested by your Smoothe Esthetician are non-negotiable, and must be purchased at the time of the appointment in order to move forward with further more in depth treatments, and/or Chemical Peels.
