Chemical Peels in Charlotte

Though it may sound intimidating, a chemical peel is a gentle yet effective treatment designed to rejuvenate the skin through controlled exfoliation. During this procedure, a safe, naturally derived solution is applied to the treatment area. After five to 10 minutes, the solution is washed off, leaving you with healthy, glowing skin.

Whether you want to brighten your complexion or address minor blemishes, chemical peels offer amazing results with minimal downtime. This facial treatment can also be combined with other quick and effective therapies offered at Ageless Remedies SouthPark Med Spa in Charlotte, NC.

Benefits of Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are a proven method for achieving fresher, brighter skin. Key benefits include:

  • Enhanced Radiance: By removing dead skin cells, chemical peels improve skin texture and tone. This affords a vibrancy that over-the-counter facial treatments can’t match.
  • Fewer Breakouts: If you’re tired of ineffective acne creams, chemical peels can help cleanse pores and regulate oil production.
  • Anti-Aging Effects: Chemical peels stimulate the production of proteins essential to skin elasticity and firmness, diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Quick and Convenient: Since chemical peels only take an hour, you can seamlessly incorporate this rejuvenating therapy into your busy Charlotte lifestyle.
  • Minimal Downtime: Unlike surgical interventions, chemical peels require minimal downtime. That means you can resume your normal activities directly after treatment.

Chemical Peels for Specific Concerns

Chemical peels in Charlotte can remedy a range of skin conditions and concerns, including:

Chemical peels for skin texture

If you’re tired of feeling self-conscious about your dry, rough skin, chemical peels can help. Made using natural exfoliants, these facials gently remove dirt, makeup, and other impurities. This process leaves you with smoother, softer, and more touchable skin.

Chemical peels for dull complexion

A dull complexion can make you look older than you actually are. Chemical peels restore your vibrant, youthful glow by exfoliating away dead skin cells and promoting skin renewal. As a result, most patients notice a smoother, more radiant complexion after a single treatment.

Chemical peels for minor imperfections

Minor imperfections like fine lines, crepey skin, and acne scars can impact how you carry yourself in this world. Reclaim your confidence with chemical peels. Specially formulated to stimulate collagen production, these treatments diminish blemishes, erase signs of aging, and empower you to look and feel your best.

What to Expect During Chemical Peel Treatment

Chemical peels are one of the safest, least invasive ways to rejuvenate your skin. Here’s what you can expect during the hour-long treatment session.

Step 1: Consultation

Before the procedure, you will meet with your healthcare provider. During this consultation, they will assess your skin type, concerns, medical history, and goals for treatment. This helps determine the most suitable chemical peel for you.

For example, if you struggle with hyperpigmentation or uneven skin tone, we may suggest the Melanage chemical peel. Or, if you struggle with persistent acne breakouts, we may recommend a HydraFacial. No matter your needs, we can create a treatment plan that’s right for you.

Step 2: Preparation

On the day of the peel, your skin will be cleansed with mild soap and water. Afterward, your medical aesthetician will apply an astringent solution like witch hazel to your skin.

Step 3: Chemical peel application

Next, the aesthetician will protect your eyes with goggles and pull your hair back using a headband. They will then apply the chemical solution using a cotton swab or a small sponge.

Once the solution has been applied, the aesthetician will leave the chemical peel on your face for five to 10 minutes. During this time, you may feel a mild tingling sensation.

Step 4: Neutralizing wash

To remove the peel from your skin, your healthcare provider will wash your face using a neutralizing solution. They will then apply an ointment to the treated area to prevent dryness.

Step 5: Post-treatment care

After the chemical peel, your healthcare provider will provide specific post-treatment instructions to optimize your results.

Potential side effects

When administered by trained healthcare professionals, chemical peels are safe and effective. But like any cosmetic procedure, there are potential side effects. These include:

  • Redness
  • Peeling
  • Dryness
  • Sensitivity

 

These side effects typically improve within 24 to 72 hours. To help minimize discomfort:

  • Use a gentle, hydrating moisturizer
  • Wear high-SPF sunscreen
  • Apply cool compresses to soothe the skin
  • Avoid abrasive scrubs and exfoliants
  • Don’t pick or peel any flaking skin

Chemical Peels in Charlotte FAQs

How often should I get a chemical peel?

We recommend chemical peels every four to six weeks for optimal results.

How much does a chemical peel cost?

Total cost will depend on the specific chemical peel program recommended by our medical aestheticians. But when compared to surgical interventions, chemical peels are a much cheaper way to reclaim your vibrant, youthful glow.

How long is a chemical peel session in Charlotte?

A chemical peel session normally takes about an hour.

Is there any downtime after a chemical peel?

The downtime after a chemical peel is very minimal. Your skin may feel dry and itchy for a few days. You may also experience some redness and pain, similar to a sunburn. However, you can resume all normal activities immediately after your chemical peel session.

Additional Services to Consider

Combining chemical peels with complementary treatments can help you reach your aesthetic goals faster. Here are some additional procedures we recommend pairing with chemical peels in Charlotte:

Botox

One of the most sought-after cosmetic injections in Charlotte, Botox smooths dynamic wrinkles like forehead lines and crow’s feet. In comparison, chemical peels brighten complexion and correct minor blemishes. When combined, these two treatments offer even more dramatic, long-lasting results than when administered alone.

Microneedling

Combining microneedling with chemical peels is a powerful approach to skin rejuvenation. While microneedling stimulates collagen production and improves skin texture, chemical peels exfoliate dead skin cells and enhance skin tone. Together, these therapies work synergistically, affording smoother, more youthful-looking skin.

Skin Classic skin care treatment

The Skin Classic skin care treatment uses high-frequency energy to treat minor skin irregularities and epidermal conditions. Healthcare professionals often combine the Skin Classic with chemical peels to provide patients with brighter, more even-looking skin that’s free of minor imperfections.

Microdermabrasion

During microdermabrasion, a diamond-tipped wand gently removes the outer layer of dead skin cells. This exfoliating process improves skin texture while reducing fine lines and wrinkles. Pairing microdermabrasion with a chemical peel can help you achieve a more radiant complexion.

Cortisone injections

If you want to stop acne in its tracks, consider combining cortisone injections with chemical peels. Cortisone injections quickly address cystic pimples, reducing inflammation and swelling within hours. When followed by chemical peels, which exfoliate the skin and prevent future breakouts, you can enjoy clearer, smoother skin.
