Medical Peels in San Clemente, California

A chemical peel is a form of chemical exfoliation that uses a mix of acids to exfoliate the top layer of the skin, remove dead skin cells, and reveal a brighter, more youthful layer beneath. Different peels are formulated with different ingredients with different concentrations, including light, medium, and deep peels. This variety allows individuals of different skin types with different conditions to effectively treat and target the signs of aging and other skin conditions.

Chemical peels can treat various skin conditions and improve skin health in both men and women. They can improve both healthy and unhealthy skin and help you reach all of your skin goals. These non-invasive treatments require very minimal downtime and can help:

• Lighten acne scars and marks

• Improve skin tone and texture

• Promote overall skin health

• Help treat and correct hyperpigmentation, including freckles, melasma, pregnancy mask, sunspots, and age spots

• Reverse the signs of aging

• Soften fine lines and wrinkles

• Restore youth to the under-eye area

• Soften lines around the mouth

A chemical peel is often performed in conjunction with a facial. During your treatment, your aesthetician will apply the peel to your skin for a specific amount of time. Once that time has passed, she will remove the peel from your skin and complete your chemical peel by cleaning your skin and nourishing it. Chemical peels are relatively quick treatments, so you can schedule them without worrying about rearranging your schedule to attend appointments.

There are several factors to consider in determining which of these medical-grade peels is right for you. When you come in for your initial consultation with one of your experts, we will take several factors into account, including your skin type, whether or not you have experienced a chemical peel in the past, your reaction to that peel, and your skin conditions.

Once we make the proper assessment, we can help choose the best peel for your skin to get you the best results possible. There is a peel that will work well for your skin, you just need to schedule an initial consultation so you can find out which peel that is.

Chemical peels do improve the skin, but dead skin cells always come back, so there is always more work to be done. Adding a chemical peel to your regular skincare routine can help maintain the most beautiful and ageless skin possible. Based on which peel you choose, we can help create a treatment plan to schedule these peels accordingly so that you can maintain beautiful glowing and healthy skin year-round.

Lighter peels can be performed more often than medium and deeper peels since they contain the lightest concentration of ingredients. Medium and deeper peels need a little more time between each to ensure that your skin doesn’t lose its protective barrier from over-exfoliation. One of our experts will review these peels with you and create a plan that meets your needs.

As a general rule of thumb, the stronger the peel, the more likely your skin will peel. However, peeling is not painful; it is just necessary to achieve beautiful skin after undergoing this treatment. Not everyone’s skin will peel after this treatment, so it will vary from patient to patient. When you come in for your initial consultation, we can provide you with a better idea of what type of results you can expect immediately following your treatment.

Whether your skin is healthy and you want to keep it that way, or you have some stubborn skin conditions that you want to treat that you’re at home products have been unable to, you are most likely a good candidate for one of our medical-grade peels.

We will confirm that you are a treatment candidate during an initial consultation and then choose the right peel for you. Some patients may not qualify for a peel based on safety precautions, including pregnant and nursing women.
