Medical Peels - Laguna Beach

A chemical peel is a technique that employs various acids for chemical exfoliation, helping to exfoliate the outer skin layer, remove dead cells, and uncover a fresher, more youthful layer beneath. There are many types of peels available, each formulated with different ingredients and concentrations, from light to deep. This variety enables people with diverse skin types and conditions to effectively treat aging signs and other skin issues.

Chemical peels are capable of treating various skin concerns and improving skin health for both men and women. They can enhance both healthy and problematic skin, helping you achieve your skin goals. These non-invasive treatments involve very little downtime and can assist in:

• Lighten the visibility of acne scars and marks.

• Improve both skin tone and texture.

• Encourage overall skin health.

• Help to address and correct hyperpigmentation, including freckles, melasma, pregnancy mask, sunspots, and age spots.

• Reverse the effects of aging on the skin.

• Softens fine lines and wrinkles.

• Reinvigorate the under-eye area for a younger look.

• Softening the lines around the mouth.

A chemical peel is typically performed alongside a facial. Your aesthetician will apply the peel to your skin for a designated time. After this time, she will remove the peel and conclude the process by cleaning and nourishing your skin to restore its natural beauty and promote total rejuvenation.

With chemical peels being relatively fast procedures, you can easily fit them into your schedule without worrying about rescheduling your commitments.

When deciding on the right medical-grade peel, it is important to consider various factors. In your initial consultation, our specialists will evaluate your skin type, your experience with chemical peels, your reactions, and any skin conditions you may have.

Once we complete the assessment, we can guide you in selecting the best peel for your skin to achieve the best results. There is a peel that is effective for you; simply arrange an initial consultation to find out which one it is.

While chemical peels can enhance the tone and texture of your skin, dead skin cells will always resurface, meaning there’s more work to be done. By adding chemical peels to your regular skincare routine, you can help keep your skin looking youthful. Depending on your choice of peel, we can create a treatment plan to schedule these peels for radiant, healthy skin year-round.

As a general rule, stronger chemical peels often result in more peeling of the skin. However, this peeling is not a painful experience; it is simply needed to achieve beautiful skin after the procedure. Results can differ among patients, and not everyone will experience peeling after this treatment. When you come in for your initial consultation, we can clarify what you might expect following your treatment.

If you are looking to maintain healthy skin or if you have challenging skin conditions that home treatments haven’t helped, you are likely a good candidate for our medical-grade peels.

During your initial consultation, we will confirm whether you qualify for the treatment and decide on the right peel for you. Safety precautions may prevent some patients, such as pregnant and nursing women, from being eligible for a peel.
