Skincare & Anti-Aging Solutions: Chemical Peels

Depending on their type and concentration, chemical peels are applied to the skin and left in place for a certain amount of time. The peel aims to rejuvenate the skin by exfoliating and removing the outermost damaged layer of skin cells, revealing younger, more beautiful-looking skin underneath.

• remove blackheads & whiteheads
• improve the texture of your skin
• correct sun damage or hyperpigmentation (dark patches caused by the sun)
• decreases the appearance of acne scars or facial blemishes

However, chemical peels may not be ideal for those with extremely sensitive skin, eczema, psoriasis, or darker skin tones.

• Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed. Then, a chemical peel solution will be applied and left in place for a designated time. During this, you may experience a tingling sensation.
• The peel will then either self-neutralize or be neutralized with water or a buffering solution. This creates a safe, controlled skin injury that allows the skin to repair itself.
• Within a few days, the top layer of skin will start to peel off and reveal new skin underneath.

Many different types of chemical peels vary in formulas, strengths, and application methods.

TCA Peels use trichloroacetic acid to remove dead skin cells and stimulate the production of new skin cells to improve your skin's appearance. TCA peels are medium peels, meaning they will penetrate and dissolve the epidermis to reveal a newer layer of skin underneath. With as little as a single peel, you will notice a significant decrease in pigmentation and discoloration. However, multiple sessions may be required in some cases. TCA peels can be used on the face, back, chest, neck, shoulders, or upper arms.

Lactic acid peels will remove dead skin cells and stimulate the production of new skin cells. Lactic acid is a milder form of AHA (alpha-hydroxy acid) which works by gently exfoliating your skin to reveal a newer layer.

Similar to TCA peels, lactic acid peels can be used to treat dark spots and hyperpigmentation. Lactic acid peels will also help minimize the appearance of enlarged pores and fine lines and treat acne-prone skin by drying out active lesions. Love To Live's lactic acid peels is a milder way of getting results similar to TCA and glycolic acid peels.

These peels are safe for those with sensitive skin and those who cannot tolerate TCA or glycolic acid, as well as for getting rid of sun damage, which is typically more resilient to other chemical solutions.

Glycolic acid peels are another type of AHA peel that exfoliates the outer and middle layers of skin. In addition to removing dead skin cells, glycolic acid can also loosen and lift excess oil and suppress melanin production. Glycolic acid peels can treat a range of skin conditions such as acne and acne scars, ingrown hairs and scarring, stretch marks, dark spots, melasma, and photoaging.

After a superficial peel, you can expect to experience some redness lasting about 3-5 days. In most cases, this is similar to a mild sunburn. After a medium peel, however, you may also experience additional redness, swelling, peeling, or even blistering for about 1-2 weeks after your peel procedure.

In both cases, you will need to care for your skin by avoiding or limiting your sun exposure and wearing sunscreen anytime your skin is exposed to sunlight. Your skin care specialist at Love To Live may also provide you with a skin care regimen to follow after having a chemical peel.

Depending on your treatment goals, chemical peels can become part of your skincare routine. Superficial peels can safely be completed monthly to maintain your skin, while medium peels can be done 3-6 times a year.
