How Chemical Exfoliation Works

Chemical peels treat skin that appears dull, flaky, and textured due to a buildup of dead skin cells. Providing your skin with a professional chemical peel in Southlake is one of the best ways to revive its appearance.

To achieve a more youthful and vibrant complexion, it is important to regularly exfoliate and allow your skin to renew itself. Chemical peels in Southlake remove dead skin cells, resulting in rejuvenated and beautiful skin

Benefits of Chemical Peels

• Smoother Skin: If you are struggling with skin texture concerns, schedule a chemical peel which can even out skin texture and smooth fine lines and wrinkles.
• Better Product Application: Both skincare and makeup products often have improved absorption into your skin after you have experienced a chemical peel.
• Younger Look: Wrinkles and fine lines are also treatable with a series of peels, depending on their severity. Feel and look radiant again with our chemical peels.

How it Works

Factors to Consider When Getting a Chemical Peel

Frequency

The frequency of chemical peels depends on your skin type, your skin goals, and the type of peel utilized.

Superficial Peels

They’re best for treating mild acne, dull skin, fine lines, and uneven texture.

Medium Peels

These are best for treating hyperpigmentation, acne scars, deeper wrinkles, and sun-damaged skin.

Comfort During Treatment

Medium peels may cause more discomfort than superficial peels, but you should never feel acute pain. Our team will talk with you before any treatment so that you know exactly what to expect.

Recovery Timeline

Depending on what peel is recommended for you and your skin type, healing time will vary. Your provider will discuss healing times with you.

• Abstain from alcohol, tobacco products, and excessive caffeine for at least 24 hours before your appointment.
