Chemical Peels

Improve dull fatigued skin, pregnancy mask (melasma), pore size, acne scars and sun damage with alpha or beta peels. Chemical Peels increase cell renewal to keep skin looking young and fresh.

Helpful For:

Chemical peels improve the appearance of fine lines, age spots, sun damage, pregnancy mask (melasma), mild discoloration, persistent acne and dull fatigued skin by dissolving skins intercellular matrix, and increasing cell turnover which results in a fresher younger looking complexion.

Benefits:

A quick pick-me-up for a variety of skin conditions.

What to Expect:

• A Skinscan analysis and consultation with a Skin Specialist to determine if a Chemical Peel treatment is right for you. Skinscans are taken throughout the treatment regimen to visually illustrate and track the improvement of skin.
• A light peel solution is applied to the skin consisting of Alpha & Beta Hydroxyl acids, Rescorcinol, Panthenol, Saponins and Retinoic Acid in a .3% compound to exfoliate and regenerate skin.
• A mild stinging sensation may be present during the treatment.
• Results are cumulative and will diminish without regular in-spa professional peels and at home maintenance.
• A series of three to six are typically recommended, spaced no more than two to three weeks apart.
• Lasers, BOTOX® Cosmetic, and Photodynamic Therapy boosters are suggested for long term meaningful results.
• Regular maintenance and at-home care is required to maintain results.

Things to Consider:

• Virtually no downtime.
• Pink discoloration and post-treatment flaking is to be expected; this is a temporary condition that resolves in a few days.
• Sun block is a must to due to increased sun sensitivity.

What You Need to Know:

What chemicals are present in Spa 35's professional peel?

• Lactic (Alpha-Hydroxy acid): Employed to treat such conditions as photodamage, hyperpigmentation, reduction of fine lines and superficial wrinkles, a lightening of surface pigmentation, and softer, supple skin with improved hydration.
• Resorcinol: Removes the top, surface layer of the stratum corneum and is used particularly in cases of acne.
• Salicylic (Beta-Hydroxy acid): An aggressive surface skin exfoliant. Reduces sebaceous follicle blockage, has antimicrobial action, excellent for the treatment of acne.
• Panthenol (Vitamin B-5): Stimulates cellular proliferation and aid in tissue repair.
• Saponins: Glycoside compounds. The properties function as a "natural antibiotic" for fungal infections, and to combat microbes and viruses.
• Retinoic Acid .3% compounded: Available exclusively through laser centers and physician offices.
• The pH of the peel is 2.5.

What is the difference between Chemical Peels and Microdermabrasion treatments?

Increasing cell turnover and sloughing off dead skin cells results in a younger healthier complexion and is a benefit of both treatments. Microdermabrasion treatments physically remove dead skin cells for a gentle exfoliation. Chemical peels dissolve the intercellular matrix that prevents newer, fresher skin cells from rising to surface. While both treatments offer similar results, the mild stinging, redness and post treatment flaking associated with chemical peels may not be advantageous for some.
