Who is the right candidate?

How does it work?

Chemical peels with Skinceuticals are suitable for a wide range of skin types and concerns. They are ideal for those looking to address issues such as fine lines, mild acne scars and acne, uneven skin tone, and sun damage. Our experienced professionals will assess your skin and customize the treatment to meet your specific needs and goals.

Chemical peels work by applying a customized solution to the skin's surface. This solution typically contains mild acids like alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta hydroxy acids (BHAs). These acids exfoliate the top layer of the skin, promoting the shedding of dead skin cells. This process encourages the growth of new, healthier skin cells and stimulates collagen production, resulting in improved skin tone and texture.

What are the side effects?

How many number of treatments?

Chemical peels generally have minimal downtime. You may experience temporary redness, mild peeling, or flaking of the skin following the treatment. These side effects are part of the natural exfoliation process and are usually short-lived. Our team at The Skin Instructor will provide guidance on post-peel care to ensure a comfortable and effective recovery.

The number of sessions needed varies based on the individual's skin condition and desired results. In many cases, a series of treatments, typically performed at intervals of 2-4 weeks, is recommended to achieve the best outcome. These peels can be incorporated into your skincare routine as a periodic, refreshing treatment.
