What Is a Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel is a nonsurgical aesthetic procedure that aims to improve the appearance and texture of the skin. During the procedure, a chemical solution is applied to remove the top layers of the skin. Therefore, it encourages cell turnover and reveals the smoother, fresher skin underneath. Chemical peels can be used to treat almost anything, from fine lines and acne scars to hyperpigmentation or sun damage. The goal of a chemical peel is usually to achieve a more radiant and even-toned complexion.

Chemical peels are categorized into light, medium, and deep, depending on the depth required for effective skin exfoliation. They may have salicylic acid, lactic acid, or glycolic acid, depending on the type of peel. Light peels will serve very slight imperfections and have low downtime, while dramatic effects on deeper folds or discoloration may be provided by a medium or deep peel. It is a treatment that can be adapted to any skin type and any patient’s needs.

Types of Chemical Peels

At Regeneris Med Spa and Cosmetic Surgery, we offer several types of chemical peels, depending on the patient’s individual skin type and concerns. These peels will vary in depth, ingredients, and concern they treat:

Light Chemical Peel

A light chemical peel, also known as a superficial peel, is a procedure using mild acids, such as alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), to exfoliate the top skin layer very gently. This is ideal for lessening minor imperfections that include dullness, mottled skin tone, and mild acne. Since this treatment requires little to no downtime, it is often referred to as a “lunchtime peel.” The light peel is perfect for patients seeking subtle rejuvenation and is safe for most skin types.

Medium Chemical Peel

The medium peel reaches deeper into the skin with solutions such as trichloroacetic acid. This kind of peel serves well in the treatment of more pronounced concerns, including wrinkles, acne scars, and moderate discoloration. Though recovery time is longer than in light peels, results are more dramatic, with smoother, more even-toned skin emerging after healing. This peel is best suited for patients seeking significant improvement in skin texture and tone.

Deep Chemical Peel

A deep chemical peel involves the use of strong acids, such as phenol, targeting severe skin concerns like deep wrinkles, pronounced scars, and extensive sun damage. It removes multiple layers of damaged skin to reveal a more youthful, rejuvenated appearance. Because it is so intense, a deep peel requires a longer recovery period and may not be suitable for all skin tones. It is ideal for patients seeking transformative results and is performed by highly trained professionals.

Chemical Peel Procedure

At your initial consultation, our talented professionals at Regeneris Med Spa and Cosmetic Surgery complete an advanced skin analysis. Our doctor analyzes the patient’s history, skin concerns, and the results desired from the procedure. This way, we can develop the appropriate treatment plan using either a light, medium or deep chemical peel. Photographs may be taken to document the pre- and post-skin condition.
The patient’s skin sensitivity test is taken as part of the next step to rule out adverse reactions using the selected solution. To avoid interfering with the outcomes of the treatment, patients may be told to avoid certain medicines or beauty care products. Under specific circumstances, some medical states may raise contraindications to the procedure, especially pregnancy and open wounds or active infections.
  • Preparation and Cleansing: The patient’s skin is thoroughly cleaned to get rid of dirt on the day when the procedure is done. To avoid irritation, some protective creams like petroleum jelly are applied over the eyes and lips.

  • Application of the Peel: Then, the chosen chemical solution is applied to the skin cautiously using a brush, cotton pad, or applicator. As a result of skin exfoliation, patients experience a slight tingling or warming sensation. This stage takes different amounts of time depending on the peel type used.

  • Neutralization and Removal: In most cases, the peel solution is deactivated and wiped off gently from the surface after some time. If it is a deep peel, there might be a need for additional post-procedure care, like the application of a soothing ointment.

Recovery After a
Chemical Peel

The time taken to recover from a chemical peel is dependent on the depth of the peel applied. We make sure that we give each individual an elaborate plan of what they need to do after treatment. So that they can recover well and have the best results.
Light Chemical Peel Recovery
For light chemical peel, patients recover fast with little effect, such as mild redness and gentle peeling comparable to a sunburn. In most cases, this effect will be visible within a period of three to seven days. Nevertheless, patients should take caution about exposure to too much sunlight. They should apply mild moisturizer as well as sunscreen on their skin before they can return back to their normal daily routines.
The healing period for a medium-depth peel is a bit extended, usually between seven and fourteen days. During this time,patients will have erythema, edema, and desquamation due to epidermal renewal. The post-treatment plan given by our staff must be followed. This involves the application of certain creams for skin comfort that prevent pulling off the skin around the eyes. It may be necessary for patients to stay out of the sun and take it easy for a while when they get home.
It takes a longer time to recover fully from a deep chemical peel, around 2-4 weeks or even more. The patients can have a lot of redness, swelling, and peeling for this reason. Sometimes, the treated area may need immediate postoperative bandaging. To ensure proper healing, one must follow post-treatment guidelines such as applying special gels, staying out of direct sunlight, and going for check-up visits.
  • Hydration: Keeping the skin moisturized is essential during the healing process.
  • Sun Protection: Use a high-SPF sunscreen to protect new skin from UV damage.
  • Avoid Harsh Products: Refrain from using exfoliants or active ingredients like retinoids until cleared by your provider.

Enhanced Skin Glow

A chemical peel removes damaged skin cells to reveal fresh, healthy skin underneath. The patient’s skin tone will lighten up and become more radiant. This treatment increases natural cell turnover and gives a glowing appearance that looks youthful and fresh.
The procedure can reduce fine lines and wrinkles by enhancing collagen production and elastic material, hence making skin smooth and young-looking. This phenomenon is clearly viewed in such areas as the forehead, around the eyes, and near the mouth.
Chemical peels help improve uneven skin texture, such as rough patches, scars, or acne. It smoothes the surface of the skin and leaves it soft and velvety. So, makeup and other skincare products apply more easily.
These peels remove the layer of skin that is basically damaged due to sunspots, age spots, or other kinds ofhyperpigmentation. This gradually makes the skin even, improving discoloration and giving a bright complexion.
Chemical peels regulate oil production and clean the pores for acne-prone skin. They minimize breakouts and reduce their recurrences, along with alleviating acne scarring and other blemishes like freckles or liver spots.

Cost of a Chemical Peel in Boston

The average cost of a chemical peel in Boston, MA, ranges from $150 to $3,000, depending on the depth and type of peel performed. This cost usually takes care of the doctor’s charges, buying the chemical used, and any other products needed. A number of variables may affect the end cost. The first one is the type of peel. Light chemical peels cost the least amount, while the medium and deep ones are more expensive since they are harder to perform and require more aggressive components. The second one is additional treatments. Adding other treatments like microneedling or injectable therapies to the chemical peel may raise the overall cost.
