Chemical peels are a transformative, non-surgical cosmetic procedure designed to rejuvenate the skin's appearance. By applying a specially-formulated chemical solution to the skin, it meticulously removes damaged skin cells, revealing healthier, younger-looking skin beneath. This procedure is a boon for treating a variety of skin concerns including acne scars, sun damage, and uneven skin tone. Chemical peels work on the principle of shedding the old to make way for the new, promoting the growth of fresh, new skin cells.
At Good Skyn Club, we believe in the power of science and nature to deliver transformative skincare results. Whether you're dealing with aged skin or seeking a boost to your overall skin appearance, our team of professionals, including certified dermatologists and cosmetic surgeons, is ready to assist you. A brighter, fresher, and more youthful complexion is only a consultation away. Contact us today to learn more about how chemical peels can rejuvenate your skin.
WHAT ARE
CHEMICAL PEELS?

Chemical peels come in different varieties, each designed to address different skin conditions and to achieve varying levels of skin resurfacing:
Types of
Chemical Peels
1. Light Peels: These use mild acids like alpha-hydroxy acid to gently exfoliate the skin.
They only remove the outermost layer of the skin (epidermis), making them ideal for fine
lines, acne, uneven skin tone, and dryness.
2. Medium Peels: More penetrative than light peels, medium peels use trichloroacetic or
glycolic acid to reach the middle and outer layer of the skin. They are effective for
treating wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven skin color.
3. Deep Peels: These are the most intense type of peel. They use phenol or trichloroacetic
acid to deeply penetrate the middle layer of skin, removing damaged skin cells. Deep
peels are used to treat deeper wrinkles, sun-damage skin, scars, or even precancerous growths.
Each of these chemical peels carries its own set of benefits, and the best type for you will
depend on your specific skin type, concerns, and goals. At Good Skyn Club, we're dedicated to helping you find the perfect treatment to meet your unique skincare needs. Contact us to discuss which type of chemical peel could be your key to healthier, more radiant skin.
1. Application: A dermatologic surgeon or a certified specialist applies the chosen chemical solution to your skin. The type of chemical peel chosen (light, medium, or deep) dictates the solution's ingredients and concentration.
2. Reaction: Once the solution is applied, it begins to react with your skin. This reaction causes the top layers of your skin to dissolve over time, breaking down the bonds between dead skin cells.
3. Peeling: Following the procedure, your skin starts to 'peel', essentially shedding off the outer layer of dead skin cells. This peeling process can last anywhere from three to seven days, depending on the intensity of the peel.
4. Regeneration: After the old, damaged skin cells have peeled away, your skin begins to regenerate, creating a new layer of skin cells. This new skin is typically smoother, less wrinkled, and more even in tone.
5. Maintenance: Post-treatment care is crucial to protect and nurture your skin as it heals and new skin forms. This may include specific skincare products, avoiding sun exposure, and maintaining a consistent skincare routine.
Chemical peels work by harnessing the power of naturally-derived acids to exfoliate and rejuvenate your skin. These acids are applied to the skin in a controlled manner, causing a reaction that prompts the removal of dead and damaged skin cells on the surface.
The Chemical Peel Procedure
Chemical peels come in different varieties, each designed to address different skin conditions and to achieve varying levels of skin resurfacing:
Chemical peels offer a range of benefits for your skin, making them a popular choice for those looking to address specific skin concerns or simply enhance their overall complexion.
The Benefits of Chemical Peels
1. Improved Skin Texture: Chemical peels help remove the outermost layer of dead skin
cells, revealing a layer of fresh, new cells underneath. This results in a smoother skin
texture.
2. Reduced Fine Lines and Wrinkles: By promoting the growth of new skin and boosting
collagen production, chemical peels can effectively reduce the appearance of fine lines
and wrinkles.
3. Treat Acne and Reduce Scarring: Certain types of chemical peels, particularly those
using salicylic acid, can help treat acne by unclogging pores and reducing inflammation.
They can also help reduce post-acne scarring.
4. Reduce Hyperpigmentation and Sun Damage: Chemical peels can help improve the
appearance of age spots, discoloration, and sun-damaged skin by promoting even skin
tone and reducing pigmentation.
5. Increased Effectiveness of Skincare Products: By removing the top layer of dead skin
cells, chemical peels can enhance your skin's ability to absorb skincare products,
making them more effective.
6. Non-Surgical Approach: Chemical peels are a non-invasive procedure for addressing
skin concerns that traditionally might have required more invasive measures like plastic
surgery.
7. Customizable Treatment: With different types of peels available, treatment can be
customized to fit different skin types and address specific skin concerns.
Remember, the benefits of chemical peels are most evident when performed as part of a
consistent skincare regimen. Contact Good Skyn Club today to discuss how chemical peels can be incorporated into your skincare routine for optimal results.
Recovering from a chemical peel and properly caring for your skin post-treatment are crucial
aspects of the process. Here's what to expect:
Recovery and After Care
1. Immediately After Treatment: Right after a chemical peel, your skin may be red and
sensitive. This is normal and should subside within a few hours for light peels and may
take up to 14 days for medium and deep peels.
2. Peeling: Depending on the type of peel, you may experience peeling or flaking skin for a
few days to a couple of weeks post-treatment. It's important to allow the skin to naturally
peel and not pick or peel the skin off manually as this can lead to scarring.
3. Skincare Regimen: Post-procedure, it's essential to keep the skin moisturized and
protected from the sun. A broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF should be worn
daily, even if not directly exposed to sunlight, as skin is particularly susceptible to sun
damage after a peel.
4. Post-Peel Products: Your dermatologic surgeon or aesthetician may suggest specific
skincare products to use after your peel to aid in recovery and enhance results, such as
gentle cleansers, hydrating serums, and mineral sunscreens.
5. Follow-up Appointments: Depending on the depth of the peel, follow-up appointments
may be necessary to monitor the healing process. It's crucial to attend these to ensure
your skin is healing properly.
Remember, the recovery process and aftercare will vary depending on the type of chemical peel you have, your skin type, and individual healing response. At Good Skyn Club, we will provide a detailed aftercare plan tailored to your skin and treatment to ensure optimal healing and results.
