A chemical peel is a professional skin treatment designed to improve your skin’s texture, tone, and overall appearance. During the treatment, a specialized solution containing exfoliating acids (such as glycolic, salicylic, or lactic acid) is applied to the skin. This solution gently removes the outer layer of dead, damaged skin cells to reveal fresher, healthier skin beneath.

Peels range from light to deep, with lighter peels requiring minimal downtime and deeper peels offering more dramatic results. At Chae Fox MedSpa, our skilled providers customize each peel to suit your skin type and goals, ensuring safe and effective results.

Chemical peels are highly effective for addressing a variety of skin concerns by exfoliating damaged layers and stimulating new cell growth. They can improve:

• Fine lines and wrinkles by encouraging collagen production for smoother, firmer skin.
• Acne and acne scars by clearing clogged pores, reducing inflammation, and promoting healing.
• Hyperpigmentation and sun damage by fading dark spots, melasma, and uneven skin tone.
• Rough texture and dullness by revealing brighter, more radiant skin.
• Enlarged pores by refining skin texture and improving overall clarity.

At Chae Fox MedSpa, we customize each chemical peel to target your specific concerns, ensuring safe and effective results tailored to your skin’s needs.

Choosing the right chemical peel depends on your skin type, concerns, and desired results. At Chae Fox MedSpa, our experienced providers begin with a personalized consultation to assess your skin and recommend the most effective peel for your needs.

If you’re unsure which peel is best for you, our specialists will customize a treatment plan that aligns with your skin’s needs and your goals.

Proper aftercare is essential to ensure your skin heals beautifully and your results last. After a chemical peel, follow these guidelines:

• Keep Your Skin Hydrated: Use a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer to soothe and protect your skin. Hydration helps reduce dryness and flaking during the healing process.
• Avoid Sun Exposure: Your skin will be more sensitive to UV rays, so apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher daily and limit direct sun exposure. Wearing a hat and seeking shade can further protect your skin.
• Skip Harsh Products: For at least 5 to 7 days, avoid retinol, exfoliants, and strong active ingredients. Stick to gentle cleansers and soothing skincare products recommended by your provider.
• Don’t Pick or Peel: Flaking or mild peeling is normal. Avoid picking or pulling at dry skin, as this can cause irritation or scarring.
• Avoid Heat and Sweating: For the first 24 to 48 hours, skip hot showers, saunas, and intense workouts to prevent irritation.
• Follow Your Aesthetician’s Instructions: Every peel is different. Our experts at Chae Fox MedSpa will provide customized aftercare instructions to help you achieve the best results.

With proper care, your skin will heal smoother, brighter, and more radiant.
