Chemical Peel Types

What Is a Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel is an exfoliation technique designed to penetrate below the surface of the skin in order to regenerate skin on the face, neck or hands. Exfoliation occurs using a chemical that causes layers of skin to blister and eventually peel off. The skin that remains is smoother, softer and healthier. Many people choose to receive a chemical peel because of how quickly it can be performed as well as its ability to effectively reduce many skin conditions.

A chemical peel can typically treat:

  • Sun damage and age spots
  • Mild to moderate acne scarring
  • Lines and wrinkles around the eyes and mouth
  • The appearance of freckles

Many chemical peels exist that penetrate the skin at varying levels of intensity. Usually, those who have never received a chemical peel will begin the process with a superficial peel using mild acid. Once the skin adjusts to the acidic qualities of the peel and heals fully, stronger peels can be used to treat the skin. Chemical peels work best for those who have mild to moderate skin conditions and will be least effective on individuals with heavy bulges or severe wrinkles.

As we age, dead skin cells do not slough off as easily as when we are younger, causing the skin to appear dull. Light, medium and deep chemical peels are a popular nonsurgical procedure used to peel away the skin’s top layer to improve sun-damaged, unevenly pigmented and wrinkled skin. Improving the evenness of color and texture in your skin creates a youthful look and restores a healthy, luminous and radiant appearance.

Latic – The gentler peel of the pack that works just as effectively to give your skin a major glow-up even on its dullest day. It lightly exfoliates by dissolving dead skin cells and has tons of skin benefits: the power to clear out toxins, dead cells, debris, and boost collagen production. Over time it can reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and even out skin tone. It also has amazing hydrating benefits and will leave your skin feeling cushion-soft and moisturized

Glycolic – Glycolic acid is the holy grail for exfoliation, if you are looking to simply brighten skin and get rid of the dullness that comes with age and skin that collects dead skin cells, a glycolic peel is likely your best bet. Glycolic peels are made from fruit acids (but can also be man-made) and they penetrate only the top layer of skin, sloughing off dead skin cells.

Salicylic – Salicylic acid peels are a great for people who struggle with breakouts. These peels not only soothe pimple-prone skin but help keep breakouts at bay and help remove acne scars.

Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA) – A medium to deep penetrating peel with benefits formulated especially for those with mature skin problems, such as sun damage, fine lines and hyper pigmentation. This peel can be layered to have a deeper penetrating effect and an aggressive exfoliation.
