Benefits of Chemical Peels Q&A

One of the primary improvements a chemical peel provides is enhanced skin texture and appearance. By removing the outermost layers of damaged skin, a chemical peel can reveal smoother, brighter, and more evenly toned skin. This process allows our expertly-crafted skincare products to penetrate more deeply, enhancing their effectiveness.

Many of our clients choose chemical peels for their ability to diminish fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots. The treatment works to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, which are proteins responsible for maintaining skin’s firmness and elasticity. This results in a more youthful, radiant, and tight appearance with a reduction in many of the visible signs of aging.

Chemical peels are also effective in treating acne and reducing the appearance of acne scars. The acids in the peel penetrate the skin, targeting bacteria and dead skin cells that are responsible for contributing to acne.

In addition to treating discoloration, chemical peels promote an even skin tone through the acceleration of the skin’s natural exfoliation process. This leads to healthier, glowing skin as it allows your skin to better absorb nutrients and increases cell turnover.

Certain chemical peels offered can be beneficial for conditions such as rosacea and psoriasis. By reducing inflammation and exfoliating excess skin, these peels can alleviate symptoms and help improve skin health.

An improved skin appearance can boost self-esteem and confidence, positively impacting overall well-being. However, while chemical peels offer many benefits, they may not be suitable for everyone. Potential risks should be discussed with our experienced medical professionals.

Chemical peels are ideal for adults over the age of 18 who understand that skin rejuvenation is a process and not an overnight transformation.

Clients should be in good health without a history of abnormal skin scarring, keloids, or certain types of dermatitis, and be free from any currently active skin infections.

While chemical peels are most effective on fair-skinned individuals, we encourage individuals with darker skin to consult with our team as we can discuss potential side effects and customize a treatment plan.

If you have active acne, eczema, or rosacea, let’s discuss whether a chemical peel is suitable for you. We’ve also found that our peels can help clients with certain types of acne or those wishing to enhance their skin’s overall appearance.

We ask our clients to follow our post-care instructions to ensure proper healing and minimize side effects, such as avoiding sun exposure and being careful to use gentle skincare products. Individuals should refrain from smoking as it can hinder the healing process. We also advise stopping any strong topical or oral acne medication at least two weeks prior to the procedure.

Depending on your skin type and condition, we can offer a range of chemical peels from superficial to deep peels, each designed to reveal a more vibrant, healthier-looking you.

Superficial peels are perfect for those looking for a quick rejuvenation. Through the removal of the outermost layer of your skin, this treatment can bring noticeable changes within a week. However, if your skin condition calls for a more intensive approach, our medium peels penetrate both the epidermis and the upper part of the dermis. The healing process is slightly longer, but the results include better skin color, texture, and tone.

For the most dramatic, long-lasting results, our deep peels target the deepest layers of your skin. While this procedure requires a more extended healing period, the improvements in deep wrinkles, sun damage, and pre-cancerous growths are unmatched.

At Contour Medical Spa, we tailor each chemical peel to your specific skin type, whether you have sensitive, dry, oily, or thicker skin. We understand that individuals with lighter skin tones may see results quicker than those with darker tones, and we adjust our approach accordingly. Regardless of your skin type or color, we aim to deliver maximum results from our chemical peels.

The price can fluctuate according to several elements such as the type of peel used, the severity of your skin issues, the size of the area being treated, the location of our treatment facility, and the professional administering the treatment.

We offer different types of peels, including light or superficial peels, which are typically the most affordable, costing around $100 to $300 per session. For more intensive treatment, we also have medium peels that can cost anywhere from $200 to $900 per session. The most intensive type of chemical peel we offer is a deep peel, which can cost up to $1,500 or more per session.

The severity of your skin issues can also affect the cost, as more severe problems often require more intensive treatments, which can be more costly. Furthermore, depending on the condition of your skin, you may need multiple sessions to achieve the desired results, increasing the total cost.

Remember, these prices are averages and actual costs can vary. Since chemical peels are considered a cosmetic procedure, they are typically not covered by insurance.
