Chemical Peels

What are Chemical Peels

At Aesthetic Design, Chemical Peels are transformative skin resurfacing treatments that use medical-grade solutions to exfoliate the outer layers of the skin. This controlled process reveals a smoother, brighter, and more even-toned complexion beneath. We offer a range of peels, from gentle Glycolic Acid to deeper TCA, to effectively target fine lines, sun damage, acne, and uneven texture, all tailored to your skin’s unique needs.

Where can Chemical Peels be used?

Chemical Peels are primarily used on the face, neck, and décolletage to address a wide range of concerns. They can effectively treat sun damage and age spots on the cheeks, fine lines around the eyes and mouth, acne and acne scars on the T-zone, and overall uneven texture and tone. Your provider will customize the peel’s strength and application to safely and effectively target your specific areas of concern.

Our Chemical Peels Treatments

Experience the transformative benefits of skin resurfacing and rejuvenation at Aesthetic Design:

Glycolic Acid

A gentle yet effective alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) peel derived from sugar cane. It exfoliates the surface layer to improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and brighten a dull complexion with minimal downtime.

TCA (Trichloroacetic Acid)

A medium-depth peel that penetrates more deeply to address moderate sun damage, pigmentation, and fine lines. TCA stimulates significant collagen production, resulting in smoother, firmer, and more rejuvenated skin.

Benefits of Chemical Peels

Chemical Peels offer a powerful, non-surgical solution for a more radiant complexion. This highly customizable treatment works to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, fade sun spots and hyperpigmentation, improve skin texture and tone, and minimize the look of acne scars. The result is fresher, younger-looking skin that feels smoother and appears significantly brighter, with many treatments requiring little to no downtime.
