When we apply the mild chemical peel to your face, it goes to work gently removing skin cells. Your top layer of skin has a barrier of dead and dull skin cells that can dull your complexion. The peel dissolves that layer of dead skin. Afterward, you may see a light peeling of the dead skin cells, revealing brighter and healthier-looking skin beneath. The medium peel does the same thing on a deeper level.
When collagen rebuilds, your skin becomes stronger and smoother. Collagen is the building block of skin. As we age, our production declines and that middle layer weakens in areas forming crevices that the top layer of skin falls into. This creates visible lines and wrinkles. Our skin dispatches collagen to rebuild injured skin.
With chemical peels, the body builds stronger layers of skin from the inside out. When collagen builds up, wrinkles and lines fill in, and their appearance softens.
The same is true of acne scars. The pits left behind from cystic acne fill in as new collagen is produced. The result is a smoother surface and less pronounced scarring. Both our peels are described as very comfortable by our clients. When time is up, we neutralize the peel and wash it off. By reporting side effects, you're providing valuable information about the safety of the product used.

They're longer-lasting and do not usually need to be repeated. What to think about before you have chemical peels If you're thinking about having chemical peels, be clear about why you want them. Choosing a practitioner Having a chemical peel is usually safe if it's done by an experienced and suitably qualified practitioner.
Avoid practitioners who have only completed a short training course. Here are five more reasons to book a peel—and help your skin make a radical comeback. Peels can make your skin—and skin-care products—work better.
A thorough sloughing also offers one very immediate upshot: smoother skin that's both more radiant and more receptive. They're low-risk, and you can go custom. There are chemical peels that are safe to use on every skin color without risk of hyperpigmentation usually a worry with darker complexions. Doctors have plenty of premixed cocktails to choose from, like PCA Skin Sensi Peel, which mixes trichloroacetic acid TCA and lactic acid to rev up collagen synthesis deep down and dissolve the drab skin on top.
But a lot of doctors also cook up their own recipes to address very specific concerns. For tenacious brown spots, Bucay adds a pinch of brightening vitamin C or a smidgen of bleaching hydroquinone to her acids of choice.
And when treating those same spots on sensitive skin, she offsets the potent lighteners with soothing polyphenols. The right peel can end acne and soften the scars that come with it. Salicylic acid peels and Jessner's peels equal parts salicylic acid, lactic acid, and resorcinol, an antiseptic exfoliant dive deep into skin to unclog pores while also skimming the surface to erode blackheads and fade post-pimple marks.
Another advantage of salicylic acid: It lingers in the pores, where it continues to keep them clear over time.
