Chemical Peels

Chemical peels act on the skin’s surface layers to remove dull, damaged cells that are then replaced with new, healthy ones. A variety of facial peels can address different skincare concerns. We also consider your level of skin sensitivity when selecting a peel for you, as some peels are stronger than others.

Luminesse Laser uses a variety of medical-grade ingredients, including AHA’s and BHA’s, retinol, antioxidants, plant extracts, vitamins, and peptides. These work together to rejuvenate the skin and address specific skin concerns.

Because peels come in a variety of strengths and ingredients, there is a chemical peel for almost everyone. You should not receive a chemical peel if you have a rash or open blemishes on your face.

A chemical peel is applied to clean skin. Different peels may be left on for different lengths of time, depending on the strength of the peel and the desired results.

With some facial peels, you may feel a tingling sensation where the peel has been applied. After the required amount of time, the peel will be removed to reveal younger-looking, brighter skin.

Results of a chemical peel can last for several weeks. You can have this treatment on a regular basis, typically about once a month, to maintain and even improve your results.

Depending on the type of peel used, your skin may be red and sensitive for a day or two. This may be more noticeable with more intensive treatments. Skin may begin to flake and peel beginning around the third day, which can last for about a week.

Since facial peels are noninvasive, you can resume normal activities after your treatment. You will need to wear sunscreen to protect your sensitive skin and prevent future signs of sun damage.

You can expect healthy, luminous skin that looks even-toned and hydrated. You can expect to see full results when the skin has finished peeling and your new, brighter skin can shine through.

Depending on what skin concerns your peel addresses, you will see a reduction in hyperpigmentation, a decrease in the visibility of fine lines, and fading of acne scarring. Skin looks refreshed and rejuvenated.

To maintain the results of your facial peel, you will need to repeat the treatment approximately once a month. For many, chemical peels become part of their normal skincare routine to help keep their skin looking flawless.
