What are Chemical Peels?
Exfoliation is one of the best things you can do for your skin – however, exfoliating at home with scrubs or over-the-counter products can only do so much. In fact, some exfoliation methods can even be harmful to your skin. Chemical peels are a professional-grade treatment that can deeply exfoliate the skin and uncover healthy new skin cells, getting rid of dead or damaged ones – and boost the production of youthful new collagen. Chemical peels utilize concentrated forms of the active ingredients you might use at home, such as glycolic or salicylic acid. When performed by a knowledgeable provider, you can target concerns at a specific depth with a chemical solution hand-picked for your skin. At AnneMarie Aesthetics, we offer personalized chemical peels to help refresh your skin and uncover a naturally radiant glow.
Am I A Good Candidate for Chemical Peels?
If your skin isn’t what you want it to be, chemical peels are an excellent option. They can be part of your regular skincare regimen or they can target more specific concerns, depending on their depth. Concerns that can be addressed by chemical peels include:
- Acne and oily skin
- Visible pores
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Texture
- Dryness
- Dull or uneven skin tone
- Pigmentation and sun damage
Chemical peels are categorized by their depth – light chemical peels address only the surface of the skin and are a great way to refresh and revitalize your look. Deeper chemical peels can reverse more significant concerns such as deep-set lines and wrinkles. As a general rule, deeper chemical peels require dedicated downtime and cause significant peeling whereas lighter peels cause only light peeling and won’t interfere with your schedule. During a consultation, our team will help you select the right depth for your needs and preferences.
Your Personalized Chemical Peel Treatment
Our expert team will assess your skin goals and help you put together a personalized chemical peel package. At AnneMarie Aesthetics, you can find a personalized experience – not a one-size-fits-all approach. Once we’ve put together a treatment approach integrating our best options, we’ll begin by washing and preparing your skin. Chemical peels can take anywhere from 30-60 minutes depending on the depth of the peel and many other factors. Light peels are usually tolerable without anesthetic, but deeper peels may require a topical numbing agent. Once you’re ready, the chemical solution is gently brushed over the skin and left for a specific amount of time. Then, the solution is neutralized. Afterward, moisturizer and sunscreen will be applied and you can go about the rest of your day.

What to Pair With Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are a great anti-aging option that can be paired with a variety of other options. Injectables like Botox can help further treat fine lines and wrinkles while treatments like SkinVive or AquaGold can give your skin an extra moisturizing boost. We’ll help you explore the best ways to more fully rejuvenate your skin during a consultation.
What to Expect from Chemical Peels
Aftercare is key with chemical peels. The depth of your peel will determine when you begin peeling and for how long. Generally, you can expect some redness and sensitivity for the first few days, similar to sunburn. Peeling will begin within a few days and can last for around one week. It’s extremely important not to pick, peel, or scrub your skin – instead, keep it covered with a thick moisturizer and even a protectant such as Vaseline or Aquaphor. Sunscreen is also essential since your skin will be especially sensitive to sun damage. After you’ve finished peeling, your skin will be noticeably brighter, smoother, and younger-looking. We recommend chemical peels monthly to maintain your results and thoroughly treat your concerns – however, this may be longer if you opt for deeper peels.
