Reveal smoother, brighter skin with chemical peels that target fine lines, acne, dullness, and uneven tone. At Invigue Medical Aesthetics and Wellness, we customize each peel to your skin’s needs for safe, effective, and beautifully refreshed results.
Refresh Your Complexion With Gentle Renewal
Chemical peels are skin rejuvenation treatments that use exfoliating solutions to gently remove the outermost layers of damaged or dull skin. At Invigue, we offer medical-grade peels formulated with acids like AHA and BHA to reveal a smoother, clearer, and more radiant complexion underneath. These treatments can help improve the appearance of fine lines, acne, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin texture. By stimulating cell turnover and promoting skin renewal, chemical peels help restore your skin’s natural glow and health.
Chemical Peels Treat:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne and acne scars
- Sun damage and age spots
- Dull or uneven skin tone
- Rough or dry skin texture
- Melasma and other pigmentation issues
- Enlarged pores
- Mild skin laxity
How Do Chemical Peels Work?
Chemical peels work by applying a specialized acid solution to the skin, which breaks down the bonds between dead skin cells on the surface. This exfoliation process allows the outer layer of damaged skin to shed, revealing fresh, healthier skin underneath.
The treatment also stimulates cell turnover and can trigger collagen production, which improves skin firmness and elasticity over time. Depending on the strength of the peel, you can target various concerns, such as acne, pigmentation, and fine lines, with minimal to moderate downtime.
Benefits of Chemical Peels:
- Improve skin texture and tone
- Reduce fine lines and wrinkles
- Minimize acne and acne scarring
- Brighten dull, uneven skin
- Fade dark spots and pigmentation
- Stimulate cell turnover for fresher skin
- Enhance the effectiveness of skincare products
- Minimal to moderate downtime depending on peel depth
Your Chemical Peel Experience
During your chemical peel at Invigue, your provider will begin by thoroughly cleansing your skin. A specially selected solution containing acids such as AHA or BHA is then carefully applied to the treatment area. You may feel a mild tingling or warming sensation as the solution works to exfoliate the skin. The peel is left on for a set period and then neutralized or removed, depending on the type and depth of the peel chosen for your skin. After your treatment, you may notice some redness, tightness, or light peeling over the next few days. It’s important to follow the aftercare instructions provided, including avoiding sun exposure and using gentle, hydrating skincare products. With each peel, you’ll notice clearer, smoother, and more radiant skin. A series of treatments may be recommended for optimal results.
Chemical Peel FAQs
How Do I Know Which Chemical Peel is Right for Me?
At Invigue, your provider will evaluate your skin type, tone, and concerns during a consultation. Whether you’re treating acne, fine lines, pigmentation, or uneven texture, we’ll recommend the best peel (light, medium, or deep) to match your goals and lifestyle. We also consider your sensitivity level and downtime preferences to ensure a safe and effective treatment.
Are Chemical Peels Safe for Sensitive Skin?
Yes, we offer gentle formulations for sensitive skin. Light peels can provide excellent results with minimal irritation. During your consultation, we’ll assess your skin’s tolerance and choose a peel that enhances your skin without compromising its barrier.
How Often Should I Get a Chemical Peel?
Frequency depends on the strength of the peel and your individual skin goals. Light peels can be performed every 4-6 weeks, while medium peels may be spaced 6-12 weeks apart. We’ll develop a custom treatment schedule to ensure you get the best results safely.
What Should I Avoid Before and After a Chemical Peel?
Before your peel, avoid retinoids, exfoliants, or aggressive skincare for at least 3-5 days. After your peel, avoid sun exposure, scrubbing, and any products containing alcohol, acids, or retinol for several days. Always follow our aftercare instructions to protect your skin.
Will My Skin Peel After the Treatment?
Peeling varies based on the depth of the chemical peel. Light peels may cause light flaking, while medium-depth peels may result in more noticeable shedding over several days. This is a normal part of the exfoliation process, and you should never pick or pull at peeling skin.
Can I Wear Makeup After a Chemical Peel?
It’s best to avoid makeup for at least 24-48 hours after a peel to let your skin heal. Once any redness or sensitivity subsides, you can resume makeup application. Always apply a broad-spectrum SPF before sun exposure, whether you wear makeup or not.
