Chemical Peels For Glowing Skin SALE $100 OFF Package deals.

A spotless, line-less, flawless complexion is lying just beneath the surface of your skin—and a classic treatment remains the fastest way there.

Even though the chemical peel has been eclipsed in the early 2000s by new skin-resurfacing lasers, these classic treatments (like, ancient-Egypt classic) are back on top in medical Spa’s and dermatology offices. More people are getting them now than in 1997 (when peels were the number-one cosmetic procedure in the country), according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. Experts say that “Good old chemical peels can actually deliver certain skin benefits—like reversing melasma and breakouts—better than high-tech devices,”. By casting off dull surface cells, they improve fine lines, acne, discoloration, and more. And they do it for all skin types and colors—usually for a fraction of the cost of flashier (literally) options.

Laser devices are expensive, which means laser treatments are expensive. A superficial fractional-laser treatment can run up to $1,000 a session—and you’ll probably need several. A medium-depth chemical peel may cost less than half of that and will sometimes give more impressive results in a single treatment.

As with most old-is-new-again ideas, today’s peels aren’t just total retreads. Older TCA and high concentration glycolic chemical peels got really popular in the ’90s, they “hurt like a mother“ and left skin raw. But acid formulas have been refined, and so have our approaches to using them. The goal now isn’t so much to cause visible peeling as it is to infuse the skin with ingredients that diminish lines, build collagen, and improve tone, as well as treat acne” Still not sold? Here are five more reasons to book a peel—and help your skin make a radical comeback.

  1. Peels can make your skin—and skin-care products—work better: In minutes, acids lift away dead cells and trigger a lovely chain reaction: As that topmost layer is shed, signals are sent to the living cells below to multiply and move up, to increase collagen production, to make more hyaluronic acid—to act younger. A thorough sloughing also offers one very immediate upshot: smoother skin that’s both more radiant and more receptive. Your skin-care products perform better after a peel because there are no dead cells impeding their penetration.
  2. 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). It is now known that using low percentages of multiple acids gives a better outcome with less irritation than a single acid at a higher strength. Our peels utilize a variety of acids like trichloroacetic acid (TCA), glycolic acids, salicylic acids and lactic acid to rev up collagen synthesis deep down and dissolve the drab skin on top. But, we can also customize a peel to address very specific concerns. For tenacious brown spots, a peel can contain brightening vitamin C or a smidgen of bleaching hydroquinone for an extra boost. And when treating those same spots on sensitive skin, we can offset the potent lighteners with soothing polyphenols and green tea extracts.
  3. 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. To improve pitted acne scars, individual divots can be targeted with a high percentage of TCA before applying a weaker acid to the rest of the face to even things out. Treating acne scars with peels can also skirt this surprising laser pitfall: Roughly 30 percent chance of an acne eruption following Fraxel laser treatment. It’s really disheartening when someone gets a flare-up of the very thing that left them with scars in the first place.”
  4. Nothing controls melasma better: There isn’t a permanent cure for the recurring sun-triggered dark patches brought on by hormonal surges (like those caused by pregnancy and the Pill), but chemical peels (paired with at-home bleaching creams, high-SPF sunscreen, and strict sun avoidance) offer the best fighting chance. Lasers may make lofty claims, yet they’re essentially trying to treat a light- and heat-sensitive condition with light and heat. Even when a laser does eviscerate splotches initially, pigment often reappears weeks later, making lasers seem like a major investment for a short-term reprieve.
  5. A peel will let you (maybe) toss your under-eye concealer: We don’t even like opening our eyes in the pool, so we’ll be the first to admit that acid near our eyeballs sounds dicey. But some peels work beautifully and safely on the hereditary dark circles created by piled-up pigment. They credit the form of the acid—3.75 percent TCA and 15 percent lactic acid in a non-drippy gel carefully dispensed to drive the acid in deep, bypassing the epidermis to lessen irritation. A series of treatments may be needed, but some people see a profound improvement after just one.
