Peels & Resurfacing
Chemical peels & BioRePeel
Peels speed up the shedding of old, dull skin so clearer skin can come through. They are one of the best tools I have for acne marks, uneven tone and rough texture.
Two peels, different jobs
Custom Chemical Peel (about 60 minutes). A blend of AHA and BHA acids picked for you. AHAs work on the surface for brightness and texture; BHA gets into oily pores to clear congestion. I choose the acid and strength based on your skin and goals, so it's effective without overdoing it.
BioRePeel (about 60 minutes). A two-phase peel known for minimal to no downtime. It helps stimulate collagen, refines texture and tone, and reduces the look of acne and acne scarring. It suits all skin types. For the best result, plan a series of four sessions, 10 to 15 days apart; series packages are available.
Both peels are for returning clients. If we haven't met yet, start with a new client facial.
What happens during your visit
Prep
Skin is cleansed and degreased so the peel absorbs evenly.
Apply
The solution goes on in thin layers while I watch how your skin responds. Mild tingling is normal.
Neutralize & soothe
Calming products and SPF finish the treatment and protect fresh skin.
Good to know
Five days before
Stop retinoids, AHA/BHA products and other active ingredients five days before a BioRePeel or chemical peel.
Aftercare
Keep it simple: gentle cleanser, moisturizer and sunscreen only, until your skin has recovered.
Sun protection
Fresh skin burns easily. Wear a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher every day. The American Academy of Dermatology has a helpful guide to choosing one.
What you might see
Some tightness or light flaking for a few days is normal. Please don’t pick at peeling skin.
Do chemical peels help with acne scars?
They help most with flat dark marks and shallow texture. A series of BioRePeel treatments works best for scarring. Deep, pitted scars may need a dermatologist; the AAD explains what peels can and can't do.
Can I get a peel in the summer?
Yes, with daily sunscreen and by avoiding long sun exposure for a week. BioRePeel is a good option all year.
