Frequently Asked Questions
What are chemical peels?
Chemical peels work by exfoliating the surface of the skin to reduce the appearance of imperfections, smooth skin texture, improve radiance, and restore skin health. Chemical peels come in various strengths and acid formulations, ranging from superficial to deeper peels.
Am I a good candidate?
The type of chemical peel used depends on skin condition, skin tone, risk of burns, and the patient’s skincare habits. A consultation with one of our expert medical technicians is recommended to determine the most suitable peel for your specific skin type. Different peel options may be offered depending on the desired results.
What types of chemical peels are available at your clinic?
For various treatment options, Clinique DHD offers different types of peels: Glycolic peels (the most common alpha-hydroxy acid peels) – provide light to moderate exfoliation to help improve hyperpigmentation and melasma, skin texture, and minimize pore size. By removing dead skin cells, product penetration is also improved. This peel can benefit all skin types but is ideal for oily skin. Salicylic acid (beta-hydroxy acid) – helps unclog pores filled with sebum and dead cells. It has strong anti-inflammatory effects that can reduce acne-related inflammation, redness, and swelling. Additionally, this peel helps improve melasma and pigmentation.
Is there any pain or downtime?
Glycolic and salicylic acid peels are generally considered “lunch-time peels” with little to no downtime. Mild discomfort may occur but subsides quickly. A fan providing cool air may be given to the client during the peel to help alleviate the sunburn-like sensation some clients feel. Post-care recommendations are also provided to take care of the skin.
How many treatments will I need?
3 to 4 consecutive treatments spaced 2 weeks apart can help improve overall skin appearance. Maintenance treatments are recommended to prolong results. Peels are often used in combination with other facial treatments such as BBL Forever Young. *Individual results may vary.
