What is Deep Chemical Peel

Advanced resurfacing treatments that penetrate multiple skin layers to address severe damage and aging concerns.

The Science Behind TCA Chemical Peel

Medical-grade acids create controlled injury to stimulate your body's natural healing and collagen production for lasting transformation.

Here's how TCA Chemical Peel works:

Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA) Penetration: This powerful acid breaks down damaged skin proteins and keratin, creating controlled peeling that removes years of accumulated damage. Your skin rebuilds itself with fresh, healthy cells for dramatic improvement.

Collagen Regeneration Activation: TCA triggers your body's wound healing response, flooding treated areas with new collagen and elastin. Weeks pass. The improvements keep building. Scars fill in, texture smooths out naturally.

Unlike surface treatments that only address symptoms, TCA peels work at the cellular level to rebuild your skin's foundation permanently.

Are Deep Chemical Peel Treatments Right for You?

Perfect for People Who Want Dramatic, Lasting Results

When standard skin care doesn’t help, makeup can’t fix everything and you want to reverse years of damage, medical peels can transform your skin. Ideal for busy professionals who want effective solutions.

Are Our Professional Chemical Peels The Best Treatment for Your Goals?

Medical-grade formulations and expert application deliver superior results compared to spa treatments or at-home products. Here's how they work for different concerns:

Chemical Peels to Erase Acne Scarring

Deep TCA peels penetrate scar tissue to break down damaged collagen and stimulate healthy regeneration. Multiple sessions transform even severe pitted scars into smooth, even texture.

Facial Chemical Peels to Reverse Sun Damage

Professional-strength acids target years of accumulated UV damage, removing age spots and restoring even tone. Results surpass any topical treatment for comprehensive skin renewal.

Chemical Peels to Eliminate Stubborn Pigmentation

Medical-grade peels break through melanin deposits that resist other treatments. Customized formulations address your specific pigmentation type for lasting clarity and confidence.

Getting Ready for Your Chemical Face Peels Appointment

Getting ready properly for your chemical peel treatment helps you get the best results and prevents most complications.

Stop Retinoid Products

Discontinue tretinoin, retinol and prescription retinoids 5-7 days prior to your appointment. Applying these with chemicals can raise skin sensitivity and cause more peeling or redness than intended.

Avoid Sun Exposure

Stay out of direct sunlight for 2 weeks prior to treatment. Tanned or sunburned skin cannot safely receive chemical peels and may develop permanent pigmentation changes.

Hydrate Your Skin

Apply gentle moisturizers on your skin every day in the days prior to treatment. If your skin is well hydrated, chemical peels will work better, and you’ll recover faster with no problems.

How to Prepare for Your VI Chemical Peel Treatment

Pre-Treatment Preparation and Guidelines

Begin using prescribed pre-treatment products 2 weeks before your appointment to prime skin for optimal peel penetration and results.

Post-Treatment Care

Follow specific aftercare instructions including gentle cleansing, prescribed moisturizers, and strict sun protection for 2 weeks following treatment.

When is the Ideal Time to Start your Medical Grade Chemical Peel?

Understanding the Risks of a Facial Chemical Peel

When the procedure is done by a skilled professional, chemical peels are very safe, yet some temporary effects can happen as the skin heals.

Temporary Redness and Sensitivity

This is typical, lasting 3-7 days and similar to a mild sunburn when you take care of the area and stay out of direct sunlight.

Mild Peeling and Flaking

Expected skin shedding for 5-10 days as damaged layers naturally slough off to reveal fresh skin underneath.

Temporary Darkening of Treated Areas

Possible pigment changes lasting 2-4 weeks, especially with deeper peels, resolving completely with proper aftercare.

Minor Swelling Around Eyes

Occasional puffiness for 24-48 hours, particularly with medium-depth peels, managed with cool compresses and elevation.

Who Should Avoid Facial & Body Chemical Peel Procedures?

Certain conditions require alternative treatments to ensure safety and optimal results.

Pregnant or Nursing Individuals

You should not have a chemical peel while pregnant or breastfeeding because the acids may be absorbed and harm the mother and child.

Active Skin Infections

Current cold sores, bacterial infections, or open wounds in treatment areas must heal completely before chemical peel procedures can be safely performed.

Recent Isotretinoin Use

Accutane users must wait 6-12 months after discontinuation before chemical peels to avoid excessive skin sensitivity and delayed healing complications.

Safety Measures at ImageLab Medspa

Certified Medical Professionals

All our practitioners have licenses and are trained to use chemical peels with great skill and complete knowledge of facial anatomy.

Thorough Assessment Protocol

Before applying a peel, we do a detailed check of the skin and review your medical history to find out which peel will be best for you.

Authentic Medical-Grade Products

We exclusively use FDA-approved chemical peel formulations from authorized medical distributors, guaranteeing safety, effectiveness, and predictable results with quality-controlled ingredients.

Pristine Clinical Standards

Our facility maintains strict sterile protocols using medical-grade equipment and maintaining spotless treatment environments to prevent infection and ensure patient safety.

Post-Treatment Guidelines for Chemical Peeling Treatments to Maximize Safety

Looking after your skin correctly after the procedure allows it to heal properly and prevents any complications.

Mild Cleansing Routine

Opt for gentle, non-foaming cleansers and dab your skin dry softly. Do not use exfoliating products, scrubs or hard washcloths as they might hurt the skin while it is healing.

Strict Sun Protection Routine

Apply broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen every 2 hours and avoid direct sun exposure for 2 weeks. New skin is extremely photosensitive and burns easily.

Moisturize Consistently Daily

Apply prescribed healing ointments and gentle moisturizers to prevent excessive dryness, cracking, or infection while supporting your skin's natural recovery and regeneration process.

Frequently Asked Questions About Body & Facial Chemical Peels

What do results look like?

Expect smoother texture, even skin tone, reduced scarring, and brighter complexion. Results vary by peel depth, with light peels providing subtle glow and deep peels delivering dramatic transformation over several weeks of healing.

When will I see results?

Initial improvements appear within 7-10 days as peeling subsides. Full results develop over 4-6 weeks as new collagen forms. Multiple treatments spaced monthly provide cumulative benefits for maximum skin transformation and lasting improvement.

Are chemical peels safe?

Yes, when performed by trained professionals using medical-grade products. Temporary redness and peeling are normal. Serious complications are rare with proper patient selection, technique, and aftercare following established medical protocols and safety guidelines.

Do chemical peels hurt?

Many patients feel a burning sensation when they apply the product which lasts for 5-10 minutes and then a sunburn-like sensation for 24-48 hours. Stronger peels might mean you need pain medicine, though the discomfort is mild and only lasts for a short while.

Are chemical peels worth it?

Absolutely. Professional peels provide lasting results superior to over-the-counter products, improving confidence and skin health. Investment pays long-term dividends in reduced need for makeup and skincare products while delivering dramatic improvements.

Chemical peel recovery time?

Light peels require 3-5 days with minimal flaking. Visible peeling occurs after 7-14 days with medium peels. Complete healing from a deep peel takes about 2 to 3 weeks. Planning around social events ensures comfortable recovery experience.
