Science Behind Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are advanced treatments that improve skin texture and appearance by exfoliating outer layers. Using acids like AHAs, BHAs, or TCA, they stimulate regeneration for a smoother complexion. Mild peels refresh, while deeper ones address pigmentation and wrinkles. The shedding of treated layers enhances collagen production and cellular turnover, promoting an even tone and refined texture. Additionally, understanding treatments like botulinum toxin, which temporarily blocks muscle contraction, highlights the science behind aesthetic procedures. Chemical peels offer a scientifically backed way to rejuvenate your skin, customized for your needs.

Our Process

During your chemical peel treatment at Limelight Medical Aesthetics, you'll begin by reviewing a completed questionnaire and consent form. Photos are taken to document your progress and guide future sessions.

Once photos are captured, your skin will be thoroughly cleansed and prepped using acetone to optimize peel absorption. The peel is then uniformly applied across the forehead, cheeks, jawline, nose, and the area between the nose and upper lip. Depending on the type, the undereye area may also be treated, but not the delicate upper eyelid.

Throughout the application, we monitor your comfort and skin reaction. You may experience slight tingling, although the VI Peel's phenol content acts as an anesthetic to ease discomfort. The treatment continues until the desired frosting effect is observed or your comfort level indicates completion. After your session, you'll receive specific aftercare instructions and products to maximize your results.

Pre & Post Treatment Care

Before scheduling a chemical peel, consider your social calendar, as peeling is noticeable. Schedule treatments at least three weeks before vacations.

After the peel, your skin may look tan or pink and feel tight, akin to a sunburn, for the first two days. Avoid sun exposure, sweating, and heat, and use sunscreen regularly. Towelette use can expedite peeling but may cause slight stinging or itching. Refrain from pulling or rubbing the peeling skin to avoid irritation.

During peeling, cleanse gently with fingertips, and keep skin hydrated. Once exfoliation subsides, usually by day six, gradually resume skincare and physical activities.
