What Are Chemical Peels?
At AestheticFX Med Spa, we offer a variety of chemical peel treatments tailored to your skin’s unique needs. Using exfoliating agents like glycolic, salicylic, trichloroacetic, and lactic acids, these peels reveal fresher, more radiant skin. Beverly Farris provides personalized peels at our Frisco, TX location to target wrinkles, fine lines, scars, dry patches, and uneven pigmentation. By gently removing damaged outer layers, these treatments promote skin renewal for a brighter, smoother complexion. Ideal for the face, neck, and décolletage, we use professional-grade formulas including Obagi® Blue Peel Radiance and The Perfect™ Derma Peel.
Benefits of Chemical Peels
Depending on the peel depth, benefits may include:
- Refreshed, more hydrated skin
- Reduction in fine lines and aging signs
- Improved, even skin tone
- Smaller pores and fewer blemishes
Who Are Ideal Candidates?
Chemical peels work well for many skin types and concerns. However, individuals with darker skin tones, sensitive skin, or scarring history should consult with us for special considerations. Generally, those with lighter skin tones see the best results. Our team will evaluate your skin and goals to ensure a peel suits you.
What Conditions Do Chemical Peels Treat?
These exfoliating treatments encourage cell turnover, improving skin texture and clarity while addressing:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Uneven skin tone
- Rough or dull texture
- Scarring and blemishes
How Is a Chemical Peel Done?
During your visit, we’ll cleanse your skin and apply a customized peel—such as Obagi Blue Peel Radiance or The Perfect Derma Peel—based on your skin type and concerns. The solution stays on for a set time, then is neutralized and cleansed. Post-treatment, we recommend wearing a hat and sunscreen, as your skin will be sun-sensitive.
What to Expect After a Chemical Peel
Recovery varies by peel strength. You may experience peeling and itching lasting from a few days up to two weeks. Our team will guide you on aftercare to promote healing. Avoid picking or peeling your skin to prevent scarring.
Chemical Peel FAQs
How much does a chemical peel cost?
Pricing depends on the peel type selected. Beverly will review your personalized plan and costs during consultation. We offer payment options, specials, and package pricing for multiple treatments.
What peel strength should I choose?
The ideal peel strength depends on your skin condition, goals, and downtime preferences. Beverly will recommend light, medium, or deep peels, often starting new patients with a lighter peel and adjusting as needed.
Chemical peel or dermabrasion—what’s the difference?
Both resurface the skin but differ in method. Dermabrasion mechanically exfoliates, while chemical peels dissolve damaged skin layers. Beverly will explain pros and cons to help you choose.
Will a chemical peel hurt?
Sensation varies by peel depth. Light peels may cause mild stinging; deeper peels can feel more intense. We offer numbing and soothing products for comfort. Detailed aftercare instructions will be provided.
Can chemical peels be combined with other treatments?
Yes! Many patients combine peels with BOTOX®, JUVÉDERM®, or microneedling for enhanced results. Beverly will customize your treatment plan accordingly.
