Chemical Peels in Frisco, TX

For the best results from chemical peel facial treatments, AestheticFX Med Spa provides you with different options. Your individualized chemical peel with exfoliating solutions (such as glycolic, salicylic, trichloroacetic, and lactic acids) will reveal healthier, more radiant skin. At our Frisco, TX facility, Beverly Farris offers chemical peel treatments that help to solve skin flaws like wrinkles, scars, fine lines, dry patches, hyperpigmentation problems, and more. Chemical peels remove dead, damaged skin cells by applying a personalized treatment on the skin, which causes the visible layer to slough off. When your skin heals and starts to repair and rejuvenate itself, you will notice a clearer, smoother complexion. A chemical peel treatment is a nonsurgical technique to make your complexion bright and is used for the face, neck, and décollatage. We carry a wide selection of chemical peels, including Obagi® Blue Peel Radiance and The Perfect™ Derma Peel.

Based on the intensity of the treatment, you could expect an array of the following perks from your treatment at AestheticFX:

• Hydrated, revitalized skin feel
• Decrease in wrinkles and aging marks
• Evened and calmed skin tone
• Reduction of pores and other skin abnormalities

Chemical peels can help to improve a wide range of skin concerns and conditions, though there are some patients who may not be considered candidates for a chemical peel based on their skin type, tone, or another variable. These may include dark skin tones, a history of prominent or abnormal scar development, and particularly sensitive skin. Generally speaking, patients with lighter complexions enjoy the most successful chemical peel treatments. Prior to administering a chemical peel, our knowledgeable team will evalaute your skin, discuss your concerns, and determine whether you are an appropriate candidate for treatment.

Chemical peels are versatile skincare treatments that address various skin concerns, delivering remarkable improvements in texture, tone, and overall appearance. These treatments exfoliate the skin's outer layer, stimulating cell turnover and revealing a fresh, rejuvenated complexion. Primarily used on the face and neck, chemical peels can effectively target and treat several common skin conditions, including:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Uneven skin tone
• Uneven skin texture
• Dull complexion
• Scars

On the day of your appointment at AestheticFX Med Spa, we will have you lying in a relaxed position to administer your treatment. A team member will make sure your skin is cleansed before applying the customized solution of Obagi Blue Peel Radiance, The Perfect Derma Peel, or any other of our options to the face and/or neck. We will brush the solution onto the skin and let it set for a specific amount of time which will be discussed in your chemical peel consultation. Finally, we will clean the solution off your skin and put on a neutralizing agent. Patients may want to bring sunscreen and a hat to wear outside after the treatment to protect against environmental exposure.

Depending on the type of peel you have, you should expect your face to itch and peel for a few days to two or more weeks. Beverly or a member of her team at AestheticFX will discuss ways to care for your skin during your appointment. Please keep in mind that no matter how badly your skin itches during recovery, it's not helpful to pull the skin off as it could result in scarring of your skin.

How much does a chemical peel cost?
Beverly can go over your costs in your consultation once she has finished building your custom treatment plan. Costs for a chemical peel will vary depending on the formula you select. AestheticFX accepts many payment methods, and we often run specials on treatments like chemical peels. You may also consider buying a package of several chemical peel treatments.

What level should I choose for my chemical peel?
Which level of chemical peel is best for you will depend on your specific skin issues and cosmetic goals. In your initial consultation with Beverly, she will help you choose which type of peel is right for your skin. A few things you may consider are your overall health, the type of skin you have, how deep you want the peel to work, how long you can spend in recovery, and what concerns you have about the appearance of your skin. For first-time patients, it is better to select a light peel and decide how you like the results. After this, you and Beverly may tweak your treatment plan to discover the best type of peel for your needs.

Should I get a chemical peel or dermabrasion treatment?
Dermabrasion and chemical peels are both facial rejuvenation procedures that treat surface blemishes to give your skin a rejuvenated appearance. The major difference is that dermabrasion uses aesthetic tools (a rotating brush or shaving instrument) to clear away the top layer of skin through a careful scraping process. A chemical peel applies a specialized solution to your skin to remove damaged skin cells. In your initial consultation, Beverly will discuss the pros and cons of each and help you decide if dermabrasion or a chemical peel best fits your needs and goals.

Will my face hurt after a chemical peel?
Based on the formula selected, you might have mild discomfort while it is actively treating your skin. If you choose a lighter peel, you will feel some stinging, but it can be alleviated with a handheld fan. Deep or medium peels are good for deeper issues and give you longer-lasting results, but they usually are more uncomfortable. Topical anesthetics, skin medications, and soothing ointments can be used to minimize your discomfort during the treatment. Beverly or a member of our team will give you tips on skin care after your chemical peel to maintain your results.

Can I combine a chemical peel with other treatments?
You may consider combining a chemical peel with another nonsurgical skin treatment at AestheticFX. In your initial consultation, be open with Beverly about your skin issues so she can create a personalized treatment plan to best address your goals. This might include adding injectable wrinkle treatments (such as JUVÉDERM® or BOTOX®) along with your chemical peel to rejuvenate your entire appearance.

If you are new to facial treatments, AestheticFX Med Spa will help you choose the ideal procedure for your goals. Your freshly revived skin will thank you by looking radiant and touchably silky.
