What Are Chemical Peels & The Benefits?
As summer ends and transitions into fall, it's the perfect time to start incorporating peels into your skincare routine. But what exactly are the different types of chemical peels, and how do these professional treatments improve your skin?
Let's break down what to expect from each type of peel and how they can benefit your skin.
WHAT ARE CHEMICAL PEELS AND HOW DO THEY WORK?
Chemical peels are a great form of exfoliation for your skin. They use a formulated chemical solution to gently remove dead skin cells, revealing smoother and brighter skin underneath. This process improves the texture of your skin by encouraging the growth of fresh new cells and stimulating collagen production. The result: glowing, rejuvenated skin. If your complexion needs a little pick-me-up, a chemical peel might be just what you need!
Whether you have acne-prone, aging or dull skin, there's a type of chemical peel for your specific concerns. Peels also deliver more intensive results compared to other forms of exfoliation, such as scrubs or enzyme masques. Here are some fantastic benefits peels offer:
Improved Skin Texture: The exfoliating effect of chemical peels smooths rough patches of skin and promotes a more even and radiant skin surface.
Reduced Fine Lines and Wrinkles: By stimulating collagen production, peels can diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, leaving your skin more youthful and full.
Enhanced Radiance: The exfoliation process reveals brighter, healthier skin, giving you a natural glow.
Unclogged Pores: Chemical peels effectively clear away debris and dead skin cells, reducing the appearance of acne and clogged pores.
Hyperpigmentation Treatment: Certain types of chemical peels can also fade dark spots and other forms of hyperpigmentation for a more even skin tone.

Glymed+ Light Chemical Peel (Superficial)
A gentle peel that exfoliates the uppermost layers of the skin, resulting in little to no peeling at all - possible mild flaking if any. A customized peel will be selected to target your concerns. This is a great place to start for those that have never received chemical peel treatments before or do not want the downtime of peeling skin. To correct more advanced concerns, it will take a series of peels combined with proper home care to reach desired results.

(this requires approval from me. You must be on a fully custom skincare routine, have had previous chemical peels performed by me at Skin Image, and a minimum of one month prep discussed in detail, prior to booking).
Works within the deeper layers of the skin to address more advanced concerns of aging, pigmentation, acne, scarring, wrinkles, etc. A customized peel will be selected to target your concerns. Clients may experience anywhere from mild to moderate peeling/flaking of the skin over the course of 5-7 days.
