Best Chemical Peels near me in Naples, Los Angeles

A chemical peel is a skin resurfacing treatment that uses an acid solution (such as AHA, BHA, TCA or phenol) to exfoliate the outer layers of the skin. Depending on the peel depth, superficial, medium, or deep, it can improve skin texture, tone, fine lines, acne, and pigmentation.

A chemical peel removes skin cells from different layers of your skin, stimulating new skin cell growth in the process. Skin will start to peel like sunburn 3-5 days after your treatment. This promotes new skin cell generation which should make your skin look smoother and can help reduce wrinkles, acne, and unwanted pigmentations, like age spots.

When carried out by an experienced dermatologist or practitioner, chemical peels can achieve great results, reducing skin discoloration, wrinkles, and acne with minimal discomfort. However, you need to be prepared for your skin to start peeling 3-5 days after your treatment in a similar way to flaking, sun-burned skin. Your skin will be vulnerable at this stage: pick at it and you could cause irritation and infection. Those prone to acne may experience breakouts, but these should clear up within a few days, leaving your skin looking healthier. You’ll also need to avoid high temperatures, over-exertion, and wearing makeup for 1-2 weeks.

Superficial peels have minimal downtime: some redness for a day or two. Medium peels may cause peeling and redness for 5–7 days. Deep peels require more significant recovery of 1–2 weeks. Your provider will advise on aftercare and sun protection.
