Chemical Peels at Hideaway IV & Aesthetics

What Is a Chemical Peel?

Sun exposure, acne or aging can leave your skin tone uneven, wrinkled, spotted or scarred. A chemical peel uses a chemical solution to smooth the texture of your skin by removing the damaged outer layers. Peels do this by exfoliating the skin and triggering collagen regeneration. They are one of the least invasive ways to improve the appearance of your skin.

A chemical peel can help improve:

• Acne or acne scars
• Age and liver spots
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Freckles or irregular skin pigmentation
• Rough skin and scaly patches
• Sun-damaged skin

What a chemical peel won’t do:

• Remove broken capillaries
• Change pore size
• Remove deep scars
• Treat deep facial lines
• Tighten loose or sagging skin

Chemical peels can work for everyone, and the list of benefits is long. Peels can be done alone or in combination with other modalities. And their affordability makes them a staple in beauty maintenance programs. Done regularly, even light peels will help to prevent the aging effects of the sun if used with our medical grade skin care system.

Chemical Peels Offered at Hideaway IV & Aesthetics:

Light Exfoliation Chemical Peel (Stratum Corneum)

A light chemical peel will provide subtle improvements at first, but a healthy glow will increase with more treatments. A light chemical peel might be the right choice if you have uneven pigment, dryness, acne or fine wrinkling. This kind of peel removes just the outer layer of skin (epidermis) in a light exfoliation and results in a healthier glow with no disruption to social schedules.

• 30% Lactic Acid Peel & Antioxidant: Really good for sensitive, dry, and/or mature skin.
• 30% Glycolic Acid & Antioxidant: Excellent for skin types that need exfoliation, especially oily, thick skin.

Medium Exfoliation Chemical Peel (Stratum Granulosum)

Medium chemical peels can offer more dramatic results for skin challenges. Designed to show immediate improvement, the best results are generally seen after about 3 days. This skin renewal process may cause the skin to shed its outer dead layer resulting healthier-acting, younger looking skin.

• Fade & Firm Plus: Best for mature, hyperpigmented and environmentally damaged skin.
• TCA-AHA-BHA Exfoliator: Excellent for environmentally damaged and post acne skin. Helps to smooth rough texture and reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and acne scars.

Superficial Designer Peel (Basal Layer)

Superficial designer peels are designed to provide complete epidermal rejuvenation in approximately 7 days. During this skin renewal process, patient’s skin generally eliminates the most damaged and dysfunctional skin cells of the epidermis. This will cause stimulation and migration of new skin cells throughout the epidermis resulting in new, fresher, healthier acting, younger looking skin.

• Jessners Plus Antioxidant Solution: Great for reducing fine lines and wrinkles; Softens and hydrates dry skin; Smooths rough texture; Helps lighten and diminish pigmentation; Helps to control oil; Helps to prevent, open up and dry out acne and other blemishes including blackheads and whiteheads; Helps prevent razor bumps and open up and dry out active razor bumps; Helps boost home skin care programs by allowing the active ingredients of home care products to work on new cells instead of being absorbed by or lying on the barrier of old, dead skin cells that cover the surface of the skin.

VI Peel: Medium Depth Chemical Peel (can reach the papillary dermis)

With a medium depth chemical peel, your skin will be noticeably smoother and fresher looking. Acne scars, deeper wrinkles and uneven skin color can be treated with a medium chemical peel. The chemicals used for this type of peel will remove skin cells from both the outer layer of skin (epidermis) and upper part of your middle layer of skin (dermis).

These peels are specifically designed and targeted to address anti-aging, hyperpigmentation, sun spots and acneic skin.
