Chemical Peels
Chemical Peels at DrTen20
Chemical peels are used to treat skin at a variety of different skin depths with the goal of stimulating new skin growth and improving surface texture and appearance. Chemical peels can treat mild to moderate skin discoloration (age spots), moderate to deep wrinkles and scars while improving the skin’s texture. Skin Peels are one of the most popular med-spa treatments because they can dramatically improve skin radiance, texture, and luminosity with very little or no downtime.
In the hands of experienced professionals like the team at DrTen20, chemical peels are tailored to your specific needs. By adjusting the strength of the solution we use for the chemical peel, and adjusting how long it remains on the skin, our physicians can control the peel’s aggressiveness and results.
What type of peels should I consider getting?
At DrTen20 we use 3 categories of peels; the Doctor will advise you based on your unique needs and desires.
Light – A “light peel” is sometimes called a superficial peel which penetrates the skin’s outer layer, and improves mild discoloration, smoothes rough skin, and provides a refreshed look. We will use glycolic acid, lactic acid, salicylic acid and trichloroacetic acid (TCA) in our superficial peels. A light peel has minimum recovery time and can be done on your lunch break from work!
Medium – A “medium peel” will penetrate into the middle layer of the skin to remove damaged cells. Stronger solutions of glycolic acid and TCA are used to make age spots, fine lines and wrinkles, and freckles appear less noticeable. A medium-depth peel requires 5 to 7 days recovery and strict sun protection. Medium peels are also used to help tighten sun-damaged skin and to remove some actinic keratosis.
Deep – A deep peel is good for skin that’s had Severe sun damage, deep wrinkles, or significant scars.
- Active ingredients: Phenol, high concentrations of TCA.
- Purpose: A deep peel penetrates the lower layers of the skin and offers dramatic results but requires a longer recovery time.
- Downtime: 2-3 weeks of intense peeling and redness, followed by additional time for full healing.
- Who should get it: Individuals with severe skin concerns who are seeking more dramatic, long-term results and are prepared for significant downtime.
