Our chemical peels in Valparaiso, IN, reach beyond the surface of your skin—they remove the topmost, damaged layer to uncover brand new, glowing skin. It’s a great, noninvasive option for clients looking to achieve improvements in their:
Chemical peels can benefit your skin in a variety of ways. Their versatility makes them a popular treatment amongst clients and providers alike.
Many skin treatments can give you a younger-looking appearance, but chemical peels will truly de-age your skin. The skin that emerges after this service is brand new, helping eliminate years of skin damage.
New skin cells are much more receptive to daily skincare routines. They will absorb creams, oils, and serums much faster than they did before your chemical peel, giving your wallet a break from frequent product replacement.
Chemical peels speed up skin renewal at a cellular level. When we remove your old skin cells, the process signals your body to generate healthier cells quickly to take their place—this is called cellular turnover.
Our online treatment planning tool provides personalized recommendations based on your goals.
In the week leading up to your appointment, avoid engaging in activities that might irritate your skin. This includes being in the sun for long periods of time and using retinoids or exfoliants.
Consult your Icon Aesthetics esthetician if you have any concerns about using your current skincare products.
Follow a gentle skincare routine and keep your skin well hydrated as it heals from the chemical peel. Improper care can further irritate your skin and impede the results of your treatment.
Continue to avoid prolonged sun exposure, and apply sunscreen daily to promote and prolong the results of your chemical peel.
Downtime can be minimal to moderate depending on the intensity of the chemical peel you choose. Some target the topmost layer of skin, while others penetrate deep within.
It is important to protect and nurture your sensitive skin after your treatment. Because it is growing new cells, you may experience some redness and peeling.
The length of results varies between each individual and the level of your peel, but many of our patients enjoy their chemical peel benefits for several months.
During treatment, you may feel a mild burning sensation, typically lasting about 5 to 10 minutes.
Many patients notice results after only one peel, as their skin looks and feels smoother, brighter, and clearer.
After one of our chemical peels in Valparaiso, you can expect a reduction in dark spots and pigmentation of the skin. This is because the treatment works to remove these discolored cells, allowing for an even complexion.
You can expect your skin to peel significantly after this treatment because of the purging of old cells.
It is very important that you do not pick at your skin during this time, as premature shedding can cause damage and hyperpigmentation of the new skin.
Gently apply a facial moisturizer, such as Vaseline, over the treatment area multiple times a day or as needed. Not only is this beneficial for your skin’s healing process, but it can soothe your sensitive skin.
