Chemical Peels at Spa310

Chemical peels are a blend of exfoliating acids that target specific areas of concern on the face or body. From general signs of aging to pigmentation and sun damage, we have a peel that will work for your goals and lifestyle!

The blends of acids in chemical peels work to break the bonds that hold damaged or dead skin cells together, leaving you with the smooth, fresh skin underneath.

Spa310 carries a range of chemical peels from light to medium depth treatments. Your provider will choose the optimal treatment for your goals, lifestyle, and skin type.

Depending on your skin concerns, your provider will select the appropriate peel for your desired results. Conditions we are able to treat include the following:

• Dull, dehydrated skin

• Fine Lines and Aging

• Mild facial laxity

• Acne and Acne Scarring

• Hyperpigmentation

• Melasma

• Uneven skin texture

Number of sessions required varies greatly on your skin’s health, home care, and desired results. Upon consultation, your provider will give an estimate of how many sessions may be needed.

Before your Chemical Peel Treatment:

• 1 week Pre-Treatment

  • Avoid topical products such as Tretinoin (Retin-A), Retinols, Retinoids, Glycolic Acid, Alpha Hydroxy Acid, Salicylic Acid, or other anti-aging, acne and bleaching products.

  • Also, AVOID waxing, bleaching, tweezing or the use of hair removal cream on the area to be treated.

  • Use SPF 30+ daily

• Provider will cleanse and analyze your skin, going over your treatment goals, and choosing the appropriate formula

• Peel will be applied in layered passes until provider observes optimal endpoints

• Daytime appointments: Provider will apply a barrier strengthening hydrator and SPF

• Nighttime appointments: Provider will apply a barrier strengthening hydrator

• Avoid wetting the treatment area for at least 4 hours post treatment to avoid any discomfort

• Wear SPF 30+ every day post peel

• Avoid exercise or strenuous activities (except for light walking) for the first 24 to 48 hours following treatment.

• Avoid any hot saunas, hot exercise classes, and sweating for the first 24-28 hours following treatment.

• If receiving the peel in the AM: you should leave the peel on all day. Wash your face with a mild cleanser that night.

• If receiving the peel in the PM: you should leave the peel on overnight. Wash it off the following morning, using only your hands (no washcloth, loofah, brush, etc.).

• If any flaking or peeling occurs post treatment, do NOT pick or pull that the shedding skin. This can cause uncontrolled inflammation in the skin. If needed, you may trim off any shedded skin with a disinfected pair of nail scissors.

Chemical peels can have varying degrees of downtime. Superficial, or light peels can have little to no downtime, where our medium depth peels can have 5-7 days of downtime. Your provider will select the appropriate strength of peel depending on your desires and lifestyle.
