Chemical Peels Q&A
-
Chemical peels are a skin treatment that involves the application of a special acid that gently exfoliates dead skin layers. The proteins in your skin react to the acids, causing your skin to peel away.
The Duo Wellness Rejuvenation team offers several types of acids to achieve different depths of peeling. These services include:
Superficial chemical peels
Superficial chemical peels use an alpha-hydroxy acid that penetrates the outer layer of your skin and causes it to peel. This type of peel can treat mild skin discolorations and hyperpigmentation and leaves skin refreshed and younger-looking with less than 24 hours of downtime.
Medium chemical peels
Medium chemical peels use glycolic or a similar acid to exfoliate the surface and middle layers of skin to remove damaged skin cells that lead to age spots, freckles, wrinkles, and lines.
Deep chemical peels
Deep chemical peels use trichloroacetic or similar acid to penetrate below the middle layer of skin to exfoliate damaged skin cells and treat more severe wrinkles, freckles, age spots, acne scars, and in some cases actinic keratosis a precancerous skin condition caused by sun damage.
Your Duo Wellness Rejuvenation provider can determine which type of chemical peel is right for you after carefully evaluating your existing skin health and your objectives for treatment.

The team at Duo Wellness Rejuvenation can recommend the right type of chemical peel to treat common skin issues like:
Acne
Scars
Freckling
Pigmentation
Wrinkles and fine lines
Chemical peels can also be useful for improving your overall skin tone and texture to help you achieve a younger, more vibrant look.

After a chemical peel, you can return to most of your usual activities without any limitations. However, with medium and deep chemical peels, you may wish to postpone social activities for several days to allow your skin to heal.
It can take a week or longer for skin to heal following a peel, and it’s normal to experience some redness and swelling in the days after your treatment. After a deep peel, you may need to wear bandages to prevent infection and use a special ointment to promote skin healing.
Skin may continue to peel, so your Duo Wellness Rejuvenation provider can recommend high-quality moisturizers and cleansers to protect your skin’s health.
