Chemical Peels in Palm Springs, CA
A chemical peel is a proven skin resurfacing treatment that improves and smooths the texture of your skin by gently removing its outermost layer. The result is fresh, renewed skin that appears more even-toned, smoother, tighter, and brighter. At Desert Aesthetics Institute, our chemical peels are customized to your skin type and concerns to help you achieve a radiant, refreshed complexion.
How Does a Chemical Peel Work?
Chemical peels are a safe and effective treatment that removes the outermost layers of the skin to reveal new, untouched skin beneath. During your appointment, your provider will create a chemical solution specifically formulated for your skin type and concerns, ensuring the best possible results while protecting the health of your skin.
While most patients can return to their normal activities immediately after treatment, the skin will be more sensitive and should be kept makeup-free and protected from sun exposure for at least two to four days. Most patients begin to experience peeling after about 48 hours, which typically resolves within two to five days, revealing beautifully renewed skin.
Benefits of Chemical Peels
Chemical peels offer a range of cosmetic and therapeutic benefits, including smoother skin texture, more even skin tone, reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, diminished acne scarring, and a brighter, more youthful complexion. Because each peel is customized, your treatment can be adjusted in strength and formulation to match your unique needs.
