Chemical Peels at Pommier Med Spa in Riverview, Florida

Chemical peels are a popular rejuvenation treatment that can improve the appearance of your skin. They are used to remove dead skin cells and promote the growth of new, healthy skin. At Pommier Med Spa in Riverview, Florida, just minutes from Tampa, we offer a variety of chemical peels to help you achieve your desired results.

What are Chemical Peels?

Chemical peels are a type of exfoliation that uses a chemical solution to remove the top layer of dead skin cells. The solution is applied to the skin and left on for a certain amount of time before it is neutralized and removed. As the top layer of skin is removed, new skin cells are revealed, resulting in a smoother and more even complexion.

Chemical peels can be used to treat a variety of skin concerns, including:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Acne and acne scars
• Sun damage
• Age spots
• Hyperpigmentation
• Rough texture
• Enlarged pores

• Light Chemical Peels: Light chemical peels, also known as superficial peels, are the mildest form of chemical peel. They are designed to remove the top layer of dead skin cells and improve the overall texture and tone of the skin. They are typically performed using alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs), such as glycolic acid or salicylic acid.
• Medium Chemical Peels: Medium chemical peels are designed to penetrate deeper into the skin to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, and sun damage. They are typically performed using trichloroacetic acid (TCA) or Jessner’s solution.
• Deep Chemical Peels: Deep chemical peels are the most aggressive form of chemical peel and are designed to improve the appearance of deep wrinkles, severe sun damage, and acne scars. They are typically performed using phenol.

Chemical Peel Procedure at Pommier Med Spa

At Pommier Med Spa, we use the most advanced techniques and products to ensure the best possible results for our patients. For example, the procedure for a chemical peel is as follows:

• Consultation: Before the treatment, you will have a consultation with one of our aestheticians to determine the best treatment plan for your skin. They will also answer any questions you may have about the procedure.
• Cleanse: Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed to remove any makeup, oils, or debris.
• Apply Peel: The chemical solution will be applied to your skin using a brush or cotton pad. The solution will be left on your skin for a certain amount of time, depending on the type of peel you are receiving.
• Neutralize: Once the desired amount of time has passed, the chemical solution will be neutralized with a neutralizing solution.
• Moisturize: Your skin will be moisturized to help soothe and protect the newly exposed skin.
• Aftercare: You will be given instructions on how to care for your skin after the procedure. You may experience mild redness, itching, and flaking, but these side effects should subside within a few days.

Q: What is a chemical peel?

A: A chemical peel is a type of treatment that uses a chemical solution to improve the texture and tone of the skin on the face, neck, or hands. The procedure involves applying the chemical solution to the skin, which causes the top layer of the skin to peel off. This can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, age spots, and other signs of aging, as well as improve the overall texture and tone of the skin.

Q: What types of chemical peels are available?

A: There are different types of chemical peels available, including light, medium, and deep peels. Light peels use mild chemicals to remove the top layer of skin and are used to treat mild skin imperfections. Medium peels use stronger chemicals to remove a deeper layer of skin and are used to treat moderate skin imperfections. Deep peels use the strongest chemicals to remove the deepest layer of skin and are used to treat severe skin imperfections.

A: Chemical peel treatments are safe and effective for most adults with healthy skin. They are particularly effective for people with fine lines and wrinkles, age spots, freckles, acne, acne scars, and uneven skin tone.

It’s important to have a consultation with a qualified professional to determine if chemical peel treatment is right for you.
