The Basics
What is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is a professional skin resurfacing treatment designed to exfoliate dead skin cells, improve skin texture, and promote faster cell turnover. Using professional peel solutions, this treatment helps reduce fine lines, acne, discoloration, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone while revealing smoother, brighter, healthier-looking skin.
Chemical peels are tailored to your skin type and concerns by a licensed Esthetician to ensure safe and effective results. A series of treatments is recommended for optimal and long-lasting results.
Is a Chemical Peel right for me?
There are many different types of peels available. Some peels are lighter that exfoliate the surface layers while other penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin. At Chateau Glow, we offer enzymatic and superficial peels. With our peels, you'll likely experience little to no downtime with minimal shedding. However, this is not indicative of your results. When the skin is properly prepped, less peeling is expected, and that's completely normal!
Chemical peels are not suitable for clients who are pregnant or nursing.
Chemical peels are a versatile treatment that can address a wide range of skin concerns, including:
-
Minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
-
Stimulating collagen production for firmer, more youthful-looking skin
-
Help improve uneven texture, dehydration, and redness, making the complexion appear smoother and more even toned
-
Help treat and maintain acne, blemish-prone skin, and reduce the appearance of enlarged pores
-
Minimize post-acne marks, like post inflammatory hyperpigmentation, or dark spots
Chemical Peels at Chateau Glow
At Chateau Glow, we offer a range of different chemical peels from Face Reality and Image Skincare.
Our peels from Face Reality Skincare contain a powerful blend of TCA, Mandelic acid, Lactic acid, and Kojic acid. Regular sessions can lead to a noticeable improvement in skin texture and tone.
The Acne Peel is designed to address hyperpigmentation, inflammation, and fine lines on acne-prone skin without excessive dehydration or irritation. These peels can be customized to treat different types of acne and acne scarring based on the severity.
Our peels by Image Skincare are formulated with an organic aloe vera gel base. Aloe vera contains over 20 skin nourishing properties ranging from zinc, iron and calcium to vitamins and amino acids. These ingredients work to soothe skin irritations, provide antioxidants and reduce the appearance of redness.
The Enzyme Peel is a gentle yet effective option with minimal downtime. This peel is required for someone who has never had a peel before or for someone looking to start a peel series. The enzyme peel has a blend of vitamin C and fruit enzymes, that are infused with anti-inflammatory botanicals to reduce redness while gently exfoliating. Along with hyaluronic acid to add hydration to dry or dehydrated skin, centella stem cell technology to help calm redness-prone complexions. This treatment is safe and effective for all skin types, and can be done year-round.
The Wrinkle Lift Peel combines glycolic acid with retinol to visibly reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and dullness. Retinol boosts collagen production, helping to soften and smooth the skin, while buddleja stem cells calm irritation and reduce signs of photoaging. Energizing botanicals like coffee and peppermint work alongside purifying eucalyptus and ylang ylang to leave the skin firm, revitalized, and glowing.
The Lightening Lift Peel has a blend of lactic acid, kojic acid, peptides, and botanical brighteners to even out skin tone and brighten the skin. Ingredients like luminescence and echinacea stem cells that work together in an organic aloe vera gel base to combat all forms of pigmentation and leave the complexion clear, smooth, and glowing.
Enhance Your Results
How to prep your skin before treatment
Proper skin preparation is essential to ensure the safety and effectiveness of your chemical peel. In order to maximize your results and maintain the integrity of your skin, we recommend to:
-
Avoid AHA’s/BHA’s, exfoliation and retinoids for 72 hours before your peel
-
Avoid excessive sun exposure for at least 5 days - treatments can not be performed if there is an active sunburn
-
Peels can not be performed if you have received a chemical peel or laser service within the two weeks prior to your scheduled service.
-
Ensure you are not pregnant or nursing prior to your service
How to care for your skin after treatment
Caring for your skin after a chemical peel is just as important as the treatment itself. Because chemical peels accelerate cell turnover and reveal fresh, delicate skin, it’s essential to protect and support your skin during the healing process. To care for and protect your skin post peel, we recommend to:
-
Avoid makeup application for the remainder of the day
-
Avoid working out and saunas/steam rooms for 24-48 hours
-
Avoid excessive sun exposure for 7 days
-
Avoid active ingredients: vitamin C, AHA’s/BHA’s, exfoliating and retinoids for 4-5 days
-
Avoid facial laser, waxing and threading for 7 days
-
Avoid picking/popping any breakouts or peeling any shedding skin
