What is a Chemical Peel?

For the highest quality results from chemical peel treatments, Med Spa at Seena One (Corrective Skin Care) provides you with an array of customized facial treatment options. A professional chemical peel with exfoliating solutions (such as glycolic, salicylic, lactic, and trichloroacetic acids) can give you more radiant skin and a more even skin tone.

At our Burleson, TX office, qualified physician Dr. Mukhtar Anees and our expertly trained medical aestheticians use professional-grade chemical peel solutions, including PCA Skin® and the Epionce™ Peel System (No down time). Chemical peel facials reduce the appearance of skin abnormalities, such as scars, fine lines, wrinkles, uneven patches, hyperpigmentation issues, and more.

These advanced solutions work to remove dead or damaged skin cells by using a special exfoliating solution applied to the skin, which causes dead skin cells to slough off. When your skin heals and begins to repair itself after a chemical peel, you will notice a smoother, clearer complexion.

A chemical peel treatment is a nonsurgical technique to brighten and enhance your complexion and may be appropriate for both the face and neck.

What are the TYPES of Chemical Peels?

At our state-of-the-art facility, we provide chemical peels in multiple strengths (light, medium, and deep) to meet the skin goals of Fort Worth and Burleson, TX clients.

Light Peels

This type of peel removes the top layer of skin (the epidermis), giving your complexion a brighter appearance and smoother texture. We usually recommend that you schedule a light chemical peel once a month for the most consistent results. You can receive a light chemical peel on your lunch break and go right back to your day without restrictions or obvious side effects.

Medium-Depth Peels

Since medium-strength chemical peels reach deeper into the skin, patients usually prefer to receive this level of facial treatment right before a long weekend. Medium-depth peels are designed for patients who have significant damage to their skin, like deeper wrinkles and darker pigmentation issues. A medium chemical peel may cause mild discomfort during treatment and for up to one hour after the peel.

Deep Peels

The most advanced chemical peel is the deep peel treatment, which also requires the longest recovery time. This is an aggressive cosmetic treatment that may leave the face itchy, peeling, and swollen for 2–3 weeks. Clients who undergo a deep chemical peel generally have age spots or dark spots, sun-damaged skin, significant acne scars, and/or deep scars. Because deep chemical peels are typically uncomfortable for patients, we will provide you with a topical anesthetic as a part of your treatment.

What Are The Benefits Of A Chemical Peel?

Depending on the strength of the treatment, you could discover an assortment of the following benefits from your procedure at Med Spa At Seena One:

  • Lessening of wrinkles and signs of aging
  • Diminishment of pores and different skin flaws
  • Moisturized, enhanced skin texture
  • Balanced and neutral complexion

Can I Get a Chemical Peel?

Being evaluated by an aesthetic specialist is the first step toward smooth, healthy skin. When you visit Med Spa At Seena One, one of our expert aesthetic providers will assess your skin during an examination before helping you select a PCA Skin or Epionce chemical peel treatment (No down time) that is ideal for meeting your skin needs and desired outcomes. Chemical peel candidates, including both women and men, generally have visible skin concerns like rough patches, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, flaky skin, fine lines, wrinkles, sun spots, and more. We can recommend multiple types of chemical peels to meet your goals and regenerate new healthy skin.

How is a Chemical Peel Performed?

On the day of your procedure at Med Spa At Seena One, we will have you relax in one of our comfortable and private treatment rooms. Dr. Anees or our skilled aesthetician will ensure your skin is clean and free of debris before applying a topical numbing agent to minimize discomfort. The personalized chemical peel solution will then be applied to your face and/or neck, massaged into the skin, and left for a certain period. Afterwards, we clean the peel solution and apply a neutralizing agent. Clients are advised to bring a light sunscreen and hat to wear outside following a chemical peel to protect from UV sun rays.

How Long is Recovery After a Chemical Peel?

Based on the strength of the chemical peel you receive, the treated area may peel and itch for several days or weeks. A member of our team will provide instructions on caring for your skin as the top layers peel away and generate a healthy new glow. Please remember that no matter how much your skin itches throughout the healing process, it is never good to pick at flaking skin, as this may cause scarring and damage your delicate skin.

Chemical Peel FAQ

How Much Does a Chemical Peel Cost?

After your consultation, we will customize your treatment plan and review your options. The cost can vary based on the intensity you select; however, Med Spa at Seena One (Corrective Skin Care) offers some of the lowest chemical peel prices in the Fort Worth and Burleson, TX area. Our facility accepts many payment methods and often runs specials on chemical peel treatments. You may also consider buying a package of treatments or joining our cost-savings membership plan.

What Level Should I Choose for My Chemical Peel?

The level best for you will vary based on your specific skin concerns and cosmetic goals. In your consultation with Dr. Anees or our aesthetician, we will help you select the PCA Skin or Epionce formula that matches your skin needs. Factors to consider include your general health, skin type, desired peel depth, available recovery time, and any concerns about appearance. First-time patients are recommended to start with a lighter peel and adjust as needed.

Chemical Peel or Dermabrasion?

Both procedures correct surface irregularities to rejuvenate the skin. The main difference is that dermabrasion uses surgical tools to exfoliate, while a chemical peel uses a caustic solution to dissolve damaged skin cells. During your consultation, our team will help you determine which treatment best fits your skin goals.

Will My Face Hurt After a Chemical Peel?

Mild discomfort may occur during and shortly after your peel. Light peels may cause brief stinging, while medium and deep peels may cause greater discomfort. Topical anesthetics, skin medications, and ointments can minimize discomfort. Dr. Anees or our aesthetician will explain aftercare to extend your results.

Can I Combine a Chemical Peel With Other Treatments?

Yes, chemical peels can be combined with other treatments. During your consultation, our team will create a customized plan, which may include injectable wrinkle treatments such as Juvéderm or BOTOX to enhance your overall results.

Who Should Not Get a Chemical Peel?

Chemical peels may not be suitable for everyone. Those who should typically avoid chemical peels include:

  • Individuals with active skin infections, such as herpes simplex virus
  • Those with a dark complexion may risk post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
  • Pregnant or nursing individuals
  • Those who have taken isotretinoin in the past six months
