Uneven tone, sun damage, and acne scars are among the most common concerns people have about their skin. Over-the-counter creams may help to a point, but they usually can’t deliver the deeper renewal you want.
Chemical peels refresh your skin by removing the outermost layers of dull, damaged cells and encouraging healthier growth underneath.
At ALFA Med Spa in Columbus, OH, Leyla Aliyeva, FNP-S, and her team customize each peel to your skin type and goals, with options ranging from light to deeper strengths.
What Are Chemical Peels?
Chemical peels use safe, carefully applied solutions to exfoliate the top layers of skin.
These solutions often contain active ingredients such as alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) like glycolic or lactic acid, beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) such as salicylic acid, or trichloroacetic acid (TCA). Each of these works at different depths to smooth texture and brighten dull skin.
Lighter peels refresh the surface and target concerns like mild discoloration or clogged pores, while medium and deeper peels reach farther into the skin to soften wrinkles, improve acne scars, and stimulate collagen production.
Benefits of Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are versatile and effective, offering benefits like:
- Brighter, more even skin tone
- Softer fine lines and wrinkles
- Reduction in acne and acne scarring
- Improved texture and smoothness
- Fading of dark spots and sun damage
Because peels stimulate new cell growth, the results improve as your skin continues to heal.
Types of Peels
While at-home exfoliants work only on the surface, professional peels come in varying strengths:
- Light Peels: Gentle exfoliation for a quick refresh.
- Medium Peels: Address pigmentation, mild scarring, and deeper lines.
- Deeper Peels: More intensive results for advanced signs of aging or stubborn discoloration.
During your consultation, the ALFA team will help determine which level is right for you.
What to Expect During and After
A peel typically takes under an hour. You may feel mild tingling or warmth during application, but discomfort is minimal. Afterward, your skin may flake or peel for several days, depending on the peel strength. Results become noticeable as fresh skin is revealed, usually within one to two weeks.
