Feel Flawless With Chemical Peels
Sometimes, traditional at-home exfoliation doesn’t cut it to repair and energize your skin tone, texture, or scars. A chemical peel is a formulated blend of concentrated acids and enzymes that peel away the outermost layer of skin. This intense form of chemical exfoliation encourages your skin to regrow a healthy layer, free of fine lines, scars, discoloration, and more. The team at Refresh Dermatology is certified in PCA Skin chemical peels for optimal treatment that matches your goals and your skin concerns.

Treatments
At your appointment, your provider applies the chemical solution to your skin. You might feel a mild stinging while the solution reacts with the skin cells. After a few minutes, your provider washes away the solution from your face. Your skin may be red and swollen following the procedure; this is completely normal as the solution takes effect.

Results
The more intensive a chemical peel is, the more recovery it requires. Your team will provide you individualized post-care instructions after your peel, but until your skin heals, you should take precautions, such as avoiding exposure to the sun and exfoliating products in your skincare regimen.
Types of Chemical Peels
Superficial Peels
Best for patients with minor concerns, a superficial peel treats the skin on the surface to brighten complexion and soothe rough skin.
Medium Peels
A medium peel exfoliates both the middle and top layers of the skin to alleviate deeper imperfections, such as dark spots, sun damage, and scars.
Deep Peels
As the most intensive chemical peel, a deep peel treats the most layers to address wrinkles, fine lines, and severe acne scars.

Frequently Asked Questions About Chemical Peels in Houston
Your provider will give you more exact instructions, but typically, we give you ointments and moisturizers to apply to the treated area. You may not be able to wear makeup for several days, and your skin might blister and peel similar to a sunburn.
You’ll see results once your skin heals, but superficial chemical peels in Houston may require 3 to 5 treatments for the results you’re looking for. Medium peels might need 2 to 3 treatments. Because of the intensity of a deep peel, results will last longer, and you should only receive one treatment every two to three years.
