What Are Chemical Peels?

A chemical peel is a professional exfoliation technique that uses specialized solutions to remove damaged outer layers of skin, stimulating new cell growth and collagen production. Peels are applied with varying strengths, determined by the specific needs of your skin. We may suggest a mild peel, which will refresh your skin without causing peeling, resulting in a beautiful glow for your upcoming event. Alternatively, we recommend a stronger peel, which may require downtime due to the extent of peeling. Those who undergo a chemical peel will not necessarily experience peeling.

Some of our Chemical Peel options include:

  • VI Peel
  • BioRePeel
  • SkinCeuticals TCA Peel
  • SkinCeuticals Advanced Corrective Peel
  • SkinCeuticals MicroPeels

From Surface-Level Refinement to Cellular Renewal

What Is the Chemical Peels Procedure Like?

When you visit Belle Vie for a chemical peel, you will receive treatment from a professionally trained staff member committed to improving your skin. You will receive a thorough explanation of your chemical peel, including what to expect throughout the process and during the healing period, as well as a timeline for when you can enjoy your final results. Appropriate chemical solutions will be applied to the area of your skin being treated. This will trigger your skin to exfoliate and peel off, revealing the new skin underneath and the rejuvenated look that you are seeking.

What Are the Benefits of Chemical Peels?

A chemical peel can offer a range of benefits for your skin. Here are some of the key advantages:

  • Improves Skin Texture and Tone: Smooths out rough skin and evens out skin tone by removing dead skin cells and encouraging new cell growth.
  • Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, especially those caused by sun damage and aging, by exfoliating the top layers of skin
  • Fades Hyperpigmentation: Lightens dark spots, age spots, and melasma by removing pigmented skin cells and promoting a more uniform skin tone.
  • Clears Acne: Helps unclog pores and reduce acne lesions by removing dead skin cells and bacteria from the skin’s surface.
  • Minimizes Scarring: Improves the appearance of acne scars and other types of skin scars by promoting the regeneration of new, healthy skin.
  • Enhances Radiance: Leaves your skin looking brighter and more radiant by removing the outer layer of dead skin cells
  • Improves Skin Hydration: Removes the uppermost layer of dry skin, helping improve the skin’s ability to absorb moisturizers and other skincare products.
  • Stimulates Collagen Production: Some types of peels, particularly medium and deep peels, can stimulate collagen production, which helps to firm and tighten the skin.
  • Reduces Sun Damage: Helps mitigate some of the visible effects of sun damage, such as uneven pigmentation and texture issues.

Safe, Personalized Treatments

Am I a Candidate for a Chemical Peel?

Most patients seeking smoother, brighter skin are excellent candidates. During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your skin type, current skincare routine, and desired results. Those with active skin infections or certain medical conditions may need to delay treatment. Our team will recommend the ideal peel depth and schedule for your individual needs.

Protect, Hydrate, and Reveal

Chemical Peel Recovery

After your treatment, you may experience mild redness or flaking for a few days (depending on peel strength). It’s important to keep your skin hydrated and protected with a medical-grade sunscreen.

At Belle Vie, we offer an extensive line of skin care products, including sun protection, that we have carefully curated to provide our clients with the best. We offer a variety of sunscreen options from reputable brands such as SkinCeuticals and EltaMD.
