Chemical Peels

IN LONG BEACH, CA AND SERVING LA, ORANGE COUNTY AND SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

Professional chemical peels are luxury cosmetic treatments that involve one of our professionally licensed skin experts applying a clinically formulated chemical solution to your face—or another part of your body, as per your needs. By deeply and safely exfoliating the topmost superficial layers of your skin, a chemical peel could reveal fresh, healthy, and radiantly younger-looking skin.

Your Consultation for a Chemical Peel

During your initial consultation for a chemical peel in Long Beach, our professionally licensed medical team will:

  • We could help you create a customized solution to treat any of your superficial skin concerns.
  • Perform a complete skin assessment
  • Determine your skin’s unique needs and concerns
  • Develop an ideal chemical peel strategy for your skin

Many of our Long Beach patients ask us when the best time is for a chemical peel treatment. The full effects of your chemical peel treatment take some time to show—your results will be most visible after the one-week mark. To give your skin adequate time to heal, we recommend obtaining your treatment at least two weeks before any special event.

What Does a Chemical Peel Treat?

Our chemical peels target the most common skin concerns, including signs of aging and uneven skin texture and tone. Treating your skin to professional chemical peels at our Long Beach office is one of the most effective ways to treat a variety of skin concerns, including:

  • Damaged skin
  • Signs of aging
  • Skin discoloration
  • Hyperpigmentation
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Scarring and acne scarring
  • Uneven skin texture and tone
  • Superficial skin imperfections
  • Environmental and UV damage

Chemical peels also stimulate collagen and elastin production in the skin, keeping it firm and bouncy. With our clinical-strength chemical peels, you can enjoy smooth, dewy, even-toned, and luminous skin.

Though our patients generally approach us for facial chemical peels, we also specialize in chemical peels for the neck and hands. Our chemical peels target the signs of aging and uneven skin tone and texture in these often neglected—yet highly visible—areas.

How to Prepare for a Chemical Peel

From our years of experience, here is what we generally recommend to our patients:

  • Do not exfoliate the treatment area before your chemical peel appointment
  • Do not use anti-aging or anti-acne medications for at least 72 hours before your appointment
  • Stay hydrated—not only should you drink water, but you should also follow a skincare regimen provided by one of our highly trained medical estheticians

These are general guidelines. During your initial chemical peel consultation in Long Beach, you will receive more personalized directions—be sure to follow them for the best results.

What is Recovery Like After the Procedure?

Aftercare is one of the most important ways to enjoy your beautiful chemical peel results. Be sure that you:

  • Avoid touching the treatment area for at least 24 hours
  • Use provided skincare recommendations
  • Avoid the sun and always wear SPF
  • Avoid workouts while your skin heals
  • Avoid dry saunas and steam rooms while your skin heals
  • Do not exfoliate your skin while your skin is healing
  • Do not apply anti-aging or anti-acne products to your skin while it heals

Follow all the guidelines set forth by our medical team for optimal results following a chemical peel treatment in Long Beach.
