FAQs

Is a chemical peel right for me?

Our chemical peels can treat:
- acne
- fine lines and wrinkles
- poor complexion

If you’re relatively young, you might choose a peel that helps reduce the signs and symptoms of acne. If you’re a little older, a chemical peel can help you treat age spots, fine lines and wrinkles.

How chemical peels work
The process for applying a chemical peel is actually quite simple and often takes as little as 15 minutes. First, your skin will be carefully cleansed. Next, the chemical peel solution will be applied to your face. For some patients, treatment may also be done on the neck and chest.
The chemical solution will penetrate the skin and work for a short time before it is removed. If necessary, your aesthetician may recommend more than one chemical peel to provide satisfactory results.

What are the different chemical peels offered at Coachlight Clinic & Spa?
We offer a variety of different peels to meet any skin type, budget and downtime for the patient. We offer a glycolic acid rejuvenating mask, the Obagi Radiance peel, and medical-grade SkinMedica peels, which are medium-deep peels that primarily contain salicylic acid. They are self-neutralizing peels which are gentle but provide results. There is minimal to no downtime with these peels as well.

What will my skin feel like after a chemical peel?
The skin will begin to flake and peel after your treatment. In a few days, the dead, dull skin cells on the surface will be gone and fresh skin is then revealed. After a light chemical peel, downtime and skin flaking is minimal.
Still, it’s important to follow the aesthetician’s post-treatment instructions. Remember to apply sun protection every day.
