Eliminate Signs of Aging and Damaged Skin With Chemical Peels in Austin

Since the outermost layers of skin are where many fine lines, signs of sun damage, and numerous other cosmetic problems are seen, removing these layers is a simple and effective way to rejuvenate the entire face. A chemical peel administered by our team at Austin Cosmetic Medspa is a non-surgical treatment that exfoliates away dead skin cells to reveal younger, clearer skin and stimulates the natural healing processes that continue to revitalize the area long after the treatment is done.

What Is a Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel is a popular type of non-invasive cosmetic treatment in which a special chemical solution is applied to the outer layer of facial skin. The chemical peel sloughs away the outer layer of damaged skin, revealing the healthier, smoother layer that’s hidden beneath it. Chemical peels can be used to treat a wide range of cosmetic skin issues, such as fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and many more. At Austin Cosmetic Medspa, we offer several high-quality chemical peel treatments:

Jessner Chemical Peel - $150

The Jessner Chemical Peel uses a full-strength blend of lactic acid, salicylic acid, and resorcinol that breaks up the bonds that hold dead skin cells together to chemically exfoliate the skin for a softer feel and brighter appearance. After two days of dryness, a light flaking of the skin begins and lasts for about three days, revealing fresh skin. This treatment is ideal for darker skin types, oily and acne-prone skin, and for anyone looking for an advanced exfoliation treatment with little downtime.

TCA Chemical Peel - $300

In a TCA Chemical peel, trichloracetic acid is used for a deeper level of exfoliation to treat stubborn aging concerns for dramatic results. After two to three days of dry, tight skin, sheet peeling occurs for three to six days. The peeling process reveals smoother, brighter, and more even-toned skin and diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This treatment is ideal for those who want to address sun damage, hyperpigmentation, or acne scars.

  • Enhanced skin tone and texture

Chemical Peel Recovery and Aftercare

Typically, patients can resume their normal routines and return to work immediately after chemical peel treatment. However, you may experience some mild skin redness, dryness, swelling, and soreness after the procedure. Some patients choose to stay home for a couple of days while their skin is healing. You may be able to alleviate the side effects by periodically applying a cold pack to your face or treating the skin with a protective ointment. 

Who Is a Good Candidate for a Chemical Peel?

Adults who are seeking non-surgical skin rejuvenation could be good candidates for a chemical peel in Austin. Typically, these treatments are an effective choice for individuals dealing with signs of facial aging and other skin imperfections.
