How Do Chemical Peels Work?

Cosmetic treatments at Inland Institute Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery begin with a comprehensive assessment of the patient's facial skin, concerns, and cosmetic objectives. Dr. Gilbert, our expert oral and maxillofacial surgeon, tailors each treatment plan to achieve a rejuvenated and balanced appearance that aligns with the patient’s goals.

On the day of the procedure, the skin is thoroughly cleansed, and a chemical solution is carefully applied to the targeted areas. This solution works by exfoliating the outer layers of skin, which stimulates cell turnover and collagen production. Depending on the depth of the peel, the solution may be left on the skin for varying amounts of time to achieve the desired level of exfoliation and rejuvenation.

Following the application, the chemical solution is neutralized and removed. Patients may experience mild redness and peeling as the skin heals and regenerates, revealing a smoother, more even-toned complexion. Post-treatment care instructions, including the use of moisturizers and sunscreen, are provided to support healing and enhance results.

What is the Best Type of Chemical Peel?

The type of chemical peel recommended for you depends on your condition. Treatment options include:

Light Peels

Light peels, also known as superficial peels, are ideal for individuals looking to refresh their skin without significant downtime. These peels typically utilize mild acids, such as alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs), to exfoliate the outermost layer of skin.

Benefits of Light Chemical Peels

• Gentle Exfoliation: These peels help remove dead skin cells, revealing a brighter and smoother complexion without deep penetration.
• Minimal Downtime: Due to their gentleness, recovery from a light peel is quick—patients can often return to their normal activities within a day.
• Improvement in Skin Texture: Light peels can effectively address mild acne, sun damage, and uneven skin tone, making them suitable for individuals with less severe concerns.
• Safe for Most Skin Types: They are generally well-tolerated by various skin types, including sensitive skin.

Who Should Consider Light Chemical Peels?

Light peels are perfect for individuals who are new to chemical peels or those looking to maintain their skin's health and appearance. They are also a good option for people with mild signs of aging or those

Medium Peels

Medium peels penetrate deeper into the skin compared to light peels and typically utilize trichloroacetic acid (TCA) or glycolic acid. This layer of peel targets the mid-dermis, making it an effective option for those looking to tackle moderate skin concerns.

Benefits of Medium Peels

• Enhanced Exfoliation: Medium-depth peels remove damaged skin cells from both the surface and the upper layers of the dermis, leading to significant improvements in skin texture and tone.
• Reduced Appearance of Wrinkles: This type of peel can help diminish fine lines and wrinkles, giving the skin a more youthful appearance.
• Effective for Acne and Scarring: Medium chemical peels can also be beneficial in treating active acne and minimizing the appearance of acne scars, making them a versatile option for various skin types.
• Longer-Lasting Results: The effects of medium-depth peels tend to last longer than those of light peels, providing deeper rejuvenation and improved skin quality.

Who Should Consider Medium Peels?

Medium chemical peels are suited for individuals with more pronounced skin concerns, including pigmentation issues.

Deep Peels

Deep peels are the most intense form of facial peels, designed to treat severe skin problems and bring about significant rejuvenation. Typically utilizing powerful agents such as phenol, deep peels penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin and require more care during the recovery phase.

Benefits of Deep Chemical Peels

• Dramatic Results: Deep peels can provide remarkable changes in skin texture and appearance, smoothing deep wrinkles, removing severe blemishes, and dramatically enhancing skin tightness.
• Long-Term Improvement: The results from a deep peel are often long-lasting, with some patients experiencing improvements that last several years.
• Treats Multiple Concerns: This type of peel is highly effective for stubborn issues such as extensive sun damage, deep acne scars, and pronounced pigmentation irregularities.
• Stimulates Collagen Production: The deeper penetration into the skin stimulates new collagen growth, contributing to ongoing skin improvements even after the peeling process is complete.

Who Should Consider Deep Chemical Peels?

Deep peels are ideal for individuals with significant skin damage or those looking for extensive corrective results. Candidates may include individuals with mature skin.
