Chemical Peels in Los Angeles

Use mild acids such as alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) to gently exfoliate the outer layer of skin. Best for subtle rejuvenation and minor imperfections.

Employ trichloroacetic acid (TCA) or stronger AHAs to target deeper layers, reducing moderate wrinkles, pigmentation issues, and acne scars.

Penetrate to the lower dermal layers, providing more dramatic results for advanced aging signs, severe scarring, or pronounced discoloration. These peels typically involve a longer recovery period and are suitable for patients seeking maximum correction.

A personalized evaluation helps us understand your objectives, medical history, and skin characteristics. This step ensures we select the appropriate chemical peel strength and formula.

Your skin may be prepped with cleansers or priming solutions to ensure an even peel. In some cases, you might be advised to follow a specific skincare regimen in the weeks leading up to treatment.

The chosen chemical solution is carefully applied and left on the skin for a set duration, allowing it to penetrate and initiate exfoliation. Throughout this stage, our team monitors your comfort level and adjusts as necessary.

After the peel works, the solution may be neutralized or left to self-neutralize. Our staff provides detailed aftercare instructions, advising on moisturizers, gentle cleansers, and sun protection. In the event of mild redness or flaking, these typically resolve within days to a week.
