If you’re looking for a skincare treatment that tackles concerns like fine lines, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and sun damage, chemical peels might be the solution that works for you. At NM Aesthetics in Arlington, VA, we specialize in chemical peels designed to rejuvenate your skin and leave you glowing with confidence. Here’s everything you need to know about this effective treatment.

What Is a Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel is a skin treatment that uses a customized chemical solution to exfoliate the top layer of your skin. Depending on the type and strength of the peel, it can address a variety of concerns by removing dead skin cells and stimulating collagen production, revealing smoother, clearer, and healthier skin underneath.

Why Choose a Chemical Peel?

Chemical peels are a versatile treatment with a range of benefits. Whether you’re looking to rejuvenate your complexion or target specific issues, chemical peels can help:

• Minimize Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Boost collagen production for a smoother, more youthful appearance.
• Brighten and Even Skin Tone: Fade hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and discoloration, including melasma.
• Improve Acne and Acne Scarring: Reduce active breakouts, unclog pores, and soften the appearance of scars.
• Refresh Overall Skin Texture: Achieve softer, smoother skin with fewer visible imperfections.

If you’re struggling with concerns like aging skin, uneven tone, acne scars, or melasma, a chemical peel can provide a noticeable improvement tailored to your unique needs.

Pre-Care and Post-Care for a Chemical Peel

Proper preparation and aftercare are essential for maximizing the results of your chemical peel.

Before Your Peel:

• Avoid exfoliating products, retinoids, and strong active ingredients like AHAs or BHAs for at least 5 days before your appointment.
• Stay hydrated and use sunscreen daily to protect your skin leading up to the treatment.
• Discuss any medications, skin sensitivities, or allergies with your provider to ensure the best results.

After Your Peel:

• Expect some redness, peeling, or flaking as your skin regenerates—this is normal!
• Keep your skin moisturized with a gentle, hydrating product recommended by your provider.
• Avoid direct sun exposure and apply SPF diligently to protect your skin as it heals.
• Hold off on exfoliating or harsh skincare products until your provider advises it’s safe to resume.
