Your skin is one of the first things people notice and the first to reveal signs of aging, stress, and environmental damage. At Access Medspa Rejuvenate in Lanham, Maryland, we believe healthy, glowing skin is possible at any age with the right treatments. Among our advanced rejuvenation options, chemical peels provide a safe, non-invasive way to refresh your complexion, revealing smoother, brighter, and more radiant skin.
Don’t let uneven tone, wrinkles, and acne scars dull your skin and confidence. Chemical peels can help you rediscover your healthy, luminous glow.
What is a chemical peel?
A chemical peel is a skin resurfacing treatment that uses a specially formulated solution to eliminate the damaged outer layers of the skin gently. This controlled exfoliation process stimulates the body’s natural healing response, encouraging the growth of new, healthier skin cells. As the treated skin peels away, fresh skin underneath is revealedāsmoother in texture, more even in tone, and often with fewer visible fine lines, sun damage, or acne scars.
At Access Medspa Rejuvenate, we can customize your chemical peels in strength (superficial, medium, or deep) depending on your skin concerns and goals. This makes skin peels a versatile option for skin rejuvenation with minimal downtime.
What skin concerns can chemical peels address?
Chemical peels are an excellent fit if you want to:
- Smooth, rough, or uneven skin
- Reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Brighten dull-looking skin
- Minimize the appearance of enlarged pores
- Address mild to moderate acne scars
- Treat sun damage and uneven pigmentation
We see patients of all agesāfrom young professionals managing breakouts to adults looking for non-surgical skin rejuvenation. Since every skin type is different, we start with a detailed evaluation to recommend the safest and most effective peel for you.
What should I expect from chemical peel treatment?
First, we’ll assess your skin and discuss your aesthetic goals and concerns. Once your peel is selected, we gently cleanse and prep your skin so the solution absorbs evenly. As the peel is applied, you might feel a slight warmth or tinglingāthis is normal and usually mild. Depending on the formula, it will either be neutralized after a few minutes or left to work independently. Treatment typically takes 30-45 minutes, depending on the peel depth.
Many patients notice improvements after one peel, but several sessions are needed to yield the best results. We’ll create a personalized treatment plan to achieve the best outcomes.
Will I experience any downtime?
It depends on the type of chemical peel you receive.
- Light peels: Expect minimal to no downtime. For a few days, you might notice mild redness, dryness, or light flaking. Most people return to work or daily activities right away.
- Medium peels: Expect some redness, peeling, and sensitivity for about 5ā7 days as the skin sheds old layers and renews itself.
- Deep peels: These involve more intensive resurfacing so that recovery can take 2 weeks or longer. Redness and peeling are more noticeable, and downtime is needed.
In all cases, your skin will be more sensitive to heat exposure, so sun protection and gentle skin care are essential after treatment.
