Chemical Peels
Skin Rejuvenation and Anti-Aging
Chemical Peels are one of the best solutions to many skin concerns and jump start your anti-aging protocols.
Reveal your best skin
Chemical peels are a great way to revitalize your skin and reduce skin imperfections including dark spots, fine lines and rough skin texture. Chemical Peels in our Alpharetta MedSpa can be performed once per month if needed. Skin imperfections make us appear older can reduce self-confidence. By revitalizing your skin with chemical peels, these skin imperfections are improved or completely removed in some cases. By assisting your body to remove the outer layers of skin that are causing the visible imperfections, your new refreshed skin underneath is revealed. If you are ready to see a renewed and rejuvenated appearance when you look in the mirror, chemical peels could be just the solution.
How Do Chemical Peels Work to Renew Skin?
Your skin naturally sheds layers as it replenishes itself each day. Skin cells grow from the deepest layers up to the surface and then shed into the environment. This process naturally occurs every day. As we age, the growth rate of new skin cells slows down and the shedding process slows. This can leave you with dull appearing skin as the upper layers remain longer.
Skin imperfections like dark sun or age spots are hyperpigmentation from the melanin in the skin layers. Chemical peels can reduce the appearance of these dark spots by helping to shed the layers and reveal the new skin underneath. Chemical peels can help with pore size, blemishes, clogged pores and other skin issues too. By removing the top surface layer of skin, your own body will produce new skin cells and reveal the natural, rejuvenated skin underneath.
Chemical Peels For Anti-Aging
Chemical peels are a powerful part of anti-aging protocols. By helping your skin renew itself faster, younger appearing and behaving skin is revealed. Your skin looks and feels more hydrated and glowing, fine lines and dark pigment are reduced and overall your skin just looks more youthful.
There are many types of chemical peels available. The brand we offer at Sculpted Contours Medpa is SkinMedica®. This company produces a high quality medical grade skin care line and medical grade chemical peel options. We love it because one of their main ingredients is RETINOL!
Retinol based skin care is the gold standard for anti-aging. These chemical peels incorporate a layer of retinol on your skin to penetrate deep and give all the skin healing benefits with each peel. Who doesn’t want high dose retinol on their skin?
With a series of chemical peels your skin can begin to look, feel and behave like younger skin again.

What Can You Expect During A Chemical Peel?
Once the chemical peel treatment is started, our clinical team will wash your face to remove any makeup, dirt or oils. This includes several passes to ensure best results from the chemical peel. The skin prep and peeling solutions are applied in multiple layers one at a time. If you are having a Vitalize or Rejuvenize Peel, the final step will be to apply a layer of Retinol. After that, Sunscreen will be applied to your face and you are free to leave.
What Will Your Skin Look Like After Your Chemical Peel?
Immediately after your chemical peel, your skin may be slightly pink and you may feel a stinging sensation that can last a few minutes. With the two peels that include Retinol, your skin will appear a slight orange color which can last a few hours before it fades. You will not wash your face until later in the day to evening depending on the time of your treatment.
