Skin Concerns Treated With Chemical Peels

By employing a strategic blend of chemical solutions, these skin resuracing treatments target and alleviate various dermatological issues. Below is an enumeration of skin concerns that can be effectively managed through chemical peels:

How Chemical Peels Work

Chemical peels use a carefully selected chemical solution, often containing alpha-hydroxy acids or other exfoliating ingredients, to remove damaged cells from the skin’s surface and encourage healthy cell renewal. Peels range from superficial treatments that provide gentle exfoliation to deeper treatments that address more noticeable skin concerns and require additional recovery. As the treated outer layers shed, smoother, brighter, and more even-looking skin is revealed underneath.

Chemical Peels Offered at Our Albany Medspa

At Spa One, we trust peels by PCA SKIN® to give our clients the results they desire. Our selection of PCA SKIN peels includes, but is not limited to, the following:

Sensi Peel® is unique among chemical peels in that it’s appropriate for clients who have very sensitive skin. With ingredients including lactic acid, trichloroacetic acid (TCA), Vitamin C, and kojic acid, this peel improves skin texture and brightness.

Ultra Peel® 1 is made especially for mature or dehydrated skin, although it can also be used to treat other skin concerns. The Ultra Peel 1 typically achieves a mild to moderate level of exfoliation, leaving skin plump and glowing with youthful vitality.

Ultra Peel® 2 is intended to be used as a “booster” to other peels. Formulated with retinol and Vitamin C, this creamy mask delivers intense hydration to the skin’s deeper layers. By encouraging additional peeling, the Ultra Peel 2 can maximize the results of your selected peel.

Esthetique® Peel can be administered alone or in tandem with another peel. Using a combination of lactic acid, Vitamin A, antioxidants, and humectants, Esthetique Peel promotes an even tone and a firmer texture while brightening skin.

PCA Peel® is a type of Jessner’s peel that addresses discoloration. The PCA Peel is formulated with hydroquinone, a powerful skin brightener. However, it is also available without hydroquinone for clients who are sensitive to this potent ingredient. The PCA Peel is also available with resorcinol, a flaking agent that enhances results for clients with oily or thick skin. Other active ingredients include salicylic acid for a clear complexion and lactic acid for deep moisture.

Your Chemical Peel Session

A typical chemical peel appointment lasts anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the type of peel and the areas being treated. One of our highly trained estheticians will then cleanse the treatment area before carefully applying the selected chemical solution to the skin for a predetermined amount of time. Clients may experience a tingling or warming sensation during the application, which is normal and indicates the active ingredients are at work.

Post-Peel Treatment Care and Skin Resurfacing Results

Recovery after a chemical peel depends on the strength and type of peel you receive. Some lighter peels require little to no downtime, while deeper treatments may involve several days of visible peeling or sensitivity as the skin renews itself. During recovery, it is especially important to protect your skin from sun exposure, use a broad-spectrum sunscreen, and follow a gentle, hydrating skincare routine. Your esthetician will provide personalized aftercare instructions based on your peel and skin type.

As the exfoliation process is completed, clients can expect smoother, brighter, and more even-looking skin, although results vary depending on the concerns being treated and the depth of the peel. Spa One uses PCA SKIN chemical peels designed to provide noticeable improvements while minimizing discomfort and downtime. We can also recommend an at-home skincare regimen to nourish and protect your skin and help maintain your results between treatments.
