Mild chemical peels can be done once a month to exfoliate the skin and improve skin texture. If you have acne prone skin or hyper pigmentation you should commit to a package of 5-10 peels in order to get the acne in control or to improve the discoloration. Depending on the skin condition, chemical peels can be combined with microdermabrasion or IPL for even better results.
This can vary from person to person, and the amount of sun damage you have. Many women will have monthly peels to start, then will maintain with every 3-6 months for the best results.
Our office utilizes a series of chemical peels to rejuvenate the skin. Melapeels are lighter chemical peels and are recommended once monthly x 3. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian
It all depends on the depth of the peel and your concern. Usually, you can expect once every two to four weeks, with lighter peels being more frequent.
Once the desired result has been achieved with a series of glycolic peels a maintenance peel every 2-3 months is recommended.If you are having stronger peels such as the VI peel, usually 1-2 treatments a year is ideal for maintaining your outcome. Maintaining your skin with your home regimen is important as well. Using a medical grade skin care line and SPF 30 will help to not only maintain your results but enhance them as well.
Chemical peels refresh the skin and get rid of sun damage so I recommend at least a yearly peel for everyone. Light chemical peels should be done every 3 months @ $250 each and medium peels done once a year at $500 each.
Thank you for your message! We typically recommend doing a chemical peel 3-4 times a year, based off of the downtime you are able to give. Typically your skin should be at its lightest skin color and you should be out of the sun while you are healing, which can be difficult during spring/summer months depending on where you live. I would recommend a consultation with a provider in your area for further information!

Thank you for your question! It depends on the reasons why you had the chemical peel treatment and what type of peeling you had. Also bear in mind that sun screens are the best for the protection of the skin to slow the aging process and hyperpigmentation. On average, many patients get their chemical peels 3-4 weeks apart. This can vary from person to person, and the amount of sun burn you may have. Many women will have monthly peels to start, then will maintain with every 3-6 months for the best results. Best of luck!

Hello, The down time for a peel varies quite a bit. Light chemical peels have essentially no downtime but do not change things much. Heavier peels make you look like your face is a mummy's face for a week or so. The results last depending upon how deeply the skin was treated. Light peel results...
