If your skin looks dull, blotchy or rough no matter how well you take care of it, the problem may be a buildup of damaged cells on the surface. Chemical peels in Springville, UT remove that layer so fresher, more even skin can come through.
A peel is a solution applied to the skin that loosens and lifts away the outer layer in a controlled way. Our peels range from gentle with no downtime to stronger treatments for sun damage, pigment and acne.
When You Need a Chemical Peel
Peels help with brown spots and uneven tone from sun exposure, dull or tired-looking skin, fine lines, rough texture, enlarged pores, mild acne and the marks acne leaves behind. A body peel can treat breakouts, pigment and rough skin on the back, chest, arms or legs.
Utah’s sun and dry air make these problems common. Fall and winter are good times to start a series of peels, when you are spending less time in strong sun.
People on prescription retinoids or acne medicines should mention them first. Your esthetician will adjust the peel strength around them.
Our Chemical Peel Options and Process
Our menu includes a basic chemical peel customized to your skin, an advanced chemical peel for more visible change, an advanced acne treatment that includes extractions and Blu-U light, a body blemish peel, a medical peel plus, and The Glow Peel for brightness with little downtime. Stronger peels may require a short course of home-care products first, approved by an esthetician.
At your visit, your skin is cleansed, the peel is applied and timed, and then it is neutralized or removed. Most peels take less than an hour. Light peels may cause mild redness for a day; stronger peels lead to flaking or peeling over several days.
Many concerns improve most with a series of peels spaced a few weeks apart, plus daily sunscreen to protect your results.
Aftercare matters as much as the peel itself. Don’t pick or pull at peeling skin; let it shed on its own. Use a gentle cleanser and moisturizer, pause retinoids and exfoliants for the days your esthetician recommends, and wear broad-spectrum sunscreen every day. Avoid hot tubs, saunas and hard workouts for a day or two after a stronger peel. Following these steps helps you get the best result with the least irritation.
