The best Chemical Peel in San Antonio for your skin type depends on your aesthetic concerns and your skin condition. The renowned skincare clinicians at the San Antonio Cosmetic Surgery MedSpa are well versed in all types of chemical peels and proper application techniques. With personalized guidance from a dedicated skincare specialist, you can easily find the right peel for your skin's particular needs.
Your private consultation at San Antonio Cosmetic Surgery begins with discussing your aesthetic concerns and goals. Your provider will also conduct a thorough skin analysis to determine your skin type and conditions. This process allows them to select the ideal Chemical Peel ingredients and strength for your unique needs. While nearly all skin types can benefit from chemical peels, they may suggest alternatives to chemical peels or combined treatments for best effects.
After choosing what type and depth of Chemical Peel is best for your skin, the area will be thoroughly cleansed. Your professional will determine how strong of a chemical solution will be appropriate— a stronger chemical will be chosen for a deeper peel. Next, a solution of one or more chemicals is applied to the area and left for however long is needed, depending on the depth of the peel. You may experience some burning or stinging sensation during this time and may be administered some pain medication. After the appropriate amount of time, the chemicals may be rinsed and neutralized, and additional steps to moisturize and soothe the delicate skin may take place during a deeper peel.
Depending on the level of your peel, recovery may be anywhere from one to two weeks. The treated area may feel similar to sunburn, with flaking and peeling occurring as the skin heals, as well as some swelling. A deep chemical peel may require painkillers and rest from certain activities, as the skin is sensitive and prone to infection during this time. Any chemical peel will leave the skin sensitive to sunlight during healing, and sunscreen should be used regularly.
Since your skin is vital in keeping out harmful materials, any chemical peel carries a risk of scarring and infection. The process creates a wound that will need to heal with careful treatment. Be sure to follow any steps given by your professional. Depending on the level of your peel and how many chemical peels are done as apart of your treatment plan, your results may vary. The treatment will leave your skin smooth and radiant, as a completely new layer of skin takes the place of the old. Your Chemical Peel treatment is best complimented with one of our medical grade skincare regimens.

Chemical peels provide lasting improvement, anywhere from a few months to a decade, depending on the strength of the peel. The initial healing process, which lasts anywhere from a few days to several weeks (again, variable based on the peel strength), is well worth the longevity of results.
It is safe to have light and medium-depth peels every few weeks. The strongest Chemical Peels may only require a single treatment to accomplish your desired results.
While most clients note improvements in skin quality after one peel, most clients do best with a series of peels. This is because the results of skin peeling are cumulative and get better with time.
Both treatments exfoliate the outermost skin layers, although their mechanism of action differs. Microdermabrasion uses tiny crystals sprayed over the skin to physically abrade the uppermost dead cells, revealing a brighter, softer skin tone. Chemical Peels use skin-safe chemical exfoliants to break apart and dissolve the bonds between the dull, dead skin cells to unveil the renewed, healthy skin hidden underneath.
Chemical Peels for acne scars can yield a smoother skin texture and lift away uneven pigmentation that is left behind after acne breakouts. Peels can even clear congested pores to prevent future blemishes.
