Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are made of a range of different nutrients and acids. The most common are glycolic peels, but there are also trichloroacetic, lactic, carbolic, and salicylic peels. These variants all act as exfoliating agents, ridding your skin of dead cells and debris. The main differences among them are their intensity and moisture levels. It takes an evaluation to determine which individualized skin peel is best for your specific needs. We welcome you to schedule your free consultation at our Twin Falls medical spa to discover your ideal peel today.

The Vi Peel treatments offered at Fresh Aesthetics work with a special blend of safe but powerful acids to thoroughly exfoliate your outer skin layers. Your treatment can be completed in as little as 20 minutes and, if necessary, it can be repeated as often as every month to achieve satisfying results. If you’ve been wanting to mitigate fine lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores, uneven skin tone and texture, hyperpigmentation, acne, and scarring from previous breakouts, the VI Peel may be a perfect treatment for you. In most cases, the best results are achieved if the peel is part of a series of 3-4 treatments.

Chemical peels are a super safe method for exfoliating the skin and rejuvenating your look! Most of the peels available at our center take only 15-30 minutes to apply. During your peel session, you may feel a slight burning and stinging sensation as the chemical peel does its job. This feeling usually lasts about 5-10 minutes and tends to be more severe depending on the intensity of your chosen peel. In some cases, you may leave with some mild irritation after a peel, but this side effect will subside after a short while.

Peels vary based on intensity. Mild peels, for example, offer a nice radiance and glow with no downtime. The best part of choosing a mild peel is that it can safely be repeated every four weeks. Medium and deep chemical peels can cause some irritation and slight swelling. Afterward, your skin will peel over a period of 7-14 days. This exfoliation process is completely normal! However, if you become concerned at any point, you are always welcome to reach out to our medical spa. As your skin goes through its renewal process, you’ll need to avoid direct sunlight for several months as your skin will be fragile and prone to irritation.
