Get the luminous skin you deserve.
When you’re dealing with aging skin, acne, melasma, hyperpigmentation, or other recurring skin problems, you may need some help to uncover the healthy skin hiding below the surface. Chemical peels encourage skin cell regeneration while helping you shed dead and damaged skin cells. At Flawless Med Spa & Wellness, friendly aesthetics experts customize your chemical peels in Albuquerque & Rio Rancho for your needs and lifestyle.
Chemical peels are medical-grade chemical solutions applied to the skin. Chemical peels are acidic in quality and ‘burn off’ the topmost layer of damaged skin. When the affected skin peels, new, healthier skin grows back. Chemical peels can make the texture, tone, and clarity of the skin better.
Skin cell turnover is important in helping to manage acne, melasma, and aging facial skin. When a skin cell is created, it is located in the lower layers of the epidermis and travels to the surface layer over the course of its life. Once the matured cells reach the top, they arrive at the end of their lives and are shed. The regeneration of new cells and the shedding process is what prevent dead cells from building up on the surface.
This is important because as we age, skin cell turnover slows down significantly. As babies, our cells regenerate every 2 weeks. However, by the time we get to 25, the rate slows to 30-35 days. This slowdown is natural; however, there are many things we can do to help our bodies increase cell turnover – a facial peel being one of them because they help the body regenerate.
Your skin will be noticeably smoother and clearer. Blemishes like acne scars, melasma, and types of skin discoloration will fade. Light wrinkles will be less noticeable. Effects vary based on the specific type of chemical peel used.

We recommend that patients give their skin a rest and refrain from exercising for 36-48 hours. The area that was treated may be red and feel dry. This reaction is normal. After the treatment, we will apply NeoCutis Hyalis and Elta MD Sunscreen. Some people will start to peel 2-3 days after their treatment and new skin will start to form 4-7 days after the peel.

What do chemical peels treat?
A chemical peel may cause a tingling or stinging sensation during the procedure, but this discomfort is usually mild and temporary. The intensity of the sensation can vary based on the strength of the peel. Some deeper peels may require a numbing agent to enhance comfort.
The frequency of chemical peels depends on the type of peel and your skin's condition. Light peels can be repeated every 4-6 weeks for maintenance, while medium or deep peels might only be recommended every few months or even annually.
Chemical peels are generally safe when performed by a qualified professional. However, potential risks include redness, peeling, and increased sensitivity to sunlight. In rare cases, more serious side effects like scarring or changes in skin pigmentation may occur, particularly with deeper peels. However, we take all possible measures to mitigate these risks.
Chemical peels are versatile treatments used to address various skin concerns, including fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin texture. They work by removing the damaged outer layers of skin, promoting the growth of new, healthier skin cells.
