Skin Concerns That Chemical Peels Can Help Improve

Peel season is upon us once again, and it’s a good time to make yourself familiar with the rejuvenating power of a great chemical peel! Today, we’ll talk about the various skin concerns that we like to address with chemical peels at Coco Med Spa. Read along to find out if a peel just might become your new favorite skincare service!

What skin conditions can chemical peels address?

Although each person’s needs are different, chemical peels are most commonly known for addressing concerns like acne, discoloration, uneven texture, and early signs of aging. Lifestyle factors like sun exposure and willingness to commit to regular sunscreen use may also be considered to avoid unnecessary risk of future skin concerns. Lastly, all your current skincare treatments will be taken into consideration to ensure the right combination of treatments for you is being used. 

Are other treatments required with chemical peels?

Having more than one type of skincare treatment done is not a requirement of any chemical peel. However, depending on your skincare concerns and goals, other facial treatments might be recommended in conjunction with a series of chemical peels. For example, skin concerns like deep acne scarring, laxity, or chronic inflammation often need a combination of treatments to create lasting improvement rather than just chemical peels alone. In these cases, services like microneedling, barrier repair, or corrective home care play a bigger role and are recommended. Make no mistake, chemical peels can still be helpful and impactful but they work best as part of a larger skincare plan.

Is everyone a candidate for a chemical peel?

While nearly everyone is a candidate for one type of peel or another, not everyone is a candidate for every peel. Peels like BioRePeel are safe for all skin types and are even safe for candidates in sunny, outdoor areas, as it is not a photosensitive peel. However, you should still stick to daily sunscreen use no matter what! Other peels are limited based on safety for certain skin types or how much downtime is required after the peel. As always, at Coco Med Spa, we customize your treatment plan to your needs and desired skin results. Our recommendations will always be with your best outcome in mind.
