Chemical Peels

Chemical peel before and after

What are chemical peels?

Chemical peels are dermatological procedures that apply a chemical solution to exfoliate the skin and promote new cell growth, varying in depth from superficial to deep.

Benefits include improved skin texture and reduced fine lines, an even skin tone by diminishing hyperpigmentation, and effective acne treatment by unclogging pores. They also help minimize scarring and stimulate collagen production for firmer skin.

Overall, chemical peels are a versatile option for enhancing skin appearance and addressing various concerns.

When will I see results from a peel?

The results of chemical peels vary by type and individual skin characteristics, typically appearing within a few days to a couple of weeks.

Superficial peels show quicker improvements, while medium and deep peels may take 4 to 6 weeks for optimal effects.

Longevity also depends on skin type and aftercare, with superficial peels lasting a few weeks to months, and deeper peels providing benefits for several months to a year, especially with proper skincare and maintenance treatments.

What to expect during and after a chemical peel treatment

During a chemical peel, your skin is cleansed, and a tailored chemical solution is applied, causing mild tingling or burning for a few minutes.

The procedure lasts about 30 minutes to an hour.

Afterward, expect redness, swelling, and peeling similar to a sunburn, which can last a few days to a week, especially with medium and deep peels. Improvements in texture and tone will become noticeable within a few weeks.

Following post-treatment care, like moisturizing and avoiding sun exposure, is essential for optimal healing and results.

I had a wonderful experience at Prima Bella Aesthetics for my recent CoolPeel laser treatment. Ashley is incredibly sweet & attentive, and the facility is stunning & impeccably clean. I’m so happy to have had the privilege of experiencing the work of this incredible team. I already see some improvement in scarring and uneven skin tone, and I’m excited to see my results continue to develop. I’d definitely recommend Prima Bella to anyone considering CO2 laser treatment.

Yousra gave me my first CO2 Deka laser treatment. I was so anxious before we started and she helped so much by explaining every step and answering all my questions with professionalism and confidence. She checked in with me several times throughout and let me lay with a cool rag on my face afterward. The whole experience far exceeded my expectations because of her and her calming presence. I am a committed client for life! I love the facility (THE cutest) and how welcoming and engaging everyone is. I have to have extreme trust and confidence to allow someone to perform these procedures on me. I won't go to anyone else but Ashley and Yousra for any type of cosmetic procedure. I recommend these two women a hundred times over!!!

Ashley is amazing! Our family has seen multiple dermatologists for acne. We have had much better results from Ashley. If you struggle with acne, check out how Ashley can help.

From the moment you walk in, they make you feel comfortable and heard. Ashley takes the time to understand your goals, evaluate your individual needs, and create a customized plan that works for your skin type and desired results. One thing I truly appreciate is that she never pushes products or unnecessary treatments. She provides honest recommendations and focuses on what she genuinely believes will give you the best outcome. Can’t recommend Ashley and the Prima Bella team enough!

I’ve had such a great experience at this med spa! The staff is welcoming, professional, and makes you feel comfortable from the moment you walk in. I’ve had Botox, filler, and laser treatments here, and the results have always looked natural and refreshed — never overdone. Ashley really takes the time to listen to your goals and explain everything thoroughly. The office is beautiful, clean, and relaxing, and you can tell they truly care about their clients. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my skin and treatments. Highly recommend!

Ashley and the Prima Bella staff are incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable. They took the time to make personalized recommendations and thoroughly reviewed everything so I knew exactly what to expect from my treatment. I highly recommend the erbium laser treatment—it left my skin feeling rejuvenated and I see a very noticeable difference with the hyperpigmentation spots I was aiming to treat! I’m also loving the SkinMedica products, especially the mineral sunscreen. Thanks for a wonderful experience, Ashley!

I recently had a skin peel and tried several skincare products from Prima Bella, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming and professional. The staff took the time to understand my skin concerns and explained every step of the process, which made me feel completely comfortable. The skin peel itself was gentle yet incredibly effective—my skin felt smoother, brighter, and more refreshed almost immediately. Over the following days, I noticed a real improvement in texture and tone. I also tried a few of their recommended skincare products, and they have been a game changer. They’re high-quality, easy to use, and have truly helped maintain the glow from the treatment. It’s clear they care about both results and the health of your skin.
