Chemical Peel

About Chemical Peels

A chemical peel is a professional skin treatment that uses a specialized solution to exfoliate the skin, removing dead skin cells and stimulating cell renewal. AlumierMD peels are medical-grade treatments designed to improve skin texture, tone, and overall health while addressing a variety of skin concerns. These peels range in strength and formulation, allowing them to be customized to suit different skin types and conditions. With regular treatments, chemical peels can help reveal a smoother, clearer, and more radiant complexion.

How does it work

During a chemical peel, a solution is applied to the skin, causing the top layer to exfoliate and eventually shed. This process helps to stimulate collagen production and accelerate cell turnover, promoting fresh, healthy skin underneath. AlumierMD peels use carefully balanced ingredients such as lactic acid, salicylic acid, and resorcinol to target specific skin concerns while minimizing irritation. Depending on the depth of the peel, some patients may experience mild flaking, while others may notice little to no peeling, with results becoming more visible in the days following the treatment.

    A gentle, multifunctional alpha-hydroxy acid resurfacing peel containing pure lactic acid to decrease the visible signs of aging and discoloration.

    This highly effective peel contains pure salicylic acid (BHA) to improve skin tone and texture by exfoliating dead skin cells in and around the follicles. This treatment helps to reduce sebaceous secretions and control acne breakouts as well as ingrown hairs.

How do I know which AlumierMD peel is right for me?

Your skin professional will assess your skin type and concerns to recommend the best peel for your needs. AlumierMD offers a range of peels suited for different skin types and conditions.

What can I expect during the treatment?

The peel process involves cleansing the skin, applying the chemical solution, and allowing it to work for a set period. You may experience a mild tingling or warming sensation, but the treatment is generally comfortable.

Will my skin peel after the treatment?

Peeling varies from person to person. Some may experience light flaking, while others may have little to no visible peeling. Regardless of peeling, the treatment is still effective in rejuvenating the skin.

How long does a chemical peel take?

The entire treatment typically takes about 30 to 45 minutes, making it an easy and effective option for skin renewal.

Is there any downtime after a chemical peel?

AlumierMD peels are designed to minimize downtime. Some redness, sensitivity, and mild flaking may occur for a few days, but most clients can resume their normal activities shortly after treatment.

How many treatments will I need?

For optimal results, a series of 3-6 treatments spaced about 4 weeks apart is recommended. Your technician will create a customized plan based on your skin goals.

Can I wear makeup after a chemical peel?

It’s best to avoid makeup for at least 24 hours post-treatment to allow your skin to heal and absorb the benefits of the peel.

What should I do for aftercare?

Follow your technician’s post-care instructions, which may include avoiding sun exposure, using a gentle skincare routine, and applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily.

Who is a good candidate for an AlumierMD peel?

AlumierMD peels are suitable for most skin types and can address various concerns like acne, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and uneven skin tone. A consultation will determine if this treatment is right for you.
