Is a Chemical Peel painful?

A Chemical Peel may cause a mild tingling or burning sensation during application, but it is generally not considered painful. The discomfort is usually brief and well-tolerated by most individuals. The peeling solution works to exfoliate the outer layer of the skin, and any sensations are often temporary. However, pain tolerance varies among individuals, and some may experience more sensitivity. At Aviva, we take added measures to ensure patient comfort, such as using cooling devices or applying numbing creams if needed.

How many appointments will I need?

The number of appointments for a Chemical Peel can vary based on individual skin needs and goals. Some people may achieve their desired results with a single treatment, while others may benefit from a series of sessions spaced out over several weeks. Your skincare professional at Aviva Cosmetic and Laser Clinic will assess your skin during a consultation and recommend a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific requirements.

How long until I see results?

Results from a Chemical Peel can vary depending on the type and depth of the peel, as well as individual skin characteristics. In general, you may notice an improvement in skin texture and radiance shortly after the treatment. However, more significant changes, such as reduced fine lines, improved pigmentation, and enhanced skin tone, may become more apparent over the following weeks as your skin undergoes the natural renewal process. The full benefits of a Chemical Peel often continue to evolve in the weeks following the procedure, contributing to a smoother, rejuvenated complexion. Your skincare professional at Aviva Cosmetic and Laser Clinic can provide more specific information based on your unique skin profile.

Can I combine a Chemical Peel with other procedures?

Certainly! One way to elevate your skin rejuvenation experience is by combining a Toronto Chemical Peel with other advanced procedures at Aviva Cosmetic and Laser Clinic. For a comprehensive exfoliation, consider pairing a Chemical Peel with Microdermabrasion . This dual approach addresses specific concerns at different skin depths, promoting a smoother texture and enhancing product penetration. If you’re looking to target fine lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation more intensively, combine a Chemical Peel with Laser Skin Resurfacing . This synergistic treatment plan delves into multiple layers of the skin for profound and enduring results. Alternatively, the combination of a Chemical Peel with a facial introduces a hydrating and nourishing element to the process. After the Chemical Peel, a facial replenishes the skin with essential nutrients, leaving you with a refreshed and revitalized complexion. The professionals at Aviva Cosmetic and Laser Clinic can guide you in choosing the optimal combination tailored to your specific skin needs and desired outcomes during your consultation.

What are the risks associated with a Chemical Peel?

While Chemical Peels are generally safe, they may pose certain risks, which can vary based on factors like skin type and the strength of the peel. Here are a few things to consider: Temporary Redness and Irritation: Following a Chemical Peel, it’s common to experience temporary redness and irritation, resembling a mild sunburn. Peeling and Flaking: Depending on the peel’s strength, you may experience some mild peeling and flaking as part of the skin renewal process that can usually be managed with moisturizer. Luckily, recent advancements in peel formulations have minimized the extreme flaking associated with chemical peels of the past. Changes in Skin Pigmentation: In rare cases, Chemical Peels may cause changes in skin pigmentation. Darker skin tones may be more prone to hyperpigmentation. Infection or Scarring: While rare, infection or scarring is a potential risk. Strict adherence to post-treatment care guidelines minimizes these risks.

What is a Chemical Peel?

A Chemical Peel is a non-invasive skincare treatment designed to address various skin concerns associated with an excess buildup of dead skin cells. This buildup can lead to issues such as clogged pores that make your skin appear thick and lackluster. Chemical Peels at Aviva Clinic provide a pain-free and non-irritating solution to effectively treat aging skin, and acne, and reduce sun damage, and hyperpigmentation.

Our Chemical Peels come in a range of different strengths, catering to all unique skin types and conditions. What sets this treatment apart is its ability to work deeply within the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production while encouraging cell renewal. This process contributes to smoother, brighter, and plumper skin. For enhanced results, many patients choose to combine Chemical Peels with Microdermabrasion as part of their personalized treatment plan for added benefits and a more comprehensive approach to skin rejuvenation.

What to expect on the day of a Chemical Peel treatment

On the day of your Chemical Peel at Aviva, our specialists will guide you through a final consultation and answer any last-minute questions. Your skin will be carefully cleansed, and a prepping solution will be applied.

Next, a specialized solution with a precisely chosen peel strength, tailored to suit your skin type and address your concerns, will be evenly applied with a brush. This solution works to exfoliate the outermost layer of your skin, promoting the exfoliation and removal of dead cells and stimulating the production of new, rejuvenated skin cells. In order to activate the peel, a layer of wet gauze will be placed over the solution on your skin. You might feel a mild sensation as the solution begins to work its magic.

As a final step, moisturizer and SPF will be applied to nourish and protect your skin post-treatment. The entire process takes about 30 to 45 minutes, resulting in a refreshed complexion, reduced signs of aging, and a radiant glow.

Chemical Peel recovery

Following your Chemical Peel, you can expect some redness and mild peeling, which are natural reactions as your skin begins to rejuvenate. The recovery timeline varies based on each patient’s individual healing process, but you’ll generally notice a smoother, clearer, and more radiant layer appear within a few days to a week.

Aviva’s specialists customize every chemical peel treatment to minimize downtime, allowing clients to resume their daily routines immediately without significant flaking or shedding. We recommend using sun protection and following post-peel care recommendations to help contribute to a smoother recovery process, allowing you to navigate your everyday routine with confidence during and after this rejuvenating treatment.

While the initial redness diminishes, your skin will continue to improve over the next several weeks, showing enhanced texture, tone, and reduced imperfections. Aviva ensures a supportive post-peel care plan to optimize your recovery and help you enjoy the long-term benefits of this rejuvenating treatment.
