Cincinnati Chemical Peel Treatments

A chemical peel is simply the application of different chemicals such as alpha-hydroxy acid and salicylic acid to exfoliate the skin.

Appointments can take anywhere from 30-40 minutes.

They should not hurt. You may feel a slight tingling sensation that can last for a few minutes and then dissipates. You should have no lasting discomfort after the peel. If you feel any new pain or itching, please reach out to us .

Peels are safe when done under the care of an experienced practitioner. You should always consult your provider to choose the right peel for your skin. Please stop any retinoic acid product (Retin-A, tretinoin or retinols) as well as your acne regimen 5 days prior to your peel for best results. Do not do peels if you have been on Accutane within the last 6 months. How you take care of your skin after the peel is also important. Consult your provider about the best options after your peel.

You should see results with your first peel, but for optimum results, peels should be done in a series every 3 to 6 weeks.

For most superficial peels, we recommend monthly peels in a series of 3-6 peels followed by one every 3 to 4 months for maintenance. Remember that aging does not happen overnight, so neither does the solution.

Although most people experience peeling, some people do not. Even if you do not peel, you are still benefiting from the exfoliation and collagen building qualities from your peel. Your post-care will help you heal more quickly and get back to your every day.

Almost everyone is a candidate for a peel.

Peels range in price from $100-$300 depending on the strength of the peel, but since we firmly believe that your results will be better when done in a series, we have created packages to include post-care and better pricing.
